¡Hola! Soy Silvia – Welcome to Mama Latina Tips!

Español

If you’ve ever tried authentic Mexican food and thought, “I wish I could make this at home,” you’re in the right place. Here at Mama Latina Tips, I share real Mexican recipes, cooking tips, and cultural traditions straight from my kitchen in California—where I blend the flavors of my Mexican roots with my American life.

Why I Started Mama Latina Tips

When I first started this blog, my goal was to connect with other Latina moms online. It began as a lifestyle blog, covering motherhood, home, kids, travel and traditions. But over time, I noticed something: people kept coming back for the recipes. The food—our food—was what brought people together.

Now, Mama Latina Tips is focused on celebrating Mexican culture through food, sayings, and festivities. I want to help you bring the warmth and richness of Mexican traditions into your own kitchen, no matter where you live.

A Little About Me

I was born and raised in the State of Guanajuato in Mexico, and I’ve been cooking since I was 12. Today, I live in California and am proud to be both Mexican and American—a beautiful blend of two cultures. I understand what it means to miss the flavors of home, and I love helping others recreate those comforting dishes, whether you're…

  • Craving a dish you had on a trip to Mexico 🇲🇽
  • Trying to keep family traditions alive 🫶
  • Married to a Mexican and want to surprise your suegra 😉

…or just love delicious food that tells a story!

What You’ll Find Here

  • Traditional Mexican recipes (with step-by-step photos)

What I love

When I'm not cooking or watching a cooking show, I love to dance, read, watch movies or having cafecito with my friends.
