Tacos de canasta, tlacoyos, huaraches, and other dishes that don't make the usual lists.
Past the basics covered in Mexico City Food Staples, tacos al pastor, mole, quesadillas, and the rest, a second tier of dishes rarely makes it onto a first-timer’s list: tacos de canasta (“basket tacos,” steamed and sold off bicycles, usually the cheapest real meal in the city), tlacoyos, huaraches, esquites versus elote, and tamales de canasta for the same steamed-basket treatment in dessert form.
