Churro is one of the most popular local desserts in Mexico City. These sweet sticks made of fried dough are also very popular in Spain. In Mexico City, the popular dessert tastes a bit different. Local chefs cover Churros with a crispy layer of cinnamon and sugar. Contrary to many Spanish cities, the dessert is served not with hot chocolate but with cacao in Mexico City.
Foodies will enjoy their visit to Coyoacán Market where visitors can try and buy many popular local products and rare delicacies. There are also several food carts that sell sandwiches and other widespread types of “street” food. This is also a great place to try Elote, grilled corn. The process of cooking Elote is very interesting to watch. Once it is ready, Elote is served with cheese, lime juice or mayonnaise. Fans of spicy food will like corn with chili powder.
