6 Foods You MUST Eat in Mexico City / Yummy CDMX Street Food
In today's Mexico City travel vlog, I tell you the 6 foods you must eat in Mexico City. You must try Al Pastor Tacos, Churros, Mango con Chile y Limon, Nopales, Chilaquiles, and Pambazos.
In my opinion these are the best street food to eat and some of the best Mexican food. Here are the foods I recommend:
Al Pastor Tacos
Im sure you’ve had tacos before but one of the most traditional Mexican styles is: Taco Al Pastor. The pork is marinated for days and then spit-roasted, shawarma style. Add some pineapple, onion, cilantro, chili and some lime juice and you have a favor explosion in your mouth! They also make a chicken version of Al Pastor if pork isn’t your thing.
Churros
While this may not have originated in Mexico — Mexican Churros are so freaking yummy, I had to include them on this list. Churros are deep fried and dipped in sugar and cinnamon. You can add a dipping sauce like chocolate, caramel or condensed milk — to make them even more yummy!
Mango con Chile y Limon (Mango with chili powder and lime)
You’ll find a lot of street vendors selling Mango with a red seasoning on top. Stop and try!! While you might not think that mango, chili powder and lime would go good together, they do! Do not to skip a single ingredient as their flavors blend in perfect harmony.
Nopales (cactus)
While these aren’t as delicious as the other items on this list…..I think you should probably still try this traditional Mexican dish. Nopales are cactus leaves. The cactus leaves contain a lot of water and are also very rich in vitamins and minerals. They are usually cooked and then used in salsas and sometimes used to make a low calorie tortilla alternative. I tried them plain and while they aren’t my favorite - they weren’t too terrible. I’d give them a try and see how you like them.
Chilaquiles
Next on the list is the most iconic breakfast you can get in Mexico City: Chilaquiles. Chilaquiles are warm corn tortilla chips smothered in eggs, sauce, and cheese. This is one of my favorite dishes!
Pambazos
Pambazos are sandwiches made with potatoes and chorizo that are dipped in red pepper sauce and then fried. I know, I know…that sounds a bit odd but I promise you they are delicious! These have become my most favorite lunch dish here in Mexico City — even over al pastor tacos!!! By the way, the Pambazo I ate in this video was only 20 pesos or $1!!! There is cheap food in Mexico City.
Those are my recommendations. Most of the are Mexico City street food items that you can find at most street food vendor areas. Trying Mexico City street food should be on every list things to do in Mexico City, especially if you enjoy food travel. _ ★ Perfect Travel Shirts: →My audience now gets a 10% discount from UNBOUND MERINO when you use the discount code: WAKEUP at website https://shrsl.com/3j0ru
