Good snack if you have a sweet tooth! Last meal in San Cristobal Meson del Taco Caldero Gorditas de nata (cream) and condensed milk. ❤ In Chiapa de Corzo Best meal for a cold day when you’re feeling sniffly – chicken soup for the traveler’s soul. Still tasty! Quiero Verde MEAT ON A STICK! My fav fav fav thing. Quiero Verde Arroz Bombay – it was supposed to be a vegetarian curry of some sort, but ended up being more like a soup. Vegan nachos (We decided to give our bodies a break from all the meat). Vu Hostal / Restaurant This is what Mexican nachos actually look like. Brasilero Sincronizadas – Similar to a quesadilla, but with ham and cheese. Gordita (blue and yellow corn tortilla pancake) stuffed with cochinita pibil (slow roasted pork) Cochinita Pibilīlue cheese burger on beet bun (pink) and jalapeno burger on charcoal bun (black), both made with smoked meat and served with homemade chips. Delightful tacos with consome (a wonderful broth) – perfect for the cold evenings. La La Huaraches mixtos – a longish tortilla base topped with chorizo, al pastor, mushrooms, nopales and a buttload of cheese. Souffle with chorizo, croissant, pan de chocolate, freeshly squeezed OJ and coffee (not pictured). Our first meal – already off to a good start. Every day was another food adventure and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there even though it was bloody cold (by my standards). So, San Cristobal de Las Casas is, to me, the hands-down winner in terms of food. de Agua Azul An assortment of tacos – chicken, pork, beef, al pastor and nopales (local cactus). Pretty sure I ate 10 empanadas that day, all by my self. Nachos topped with tomato salsa, cheese, cream and D’Bety Empanadas! 5 x 20 pesos (Slightly over 1USD) Freshly handmade and fried. Interesting texture, like soy meat or tofu! Very enjoyable! Chilaquiles – basically nachos on steorids. Tacos filled with cow parts (parts of the head!) “Cabeza de res”. Palenque was next – the commonly preferred meat for tacos was cow-based, rather than pig-based. And at 10 x 100 pesos (just over 5USD), a Galeon Best freaking Tacos Al Pastor I’ve ever had – I swear, the trip to Campeche was worth it just for these tacos. Torta de relleno negro, and a tamal with…something?! We have no idea what the lady was saying and she couldn’t explain what it was so it remains a mystery tamal. We spent exactly one day in Campeche, just to break up the journey from Merida to Palenque. Tacos de relleno negro (turkey with a special black sauce made of chili peppers and various other spices) Salbute and Panucho (basically fried tacos) An Al Pastor man carving up delicious meat for our eating pleasure! Crunchy pig’s ear taco and chewy pig’s heart taco! Sopa de Lima (lime soup, not soup from Peru’s capital) – tasty, filling, hearty! Mercado Santiago

Next up, Merida! First meal in Merida was not tacos either, but absolutely delicious red and green chorizo, a delicious brocheta and an average salchicha. Palapitas Marquesita lady hard at work making something delicious – you’d think Nutella and cheese in a rolled up crepe wouldn’t be tasty, but you’d be wrong. Taco man with his wide array of toppings to add to your tacos – by far the most extensive display of toppings I’ve seen yet.

First stop, Cancun! First meal in Cancun – not tacos, but quesadillas with Huitlacoche (corn fungus) Quekas Our street taco man – so good we went back two nights in a row! Surtido and Al Pastor tacos 😛 Okay there are also gonna be pictures of (some) other incredible Mexican dishes I’ve had and loved. I have had some incredible Taco experiences here in Mexico, so much so that I felt it would be fitting to commemorate the gloriousness of TACOS with a special post.
