Mexican street food is eaten standing, from corner taquerias to vast mercados. In Mexico City, El Huequito has slung tacos al pastor since 1959 and claims to have pioneered the style; Los Cocuyos downtown is prized for suadero and campechano, served until the small hours. Mercado de San Juan stocks gourmet and exotic bites. Beyond al pastor, graze on elotes, tamales, quesadillas and tacos de canasta, dressed with salsa, onion, cilantro and lime at the counter.

Tacos al pastor, elotes, tamales: Mexican street food is a popular art, eaten standing at markets and street corners.

Tacos al pastor descend from Lebanese shawarma, brought to Mexico by immigrants.
