Mexican Food Blog with Authentic Mexican Recipes

Self portrait of Ana Frias

I’m Ana Frias, the heart behind this blog. I’m so happy you’re here!

I’m a food photographer, recipe developer, and founder of Muy Delish, where I share my love of Mexican cuisine.

I was born and raised in Mexico and have a deep passion for authentic Mexican cuisine. I started this blog in 2015 as a way to document my culinary adventures and share my family’s traditional recipes with others.

Since then, my blog has grown in popularity and has been featured in publications such as Women’s Health, Sunset Magazine, American Express and NBC Latino.

Thank you for visiting, and I hope you find joy and inspiration in each recipe shared here. Let’s savor the flavors of tradition together at Muy Delish.

Behind the recipes’ history

This is, first and foremost, a Mexican food blog. Most recipes are from my native country Mexico with a few non-Mexican recipes here and there.

Most are healthy, some are not, and some are in between. I’m devoted to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but believe no food is off limits if eaten in moderation!

I’ve been a fitness enthusiast all of my life and began weight lifting sixteen years ago. It’s very important to me to eat foods that are high in protein, healthy fat, and carbs to fuel my body well.

I take those beloved, hearty meals we all crave and reimagine them with better ingredients or methods —think lighter sauces, more vegetables, leaner meats or air fried instead of deep fried.

Like these Carnitas, Beef Chorizo or Frijoles Charros. However, I must admit there are some where the original recipe is best, as the taste cannot be recreated like my Flour Tortillas or Tres Leches cake. Just enjoy them in moderation!

The goal is to create recipes that are just as satisfying as the originals but better for you. This way, you can enjoy your favorite comfort foods while sticking to your health goals.
