"Head on over to the Mercado Municipal San Miguel. Inside you’ll find the standard market fare: spices, veggies, fish, slaughtered animals being cut up, sweaters, knick knacks, and the best part- a food court. Inside the food court are several different restaurants, each with their own colored tables marking their territory. I sat at the turquoise colored tables because I liked the girl working there. She was the first person who approached me when I entered and explained the various food items.
I was looking for typical foods of the region, and I found exactly that here! I got one tamale con carne picante (with spicy meat), and one humita dulce (sweet corn). The humita is very much like a tamale in texture, though slightly smoother. It is a mash of corn, with two options- dulce (sweet) or salado (salty). I went for the sweet one, and was not disappointed. I wanted something to contrast with my spicy tamale, and I made the right choice! I was honestly not that hungry when I ate, but ended up finishing it all. I couldn’t help myself. Don’t forget to add the aji picante (red sauce). It will take your meal from a 9 to a 10!"
