Mexico City's Street Tortas

[upbeat music]

So one of my favorite things about coming to Mexico

is the street food.

Look, check this out.

Okay.

So it's actually a tamale, inside a piece of French bread.

So this is basically morning street food.

These are called tortas de tamale in Mexico City.

[speaking in a foreign language]

in the state of Hidalgo.

It's pork and salsa verde which is pretty amazing,

I love that.

The masa is really fresh, it's really soft.

I mean, gosh, it's carb on carb on pork.

Amazing.

Gracias.

And this is a Mexico City equivalent

of bacon, egg, and cheese.

This is shoulder, chorizo, egg,

guacamole, nopales, queso, hamon,

basically on a kind of a soft French bread.

That's a good hangover cure.

Quick, easy, you can get them at any stall,

any time, day or night.

When I come to Mexico, that's all I wanna eat.

Just street food.

I think it's probably the best thing there is to eat.

Right now, I need to get some fruits into my body.

Gracias.
