The key is to move away from the hotel zone of Cancun to the central city, where the locals reside. My first stop was at the Palapas Park, a place of street food stalls where you can find two very tasty dishes
a representative of this area, the “esquites” and the “marquesitas”.
Throughout the park, you can find more than a dozen places to choose an economical price and a very good taste.
The esquites are fresh corn kernels, boiled with beef bones which, when served, mayonnaise and cheese are added as a base, after that you will have many options to make your perfect combination, most
of them, spicy sauces prepared by hand. The price, approximately $ 1.5 per glass.
Then we arrive at the dessert, the marquesitas. It is a bit difficult to describe this sweet dish, they are made with a flour base very similar to crepes, but at the time of their preparation they are put on a hot plate and they got their crispy, then we added toppings of a thousand flavors, from Philadelphia cheese to Nutella, the art is to follow the recommendations of the places to get a perfect combination between sweet and savory.
Approximate price $ 3.
You risk trying local dishes on the street, your instinct and vision will be your best ally to decide which of the positions considered “safe” to eat, good luck!
