6 Foods You MUST Eat in Mexico City / Yummy CDMX Street Food

In today's Mexico City travel vlog, I tell you the 6 foods you must eat in Mexico City. You must try Al Pastor Tacos, Churros, Mango con Chile y Limon, Nopales, Chilaquiles, and Pambazos.

In my opinion these are the best street food to eat and some of the best Mexican food. Here are the foods I recommend:

Al Pastor Tacos

Im sure you’ve had tacos before but one of the most traditional Mexican styles is: Taco Al Pastor. The pork is marinated for days and then spit-roasted, shawarma style. Add some pineapple, onion, cilantro, chili and some lime juice and you have a favor explosion in your mouth! They also make a chicken version of Al Pastor if pork isn’t your thing.

Churros

While this may not have originated in Mexico — Mexican Churros are so freaking yummy, I had to include them on this list. Churros are deep fried and dipped in sugar and cinnamon. You can add a dipping sauce like chocolate, caramel or condensed milk — to make them even more yummy!

Mango con Chile y Limon (Mango with chili powder and lime)

You’ll find a lot of street vendors selling Mango with a red seasoning on top. Stop and try!! While you might not think that mango, chili powder and lime would go good together, they do! Do not to skip a single ingredient as their flavors blend in perfect harmony.

Nopales (cactus)

While these aren’t as delicious as the other items on this list…..I think you should probably still try this traditional Mexican dish. Nopales are cactus leaves. The cactus leaves contain a lot of water and are also very rich in vitamins and minerals. They are usually cooked and then used in salsas and sometimes used to make a low calorie tortilla alternative. I tried them plain and while they aren’t my favorite - they weren’t too terrible. I’d give them a try and see how you like them.

Chilaquiles

Next on the list is the most iconic breakfast you can get in Mexico City: Chilaquiles. Chilaquiles are warm corn tortilla chips smothered in eggs, sauce, and cheese. This is one of my favorite dishes!

Pambazos

Pambazos are sandwiches made with potatoes and chorizo that are dipped in red pepper sauce and then fried. I know, I know…that sounds a bit odd but I promise you they are delicious! These have become my most favorite lunch dish here in Mexico City — even over al pastor tacos!!! By the way, the Pambazo I ate in this video was only 20 pesos or $1!!! There is cheap food in Mexico City.

Those are my recommendations. Most of the are Mexico City street food items that you can find at most street food vendor areas. Trying Mexico City street food should be on every list things to do in Mexico City, especially if you enjoy food travel.

Definitely all good choices when it comes to eats. Love tacos al pastor in CDMX. We had a great time in CDMX recently trying some of the best street food places around Mexico City. Didn't try the cactus tacos. Maybe next time. Mango con Chile is amazing. Great tips Kevin and video.

Thanks for this video. I hope you give these type of food recommendations for all the places you have yet to visit. I don't really care for hot spiced food, so is it possible to get some of the dishes you presented without the hot spice? I love Tacos in the hard shell( my favorite kind) but of course they aren't coming from Mexico! Thanks again for sharing this with us all.

Double-thumbs up to Al Pastor Tacos! And now I'm on a mission to find Pambazos....at 0730. 😆

You’re not alone Sir, I also prefer pambazos over tacos.

I love scrambled eggs with nopales for breakfast too. I agree, roasted nopales are too bland, but mixed with other stuff they’re great, and pretty nutritious too: they’re packed with fiber and vitamins.

One snack you missed are “esquites”, cooked white corn served in a cup, with lime, chili powder, and some people like them with mayo and great, now my mouth is watering. 🤤

Hey Kevin, as Mexican I can tell you did an excellent job describing street mexican food! BTW you may want to check out Lawyer tacos! documented by Peluche Torres in La Garnacha que Apapacha. Mexican food varies from region to region. The dish from my home town is called Cabrito al Pastor, if you are planning to visit Monterrey anytime in the future, I can give you advice on where is best served! Enjoy life, keep smiling! - Elvi

I had three girls once and I loved it with the chocolate with the cinnamon sugar and chocolate that was about 2 weeks ago here where I live in El Paso Texas

I watched this over a lunch of saag paneer and naan hahaha! I’ve had all those foods, except the sandwich, but in Chicago, not Mexico. The sandwich seems like a fried torta. Anyone interested in Mexican cuisine should check out Chef Rick Bayless’s PBS series “Mexico: one plate at a time.” 🌮
