DÜNYA ŞEHİRLERİNDE SOKAK LEZZETLERİ

Mexico City, Mexico

The scene: Tacos are just the tip of the iceberg. You can’t walk half a block in Ciudad de México without stumbling across a panoply of street eats: tortas, tamales, tlacoyos, sopes, huaraches, flautas, tortas, chilaquiles, chicharrones…the list goes on and on. Might as well pull up a stool and give in to temptation.

The dish: tamales, a log of grainy corn dough steamed in a corn husk or banana leaf and eaten for breakfast.

Editor's note: Shortly before we were to publish this gallery, a powerful earthquake struck Mexico City. While we are aware that the tourism industry will no doubt be affected, we decided to leave the city as a selection to show one of the many reasons we at Traveler love—and will continue to travel to—Mexico City.
