Churros are an awesome snack, and people just love them anytime. The simple fried dough makes a great side of chocolate.

Whether it is the start of the year or mid-year, you must try this crispy snack.

Nieve de Garrafa

Nieve de Garrafa is a traditional delight, handcrafted with fresh ingredients, symbolising Mexican gastronomy.

How about a cheese pie? Dessert lovers must try Pay de queso, which is a smooth and creamy pie with a cookie crust. The version may seem like New York cheesecake, and can often be dense and heavy, and is delightfully soft. It is a great dessert option for any occasion, so remember to try this dessert on your next vacation in the city.

Los Alegrias

Yet another must-try dessert is Los Alegrias (or Amaranth Candies). The oblong or circular dessert is made of toasted amaranth seeds, honey, and sugar and has some flavourful add-ons of chocolate, nuts, and raisins. The treats come in various shapes and make a must-try dessert option, especially when celebrating the Day of the Dead.
