- Found on most tables in Mexican homes and restaurants, this versatile condiment enhances any savory dish. It is made with tomatillos, that are known in Mexico as tomates verdes; and although they aren't, in fact, related to tomatoes, their size, shape and texture are similar. You'll find them fresh, covered in their brown papery husks, in ethnic markets, well-stocked food stores, or possibly in fruit and vegetable shops; they are also sold canned.
