Love affair with Tlacolula

It is always such a joy to visit Tlacolula. 

 It is a wonderful palette cleanser, an immersion into a rich stew of humanity in all its glory.

Sunday market is one of the the most popular and richest experiences, intense, at times, but fun.

The produce is always as good as one can find.

And some of the the very best street food anywhere.  These tacos and gorditas are from the stand right at the very beginning of the market. 

Under an orange canopy.  That's why the colors are off, but, oh my, the taste.  

The tacos are exceptional, but that gordita.... maybe the best street food combo, good fillings, deep fried in a patty of masa and then cut and filled with sour cream, lettuce and all the salsas and condiments you want.  So good!!  There was a time when I drove to Tlacolula six weeks in a row just to get a gordita.  True!  Just writing about it.....  I want one right now.....
