Try the Burrito or Alambre "Pastor" and the "Jamaica" (Hibiscus) Drink. The Salsas at the table are the best!

The "Tortas" at this street food stand are well priced and are really delicious! Don't mistake this for the Tortas Restaurant "Santa Fe" across the street 😉

El Che y El Güey: Argentinian Empenadas
@juliascheidt
Mouthwatering Empanadas! The hidden star is the Chimichurri (the green herbs sauce) 🤤
Come early as they quickly run out of some of the variants.

At various food stands you'll get the delicious "Marquesitas". Try it with Nutella and cheese (queso de bola).

MEGA Soriana
@juliascheidt
If you're tired of grocery shopping just sit down and enjoy a coffee or even a pizza here.
Highly recommend the "bread" slices with chocolate for just a couple of pesos.
