Street Tacos. Your parents, your teachers, your guidebook, they all tell you not to eat them. But they are just so incredibly tasty. To some extent, those angels on your sholder telling you not to eat them have a good point. A lof of people get sick eating street food that was made with old meat, unpurified water, or simply made by a sick person. ¿But where is the fun in being cautious? I took the risk this weekend (several times actually). Who can really resist when they are just 4 pesos (just under 40 cents) a peice?Luckily, I haven´t gotten (relatively) sick yet. I like to pretend that I haven´t suffered yet because of the grill that these little delicious morsels are cooked on is so hot that it would kill anything that would kill me. Regardless, whats done is done, and probably will be done again. Pictured above is one of the many small street carts that line the enterance to the market in Pátzcuaro. The tacos come with many different meats including (pictured above) Chorizo (spicy sauage), bistec (steak), and cabeza (head-brains I think). I also tired pork al pastor, which is not shown. The tacos come with the potatoes, peppers and onions on the side, as well as lime salsas, guacamole, and beans to put on the tacos. The jalapeños were so spicy that one girl we were with claimed to have a religious experience upon tasting them. So dig in and just pray that you do not get sick!
