A Barrio de la Merced chorizo specialist selling and grilling chorizo verde in classic, spicy and seasonal versions, including a tamarind variety in season.
LOSEME operates out of the Barrio de la Merced neighborhood in Toluca de Lerdo, specializing entirely in chorizo, both the classic green and red versions and a rotating set of variations that includes Argentine-style, morita chile, habanero, and seasonal editions like tamarind chorizo. The shop functions as both a butcher-style counter, selling raw chorizo by the kilo for home cooking, and a casual eatery where the sausage is grilled to order and served in tacos or on a plate with tortillas and salsa. The space is simple and functional rather than a sit-down restaurant experience, oriented toward quick service and takeaway. Because of its focus and reputation among locals, it draws customers from across Toluca specifically for chorizo rather than a broader menu.
