Tacos – Almost deserving a section in their own right, tacos are one of the most popular, universally available, and delicious foods available in Mexico. Forget the Tex-Mex version with the hard shells stuffed with chili con carne and instead imagine small, soft tortillas a little bigger than your palm, filled with meat (chicken, pork, beef, and chorizo are most common) or fish and garnished with chopped onion, cilantro, lime, salsa or guacamole. The fillings and garnish will vary from one taco stall to the next, but what rarely differs is the amazing taste that will have you addicted to tacos in under a week. Try them “al pastor,” which uses meat cooked in the same way as kebabs on a large spinning skewer.

Huevos a la Mexicana is so called because it contains the colors of the Mexican flag: white onion, red tomato, and green hot pepper added to scrambled eggs. Usually served with more tortillas than you’ll ever humanly needs as well as refried beans, huevos a la Mexicana is a good, cheap, simple, and filling way to start the day.
Huevos rancheros have a fried tortilla base covered with a fried egg and tomato salsa, and is usually accompanied by refried beans, avocado, or guacamole. The dish is reputedly named after the dish served mid-morning on rural farms.
Huevos divorciados are literally divorced, two fried eggs are served separated by a wall of refried beans. One half is covered in red salsa, the other in green, and tortilla chips are often spiked into the beans.
Chilaquiles is my personal favorite. The traditional form involves corn tortillas cut into quarters and lightly fried before being added to red (or green) salsa. Often served with fried or scrambled eggs and topped with queso fresca (white shredded cheese), crema (sweet Mexican cream), and raw white onion rings, the dish is substantive. Replace the eggs with shredded chicken, and chilaquiles becomes a good meal to have at any time of the day.
Tamales are also a popular breakfast dish as well as all day snack. Served sweet or savory, tamales are typically made from masa (corn based dough) that is wrapped in a leaf and steamed. Tamales are filled with meat such as pork or chicken cooked in red or green salsa or mole (see below). Raisins, dried fruit or sugar are added to make sweet tamales. Small but filling, tamales are a delicious comfort food.
