They have elotes and esquites (corn kernels in a cup). I love both but the elote on a stick is really the best way to eat it. The standard corn is slathered with mayo, covered in cheese and then sprinkled with chili and a squeeze of lime. Don't be afraid to ask for less or none of any of the ingredients if you want a lighter flavor. Personally I don't like too much lime so I always omit it.

And in either case, they'll slather some mayo on it, smother it with fresh white cheese, and squeeze some lime on it. But oh, is it ever good! Like, addictively good! There are two types of corn available - small kernels, and large ones. Go for the large ones... And yeah, you can add your choice of hot-sauces on display, and heat it up as you wish...

Well La Esquina Del Chilaquil was for sure one of those places. Super hyped-lots of social media videos on it and it's one of the "cheap eats" spots all the influencers say one must visit when going to Mexico City. It's so hyped that they sold out the first 2x the wife and I tried to go there. Somehow my angel of a wife agreed to try them for a third time and this time we were able to get our hands on some tortas. So basically what they are famous for is these viral breakfast type tortas that are filled with chilaquiles inside. What I didn't know until I got the sandwich in hand was that they also came with either a chicken cutlet or a pork cutlet. Because of a slight language barrier,I ended up after a short line ordering two of the tortas both with chicken cutlets. So it's basically,chicken cutlets,beans,crema,cheese and chilaquiles inside a torta sandwich roll. Pretty basic and inexpensive,only cost 50 Pesos($2.85 USD) each. Everything is to go,so we found a little park nearby to eat our sandwiches. Sadly,the tortas were just more disappointing than great.The chilaquiles lacked any crunch,the flavors were decent but maybe it was the unexpected chicken cutlet,not sure,it just wasn't a great dining experience overall. Reading other reviews,I see I'm in the minority on this one and maybe it was just an off day or maybe my expectations were too high but yeah they just didn't work out too well for me. I will say this,they sell out every single day,so if you do plan on going to try em out,try to get there before 11am to guarantee your torta. Here is to hoping your experience is better than mine-Be Safe Out There.

This is the best late-night food cart I found in Roma/Condessa! They're only open at…read more7:30pm-11:30pm, but there's always at least 6 people here, and sometimes as many as 15-20. You can order ahead by phone and pick up, which many people do. Tortillas, Quesadillas, Pambazos, Tostadas, Gorditas and Sopes are all made fresh only after you order, in distinction to most all of the street stands I've seen. There's a whole range of toppings (see menu pic), even Huitlacoche, and everything I had there (4 meals over two weeks) was fantastic. The salsa verde was incredible - people would regularly request extra bags of it to take home. Prices were ridiculous- everything on the menu is like $1 or so. I just picked up two gorditas (chicken and steak), a chicken tostada, and three quesadillas (mole, huitlacoche and chorizo) and the total price was 95 pesos, or 2/3 of what one cocktail cost me the night before in Roma. The only downside is if you don't order ahead, and there's a line, you'll have to wait 5-10min, but that's just because everything is made to order. If you're in the neighborhood, check this place out. It wasn't only any guides until I added it, and 95% of the customers seem to be locals from the neighborhood, catching a quick and good dinner after work.

The first meal of the trip is the most important. It sets the tone. The trip goes how that first meal goes, and I'd gotten so many passionate recommendations for El Turix, it became the obvious choice. I called the uber straight to the promised land, and hopped out with my luggage, into a run down, no frills interior. Just how I like it. I wish the written word could do any justice to how it smelled in here, but I won't even try. I can only imagine it is what a teenage girl feels when she walks into a Sephora. I ordered 4 cochinita pibil tacos, which is the only thing on the menu. Cochinita Pibil is a traditional Mexican dish that is slow roasted pulled pork. They pull the tortillas off the griddle and put them into this enormous pan of the pibil to give them a little bit of the juice and glisten from the pork juice. They then STUFF each taco, roll them up, and hand them to you on a plastic plate. I topped them off with the salsa verde and dug into them right outside. These babies actually exceeded my expectations. I was FLOATIN. Pork juice leaking out on every bite with flavor that can only be obtained through that traditional slow roast. It truly set the tone for the rest of the trip. This is the kind of simple, well executed meal that makes me grateful to be alive. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

I placed an order for their birria tacos, and it was served with consome. (3 tacos + consome - $65 MXN - $3.70) - The taco meat felt more like ground beef and had an extremely high fat content. It was probably 70% beef /30% fat. This is not how birria is supposed to be. I was so disappointed. While the service was friendly, this had to be the worst "birria" I have tried. Yes, it was tender, but it seemed like they just stir fried a bit of ground beef and seasoned it.
