Imagine yourself travelling around Mexico on a beautiful summer day. Between various stops along your journey, your stomach starts to rumble. As you look around, there are so many street vendors offering delicious delights, but which should you choose? Here are some common Mexican street foods that might satisfy that craving.
Tacos – Not an unfamiliar dish to anyone travelling outside of the U.S. However, unlike Americanized tacos, Mexican tacos are usually filled with steak, tripe or chorizo (a Spanish-style) sausage and garnished with guacamole, salsa, onions and cilantro. They are served in two overlapping corn tortillas. You will rarely find them garnished with cheese like their American counterparts.
Tortas – A torta is a traditional Mexican sandwich. Served on a round roll, the buyer can choose from a variety of meats including pork, steak, ham, shrimp and even tongue. The sandwich is usually accented with avocado, sour cream, lettuce, jalapeno, and tomato and cheese. You can even get a breakfast variety which usually includes ham, bacon or bologna and scrambled eggs.
Aguas Frescas – Perhaps you need a little something to quench your thirst? Aguas frescas is Spanish for “cold waters” and these beverages are usually a combination of seeds, grains and fruits with sugar and water. A popular aguas frescas is the horchada, which is a sweet drink made with walnuts, barley, and rice and is scented with vanilla and cinnamon.
No matter which dish you choose, you’ll be enjoying great delicacies from traditional recipes passed down from generation to generation.
