Sweaty basket tacos off the back of a bicycle.
Tacos de canasta are filled at dawn, stacked in a cloth-lined basket and steamed by their own heat. By the time they reach the plaza they are soft, oily and perfect.
Five pesos of joy each. Top with the thin green guacamole salsa and pickled chiles from the jar.
