Street Food


Street food in Mexico might scare the bejesus out of many a gringo, but I have a serious weakness for eating on the street and food carts are everywhere. These over-stuffed quesadillas were Mexican heaven. Another favorite has been the elotes carts, which serve corn on a stick smeared with mayonnaise, hot sauce and cheese. You just gotta choose carefully and have a little of the pink stuff (Pepto-Bismol) on hand, just in case.


Then there are the endless hole-in-the-wall taquerias. Across from our hostel, we couldn't resist the 2 for 1 tacos al pastor, which we covered with onions, cilantro, salsa verde and pineapple, of all things. Sooo good!
