Also popular is rabbit in mixiote, as well as sopa de médula, consisting of a soup made with marrow, tomatoes, chipotle chilies, and garlic; and pambazos, consisting on bread soaked with guajillo chili sauce, stuffed with a mixture of potatoes with chorizo, served with lettuce, cheese, and sour cream.
If you like strong flavors, to accompany any of these delicacies you can try pulque, an excellent choice for a drink. There is also the garapiña helada, a refreshing local drink that has been made for more than 70 years with fermented pineapple; and the famous mosquito, a drink made with fermented orange.
To sweeten the palate, nothing like the delicious dulce de calabaza, pumpkin sweet; the exquisite alfeñique, prepared with sugar, egg whites, and lemon; coconut-stuffed lemons; pulque bread; or cabello de ángel, a sweet paste made of boiled pumpkin with sugar, which also can be used to prepared other delicious desserts.
You can try these delicious flavors at Plaza Fray Andres de Castro. Its corridors house 49 alacenas, small establishments lined on the walkway, where the aromas of garapiña, tortas de chorizo, “bombas”, milanesa, regional sweets, and all types or tacos blend together.
