Mexican Street Food
Tacos, tortas, and tamales
RegionNorth America
Mexican street food is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage for a reason.
The Golden Rule
Eat where the locals eat. A long line of taxi drivers or office workers means the food is good and turnover is high.
The Staples
Tacos al pastor (pork on a spit), barbacoa, tamales for breakfast, and elote (corn) in the evenings.
Salsas
Always test the salsa on your hand before pouring it on your taco. Green isn't always mild.
