Street Carts at Benito Juarez – QRoo

One can’t live on tamales alone, you also needs tacos, empanadas, and orange juice. No fear, the carts on Benito Juarez have that as well. In the mornings, Benito Juarez between 5th Avenue and the beach is lined with carts ready to serve hungry tourists and locals who work in the area. It’s a wonderful little spot, where a very good breakfast can be had for just a few dollars. MORE »

Tamales & Elote – QRoo
After five fun food-filled days in Cancun, David and I headed off to Playa del Carmen on the search for more fun and food. I’m happy to report, both were found. Playa del Carmen, a small resort town on the Mayan Riviera, is very different to Cancun in that it’s very walkable. The main street — Quinta Avenida or 5th Avenue — is pedestrian-only as is Benito Juarez east of 5th Avenue. The great thing about that, besides the convenience of course, is that it make it perfect for food vendors. On 5th Avenue it’s mostly restaurants with a fresh juice cart early in the morning, but on the corner of Benito Juarez and 5th Avenue, it’s street eats galore! In the morning there are taco and empanada carts, and in the afternoon there are tamal, taco, and churro carts. All were good, but one of my favorites (and David’s ultimate favorite) was the tamal cart which had the best tamales I’ve ever eaten. MORE »
