Street Meat in the Central Historical District!
This place…read moreis right around the corner from the Zocalo and the Templo Mayor. They offer tacos Al Trumpo- which means that the meat has been piled up on a spit, marinated in spice. They offer the tacos several different ways, with big pots full of toppings and sides - frioles, onions, jalapenos- whatever you want, no charge.
The prices were downright reasonable- we had about a dozen small tacos for less than $7. They offer sodas and bottled water.
The food was delicious, and the place was clean, the food served up quickly and hot. They have a griddle right there on the street that you can watch 'em grill up your order right before your eyes. The staff knew no English, but they strove to make sure there was enough food!
Watch out for the salsas- one of 'em might melt your face off!
Right next door is a place that sells cheap-o gifts, like fake Raybans and little books to learn the alphabet for kids.
