  • Corn. Either on the cob or loose this is all different from the yellow corn you are used to. Mexican corn is white is not sweet, but has a delicious flavor of it's own. You can get it with a combination of the following ingredients: butter, cream, cheese, mayonnaise, lime, powder chili and salt. You can just ask for a recommendation to the seller.
  • Tamales. Stuffed corn bread, covered in corn leaves. A general advise about eating in the street in Mexico. If your stomach is too picky and you are afraid you may get sick then go for this safe thing. Tamales are cooked in steam for a long time and served to you inside a corn leave that covers the whole thing. Therefore, in practice, you receive an sterile product.
