Mexico City's food culture lives and breathes in the streets, 24 hours a day, non-stop, all year long. Considered one of the most densely populated cities in the world and the largest in North America, Mexico City relies on street food vendors to feed millions of people every day. Chilangos – as we, CDMX locals, are referred to – have an intense life-long romance with street food. It is visceral; it is emotional and often irrational. We argue about where to find the best tamal and what day of the week is best to visit. We go on and on about who is who in the suadero (brisket) lore, and we share intel about which stand has the spiciest salsas. We generally agree that the best taco is the one closest to our house.
Since the release of the first season of Netflix's Taco Chronicles series in 2019, street food in Mexico City has become an obsession for international travelers as well. The latest news over the summer of 2024 was that, for the first time, a taco stand was rewarded with a coveted Michelin star.
Hype and trend-chasing aside, it is important to note that street food in Mexico City is essential to the way chilangos live and eat every day. According to a recent study published in the Royal Geographical Society, street vendors who prepare food in Mexico City are part of a sustainable food system, bringing diverse and affordable food options to a large population that often has limited access to good and nutritious food because of lack of economic means or geography. According to data from the Secretary of Economy of Mexico, Mexico City's has around 59,904 units devoted to food services, with 82% of those in the informal sector, placing street food stands as a significant economic force for thousands of local families.
The fact that food is prepared or served in the streets of Mexico City does not mean that is not safe to eat. As a local standard and practice, most stands use bottled water from 20 liter jugs to prepare food. It is a good idea to check the level of cleanliness of the stand, which would give you a better understanding of their food management practices.
It is not them, it is most likely you. Your gut health has everything to do with how your organism reacts to foreign microorganisms and bacteria. A balanced gut microbiota gives you a better chance of resisting diarrhea-causing pathogens.
If you can't be flexible with your dietary restrictions, stay away. Street food culture at large will not cater to specific dietary restrictions and allergies. Veggies are likely cooked with lard or on the same surface as meats. There is a strong possibility of cross-contamination of surfaces. Eating from street stands in Mexico City requires flexibility.
