Recipes for favorite Mexican food, as sold by street vendors...

Mexican "street food" is Mexico's version of fast food, that is sold on the streets of every village, town and city by vendors preparing, cooking and selling their wares from push-carts, bicycles, traliers and small taquerias. Tacos, tortas, hot dogs, burritos and quesadillas are the most common, but you'll find many other delights as well, sold on the streets of every Mexican town.
