Mexico City Food: Frequently Asked Questions

Is mexico city known for food.

Yes — Mexico City is definitely known as a foodie town! From the amazing street food in Mexico City, to the best Mexico City restaurants, it’s hard to eat a bad meal in CDMX.

However, it’s not the only region or city in Mexico known for the delicious food.

Oaxaca City , the capital of Oaxaca state , is actually known as the Foodie Capital of Mexico. It is located about 285 miles (460 km) south of Mexico City, and the best place to try authentic Oaxaca food , like mole.

The Yucatan food in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula is also well-known and very well-loved. Signature dishes here include cochinita pibil, a type of suckling pig that’s marinated in local spices and slow-roasted underground.

As traditional Mexican cooking and traditional Mexican cuisine are both so regional, you’ll just have to visit all the different regions of Mexico to try their unique cuisine.

⭐️ On a personal note: My favorite is the Poblano cuisine of Puebla Mexico . If you’re looking into the best day trips from Mexico City , Puebla is only about 2.5 hours from Mexico City by rental car .

What is Mexico City food?

Wondering, How is Mexico City food different? While you will absolutely find plenty of Mexico City tacos in all shapes, flavors and varieties — there’s more to the Mexico City cuisine story.

Here are a 10 more of the best Mexico City foods you must try when you visit:

1. Chilaquiles

One of the best traditional Mexican foods you can have for breakfast or brunch is chilaquiles (pronounced chill-ah-kil-les).

Chilaquiles is a traditional breakfast dish that originated in Central Mexico hundreds of years ago. What makes this dish so great is that it can be prepared in many ways.

You can order chilaquiles with salsa roja (red salsa), salsa verde (green salsa), or both, and even mole . It can be made with day-old totopos (tortilla chips), so the chips soak up all the salsa, but some places use fresh chips.

2. Tortas (Sandwiches)

One of the most famous Mexicans sayings is about making sure to get your daily dose of Vitamin T — the T of course stands for tacos, but also for tamales and tortas.

As far as Mexico street foods go, the torta (sandwich) is just as important as the taco. While tacos are one of the most common Mexican lunch foods, many eat tortas for breakfast.

3. Guajolota (tamal Torta)

A guajolota (pronounced waa-ho-low-tah) is a torta with a tamal inside it. Basically — a tamale sandwich. You’ll find these for sale from street vendors in the morning, as it’s a popular breakfast sandwich for workers on the go.

4. Chilaquiles Tortas

Another popular breakfast torta is the chilaquiles torta. The most famous place to get a Mexico City chilaquiles torta is La Esquina del Chilaquil , where people sometimes line up for an hour to get their sandwich.

5. Chicharron Preparado

Chicharrón Preparado, or “prepared chicharron,” is a beloved Mexican City street food.

At first glance, they look like a square pizza topped with veggies. However, instead of being pizza dough, it’s a large chicharron de harina , a rectangular-shaped flatbed made of fried corn flour that puffs up when fried.

The cooked chicharron de harina is topped with shredded cabbage, tomatoes, sliced avocado, shredded cheese, jalapeño peppers, crema (sour cream), Valentina hot sauce and squeeze of fresh lime to top it all off.

6. Tlacoyos

Tlacoyos (pronounced tla-coy-yos) are one of the best foods from Mexico City, and something you’ll usually only find sold on the streets. This Mexico City street foods staple dates back even before the Aztecs.

Made with blue or yellow masa (cornmeal dough), the football-shaped tortilla of the tlacoyos is much thicker than a taco tortilla.

Vendors stuff the dough with any combination of pinto or fava beans, potatoes, chicharron (pork rinds), and a creamy Mexican cheese called requesón.

They are then dry-fried on large griddles, so the outside of the crisps, while the inside stays soft and doughy — the key factor to its deliciousness.

There are a lot of variations of sweet breads, or pan dulce in Mexico. Of them all, there is none more popular than the concha, meaning “shell.”

This traditional breakfast pastry gets its name from a shell-shaped pattern made with sugar that’s on top of the bread.

8. Machetes

If you stretched a taco to 10 times its original length, you’d have a machete. It’s actually a cross between quesadilla and a long taco — think 18- to 23-inches-long (45-60 cm) — and something you rarely see outside Mexico City.

9. Gorditas de Nata

Gorditas de nata, meaning “clotted cream biscuits,” are a popular Mexico City street food.

This sweet treat looks like a cross between a pancake and a biscuit, though much smaller than both. These bite-sized cookies are made with crema de nata, which is a sweetened, heavy cream.

10. Camotes

Camotes literally means “sweet potatoes,” but these are served as a dessert in Mexico with lechera (sweetened, condensed milk) on top. You can buy them from street vendors, who usually have sweet potatoes and plantains to sell.

What is the most famous food in Mexico City?

Tacos — Tacos and Mexico City go together like milk and cookies! The most popular and best Mexico City tacos are tacos al pastor. These are pork tacos marinated in spices and cooked on a spit (called a trompo).

However, there are plenty of other types of tacos in Mexico City you’ll want to try. These include:

• Suadero tacos: A fatty cut of meat located between the belly and the leg
• Tacos de canasta: Meaning “basket tacos”
• Tacos arabes: Arabian tacos that are similar to a gyro

Where to go for street food in Mexico City?

🏪 local tianguis.

Local open-air tianguis are great spots for trying out one or more street food options in Mexico City. 

They are present in most neighborhoods, although it is common for them to set up shop on specific days of the week. 

A local Mexico City street food guide will be useful for finding out which tianguis are open on which days, but most people will happily inform you about the one in your neighborhood if you ask around.

Even though many tianguis stalls take debit and credit cards nowadays, not all of them do, so do bring cash just in case.

Markets or mercados are an important part of Mexican culture, and they are as varied as everything else in Mexico. 

The capital city is home to many popular markets which, contrary to open-air tianguis , are covered.

These are sprawling establishments filled with stalls and stands that sell just about everything, ranging from clothes to household items and food. 

Following is a list of must-visit Mexico City food markets for every type of visitor, and mood.

Mercado Medellin

A colorful market in the trendy Roma neighborhood that offers a nice variety of flowers, spices, clothes, candy, and party wares, Mercado Medellin is home to two food areas.

Catering to locals and tourists alike, this market is never full, so it is a nice option when your aim is to visit a street food market without dealing with crowds.

Mercado Roma

Less traditional than other Mexico City markets, Mercado Roma is a modern version that is more like a trendy gourmet food hall free of the chaos of other options. 

This is probably the best food market in Mexico City for eating international and fusion cuisine and is very popular with tourists and ex-pats.

Mercado de Coyoacan

One of the most traditional markets in Mexico City, Mercado de Coyoacan was founded more than 100 years ago and is considered a top place for finding art and handicrafts, clothes, and souvenirs. 

With a laid-back “hippyish” ambiance, it is also a nice street food market in Mexico City, with stalls inside as well as outside in the surrounding plaza and garden.

Mercado de San Juan

Considered one of the best food markets in Mexico City, Mercado de San Juan specializes in gourmet food and exotic dishes for the more adventurous visitors. 

This is the place to go if you’re big on trying different kinds of quirky dishes, but regular food is also available.

Mercado La Merced

Mercado la Merced is hands down the largest traditional market in Mexico City, with hundreds of colorful stalls selling all kinds of wares at great prices.

Amid the vendors touting everything from socks to housewares and gifts, you’ll find the food court area serving delicious street food and snacks.

🚦 Popular Streets

Popular streets for finding Mexican street food are Juarez Avenue in the Historic Center, Lorenzo Boturini, Cuauhtemoc Avenue, and Paseo de la Reforma, especially around the museums and Chapultepec Park. 

Parks are wonderful spots to get a respite from the hustle and bustle of Mexico City, but they also offer Mexican street food and snacks. 

A popular park where you can get a nice mix of culture, green time, and Mexico City street food is La Alameda Park in the historic downtown, right beside the Bellas Artes Palace.

Sprawling Chapultepec Park is another option, especially in the designated areas leading to Chapultepec Castle, the two man-made lakes, and the zoo. 

Best Street Food in Mexico City

#1 tacos al pastor.

Tacos al pastor are hands down the most popular variety of tacos in Mexico City and are considered the best street food in Mexico City by many.

Consisting of soft corn tortillas filled with thinly sliced pork meat previously marinated in spicy chiles and achiotes and then cooked in a slow-turning vertical rotisserie, they are most commonly eaten at night . 

You can find this Mexico City delicacy in many establishments that go from simple street stalls to large, fancy taquerías , some of which cater to hungry party-goers until the wee hours of the morning.

#2 Tacos A La Plancha

Tacos a la plancha are corn or wheat tortillas with a huge variety of fillings cooked on a searing flattop grill, which results in a brown, crispy exterior with juices sealed in. 

The most common flavors are beef, chicken, and pork, but you can find just about everything cooked on a grill, including fish, shrimp, mushrooms, sausage, and even Provolone and other types of cheese. 

#3 Tacos de Carnitas

Similar to pulled pork, this type of taco is made from pork shoulder that is simmered in a copper pot for several hours, resulting in tender meat. 

Served in corn tortillas , carnitas are traditional meat from the state of Michoacan in central Mexico.

You’ll find them in many establishments in Mexico City, especially during the day.

But on Saturdays and Sundays, street stalls selling tacos de carnitas sprout up in many Mexico City food markets and street corners.

#4 Tacos Guisado

Made by filling a corn tortilla with homemade style dishes, tacos de guisado are extremely popular for breakfast and lunch. 

You’re sure to find one or more stalls on most busy street corners, and their guisados are as varied as you can imagine, including breaded chicken, potatoes, sausage, meatballs, pork, beef, and chicken dishes cooked in a wide variety of spicy stews.

#5 Tacos De Cabeza

Tacos de cabeza , or “head tacos” are made from meat from a cow’s head, which is very tender. 

The meat is braised or steamed to enhance its flavor and then served inside corn tortillas .

They can be found in many taco stalls and market stalls around Mexico City, especially during the day.

#6 Tacos de Canasta

Tacos de Canasta literally translates into “Basket Tacos”, a name they acquired because of the way they are kept warm and transported inside baskets. 

They are small corn tortillas with some type of filling, which are then kept in a basket covered with a sheet of plastic and a cloth to preserve their temperature while getting slightly humid.

The most common fillings are beans, mashed potatoes, pork rind, and chicken in mole. 

Usually served in orders of 3 or 4 tacos, they are sold around Mexico City in special bicycles at ridiculously cheap prices.

#7 Tacos de Suadero

Tacos de Suadero perfectly represents Mexico City street food. 

Elaborated with corn tortillas filled with a thin, soft, kind of greasy cut of beef, they are very popular with locals as they mix the 3 “bs” most Mexican workers seek: “ Bueno, bonito, barato ”, which translates into “good, nice, and cheap”. 

Tacos de Suadero street stands sprouted all over the city during the 1950s and 1960s when large numbers of workers arrived from rural areas to work in Mexico City.

These spicy tacos can still be found on many street corners and are well worth a try.

#8 Taco Campechano

Contrary to what many people might think, Tacos Campechanos are not tacos from the Mexican state of Campeche. 

The term “campechano” is also used to refer to a mix of ingredients, usually two of them.

That is to say, a tortilla filled with beef and pork meat, for example, chicken and beef, or pork meat with spicy sausage. 

You will not normally find taco stands touting they serve Tacos Campechanos , but you can ask for them in any stand that serves two fillings or more.

#9 Barbacoa Tacos

Barbacoa Tacos are stars when it comes to weekend breakfast tacos in Mexico City and other parts of the country. 

Made from goat or lamb meat traditionally steam-cooked in an underground pit, you’ll find plenty of street stalls that serve them together with a steamy broth, especially on Saturdays and Sundays. 

Although a few places serve Barbacoa all through the week, especially in Mexico City markets, locals consider them a breakfast delicacy (which means anywhere from 9 am to 3 pm!)

#10 Mixiote Tacos

A Mixiote is a traditional Mexican dish that consists of meat such as beef, chicken, or pork together with a spicy chili sauce while wrapped around a banana leaf. 

They combine some of the best that Mexican street food has to offer!

Some places serve Mixiotes still wrapped in the banana leaf with a platter of tortillas so that you get to make your own tacos. Others make it easier by serving readymade tacos (less fun, but also less mess!)

#11 Birria Tacos

Birria tacos are made by filling a corn tortilla with a spicy dish made of meat (usually goat or lamb, but sometimes made with beef or pork). The meat is cooked in a spicy chili sauce and melted cheese.

Originally from the state of Jalisco, they are very popular in the capital city and can be found in almost any Mexico City food market.

#12 Carne Asada Tacos

Put simply, Carne Asada Tacos are grilled beef tacos. These corn or wheat tortillas are filled with simple, thin beef steaks that are cooked on a grill.

They can be found on any street food market in Mexico City and many lone stalls around town. 

Even though they might not be the most interesting tacos you’ll find or the best street food in Mexico City, they are a tasty and reliable option for finicky eaters, sensitive stomachs, and children. 

Carne Asada or “bistec” tacos also offer the opportunity to appreciate the different salsas available without mixing too many flavors.

#13 Tlacoyos

A traditional dish since prehispanic times, Tlacoyos are small oval-shaped patties made from corn dough filled with beans that are fried or grilled, then served with fresh cream, shredded lettuce, cheese, and salsa toppings. 

They can be found in most Mexico City street food markets in their regular or blue corn variety.

Tortas are to Mexico as sandwiches are to the US and other countries. 

A fresh bread roll that is soft on the inside and crusty on the outside is sliced length-wise, and then filled with a variety of ingredients that go from sliced ham, breaded beef, and chicken, to just about everything you can imagine.

The filling is then accompanied by cheese, fresh cream, sliced tomato, avocado, onion, jalapeños, and more.

#14 Tortas de Chilaquiles

Filled with a bean base and chilaquiles , which are sliced tortillas bathed with green or red salsa, then topped with fresh cream, pulled chicken, cheese, and onions, Tortas de Chilaquiles have become quite trendy. 

Although they are not a staple fare of Mexico City street food like other tortas, they can nevertheless be found in food stalls that are increasingly appearing all over Mexico City.

#15 Torta Cubana

This is the richest torta as it is filled with a large number of ingredients, including ham and other cold meats, frankfurters, two or more types of cheese, avocado, and tomatoes. 

Contrary to what the name suggests, it is a traditional Mexico City street food, most likely created in the capital city.

Word was they owe their name to the fact that they were first prepared in a torta stand in the “República de Cuba” street in the historic center.

Tamales are a prehispanic meal made from cornmeal dough and a filling, wrapped in a banana or corn leaf, and then steamed.

With variations depending on the region’s tradition, tamales are a staple breakfast for millions of Mexico City residents on the go.

They are also sold at night in hundreds of simple corner stands or by vendors riding special bicycles while touting their wares. 

Most tamales are filled with some kind of meat prepared with diverse sauces, usually red, green, and mole , but most stalls have veggie and sweet versions too.

You are sure to find tamales and their “ torta ” version ( Guajolota ) on many busy street corners as well as outside of metro stations from as early as 6 am.

#16 Oaxaqueño

The Oaxacan version of tamales consists of cornmeal dough filled with mole sauce and chicken or pork wrapped in a banana leaf.

They are some of the most popular street food in Mexico City.

#17 Corn tamal

As the name suggests, Corn Tamales or Tamales de Elote are made with corn dough and wrapped in a corn leaf. Salt or sugar is added to make them salty or sweet.

#18 Dry corn leaf

The most common type of tamales in Mexico City (closely followed by tamales oaxaqueños).

They are elaborated with cornmeal dough filled with a meat and sauce combination or sweet and wrapped inside a dry corn leaf.

#19 Deep-fried tamal

In this version, classic tamales are deep-fried before being wrapped in the banana or corn leaf for added richness.

#20 Guajolota or Tamal Torta

Guajolotas combines two classics when it comes to the best Mexico City street food: Tamales and tortas.

They are prepared using the crust bread of tortas and filling them up with a tamal .

A carb bomb? You bet, but a pretty delicious one.

🥑 Quesadillas

Another star when it comes to the best street food in Mexico City, quesadillas are folded tortillas filled with a wide variety of ingredients and then cooked on a grill or deep-fried. 

Some stalls offer both options and the choice of white or blue corn for the tortilla , which is made right then and there.

They can be found inside and right outside the best street food markets in Mexico City, as well as on many busy street corners. 

#21 Deep fried quesadillas

This version of quesadillas , as the name suggests, consists of flattened corn dough which is folded and filled with one or more varied ingredients before being deep fried. 

They are served with fresh cream, cheese, lettuce, and salsa toppings, depending on your choice.

#22 Gordita de chicharrón

A round cornmeal ball flattened by hand and filled with tasty pork rind cooked in salsa, Gorditas de Chicharrón is usually found in quesadilla stands in and outside all Mexico City street food markets.  

#23 Tostadas

A round, hard tortilla with a consistency similar to chips topped with curled beans, pulled chicken, or other meat dishes, then topped with minced lettuce, fresh cream, white cheese, and salsa. 

If you cannot eat it without it breaking, worry not; it’s part of the ritual.

#24 Elotes/Esquites (Corn/corn salad)

Few Mexico City street foods beat Elotes and Esquites when it comes to making people of all ages happy, may they be locals or visitors. 

They can be found alongside one another in hundreds of stalls and stands around Mexico City.

Elotes are steamed corn cobs on a stick, prepared with mayonnaise or fresh cream, then sprinkled with thinly grated white cheese and red powdered chili . 

Esquites are the same thing, but the corn grains are served in a cup with the other ingredients added, resulting in a sort of salad.

Made from the same cornmeal dough tortillas are made from, sopes are also round but somewhat thicker, with the dough slightly pinched at the edges in order to better hold the ingredients placed at the top. 

They are typically prepared with curled refried beans, fresh cream, cheese, diced lettuce, and salsa.

You can usually find sopes at quesadilla street and market stalls.

#26 Huarache

Similar to sopes , huaraches are made with the same ingredients and fillings, but they are oval-shaped and larger.  

#27 Gorditas

A round cornmeal ball that is flattened by hand and filled with tasty pork rind cooked with salsa, Gorditas de Chicharrón is usually sold in quesadilla stands in and outside most Mexico City street food markets.

#28 Flautas

Named that way because of their shape, flautas or “flutes” are rolled-up corn tortilla tacos, which are then deep-fried and served with a good slather of sour cream and salsa. 

The most common fillings are potato, shredded chicken, shredded beef, and beans.

#29 Taquitos

Taquitos are a smaller version of flautas .

They are small rolled-up corn tortillas filled with shredded chicken or beef, refried beans, mashed potatoes, or other ingredients.

They are then deep-fried before being served with sour cream, ground cheese, and red or green salsa. Shredded lettuce is sometimes added as a topping.

#30 Pambazos

A Pambazo in Mexico City is a type of sandwich made by stuffing a special type of bread—similar to a Kaiser roll—with potatoes and red sausage (chorizo) or chicken in a green mole.

It is then rapidly dipped in a spicy guajillo chile broth and served with sour cream, ground white cheese, and shredded lettuce.

#31 Dorilocos

Probably the most modern addition to Mexico City street food as they have been around for only about a decade. 

Dorilocos can best be described as a crazy, fiery snack based on Nacho Cheese Doritos which are topped with a seemingly random mix of cubed cucumber, grated carrot and jícama , gummy bears, shelled peanuts, and pickled pork rinds. 

But it doesn’t stop there. The whole mix is then bathed in lime juice, powdered chile, Valentina sauce, and chamoy— a delicious sweet-sour spicy sauce commonly used in chips and fruit snacks. 

#32 Chicharrones

Sold in bustling parks and Mexico City food markets, chicharrones are large, flat, crunchy pieces of pork rind topped with sour cream, spicy salsa, and lettuce. 

They can also be made from flour to get the perfect rectangular shape, but the toppings are the same in both varieties. 

#33 Churros

A popular Spanish contribution to Mexico City street food, churros are long bread sticks made with batter shaped by a star-shaped pastry nozzle.

They are deep-fried and covered with sugar in a cooking process that is very similar to making donuts. 

They are usually sold in paper bags containing 3, 6, or more pieces in bicycle stalls and street corners all over the city.

#34 Jicaletas

Put simply, Jicaletas are large slices of jícama on a stick spiced with lime, powdered chili, and chamoy sauce. 

Jícama is a root vegetable that grows in Mexico and other central parts of America. It is white on the inside and has a consistency similar to apples but almost no flavor.

#35 Camotes

Camotes are sweet potatoes that are slowly cooked over a woodfire that is installed right in the cart where they are transported and sold. 

Served with evaporated milk, they can be found randomly in Mexico City streets, usually after sundown. 

Vendors go around chosen streets touting their sweet wares with a distinctive whistle that all locals recognize, although the tradition is slowly disappearing.

Cooked unpeeled bananas are usually sold side by side.

🍹 Fruit Cocktails and Juice

It is not at all uncommon to find fruit cocktails and juice stands inside Mexico City food markets and on busy streets. 

Your choice of fruit with honey and granola, accompanied by orange, grapefruit, or tangerine juice is the best way to kick off a day of sightseeing.

For many visitors, this is the best Mexican street food as it is cheap and healthy.

#37 Fruit and Chilli

A delicious, fresh alternative in Mexico City street food is spicy fruit, which is sliced fruit spiced with lime and powdered chile, usually served in a cup at amazingly low prices. 

Coconut, watermelon, papaya, cucumber, pineapple, cantaloupe, and even grated carrot are usually available in stalls and bicycles around the city.

#38 Pan Dulce

Pan Dulce or Sweet bread is a term that refers to the wide array of sweet pastries that are freshly baked and sold throughout Mexico City’s streets, usually in the morning and evening. 

They range from soft conchas to donuts and big cookies. Some are covered with sugar, others filled with sweet cream or chocolate, or sprinkled with colorful sweet candy.

The best thing is that no preservatives and few or no chemicals are used in their elaboration as they are usually homemade.

#39 Conchas

One of the most popular varieties of Pan Dulce or Sweet Bread, conchas are soft pastries with a buttery and sweet crust that is usually found in its traditional vanilla or chocolate-flavored round shape. 

In the past few years, bakers have gotten more creative, offering more shapes and colors.

#40 Rebanadas

Another variety of Pan Dulce or Sweet bread, Rebanadas are delicious thick slices of bread slathered with a mix of sweet cream, butter, and sugar. 

#41 Papas con limon y chile (Chips with lemon and hot sauce)

As the name suggests, these are potato chips that are spiced with lime and hot bottled sauce. 

They are sold in parks, street corners, and Mexico City food markets, although it is common to find vendors on bicycle carts riding around town.
