Among the traditional dishes of the middle area of San Luis Potosí stands out the drunken stew, cooked with various types of meat (chicken, beef, pork and kid), jerky, sausage, vegetables (potatoes, carrots, corn, chayote, cactus and zucchini), herbs, chili peppers (Chinese and piquin), olives, almonds, raisins and pulque.
The dish was already used in the region of Ciudad del Maiz, S. L. P. since the 1850s. This recipe has been prepared by the family of General Saturnino Cedillo for more than four generations.
This Guido Borracho was part of the political life of Mexico and the State of San Luis Potosí. Saturnino Cedillo at the height of his political life, as Governor of the State of San Luis Potosí and as Secretary of Agriculture in the presidency of Pascual Ortiz Rubio and then Lázaro Cárdenas del Río, offered personal and official banquets to the politicians in turn. Even President Cárdenas, on several occasions, asked him to send the exquisite stew to Mexico City and General Cedillo gladly sent it in his private plane.
