Carnival celebrations are heaven for food lovers as streets vendors bring out their favourite creations. Try out the ‘Aguas Frescas’ or fruit flavoured water, or the crowd loved chicken and cheese-filled rolls called pambazos.
Vegetable Delicacies
Have you ever had a cactus in your meal? Nopal is a flat-leaved cactus that is used as a versatile food item used in a variety of recipes. It is used in salads and tacos with eggs. If that isn’t your thing then you can also try out Chacales; a soup made with dried white corn.
Seafood Dishes
On certain days during Lent when people are forbidden from eating meat, fish soup is prepared. You can try out Pipian sauce covered on raw shrimp or even grab a bite of the dried shrimp patties made with a wild plant known as Romerito.
