Earlier in this list of Mexican foods you should try, we mentioned what a molcajete is, which again is a stone bowl used to grind or mash various foodstuffs. Aside from being a kitchen tool, the molcajete can also be used as a serving bowl or container for hot dishes, primarily due to its amazing ability to hold heat. Serving food in a molcajete ensures that the dish remains warm throughout service, allowing people to enjoy hot dishes the way that they should.

An example of how molcajete is used comes by way of this dish, which is sort of like a Mexican fondue. A boiling-hot, spicy, sour tomatillo salsa is placed in a molcajete with golden-brown Manchego cheese sticks plus cubes of cactus plant happily bubbling inside. The dish is served with a side of flour tortillas, which are used to scoop up the cheese and sauce from the bowl.
