Hay muchos locales para comer, desayunar e incluso hay algunos para cenar. En general he entrado a unos 6 o 7 locales diferentes y ninguno me ha decepcionado... Pero sin duda hay algunos que tienen mejor sazón que otros y algunas cosas saben mejor en otro local. No recomendaré alguno en especial porque en general saben rico y solo varía el precio y el sazón.

Muy rico y buen precio, trato amable y el servcio es rápido, solo las aguas de frutas hay que indicar de que tamaños tienen es decir hay de litro y medio litro, yo considero que un litro es mucho pero están riquísimas y bien te las pueden poner para llevar, los tarros son de barro y siempre se mantiene fresca y de buen sabor el agua, los demás platillos muy ricos, es un buen lugar para parar en carretera, el lugar muy limpio y con las medidas higiénicas pertinentes

Ok...I have not eaten on the side of the road in decades...but it was awesome. Great needles soup. (Heard it was a local favorite), cecina de res, and a beer. Oh...and two quesadillas... All was good. I couldn't eat all, but sharing was easy. I had my own alcohol spray, but they did a good job at keeping things clean.

Se come muy rico en los puestos que están aquí, recomiendo mucho la sopa de hongos, a veces un poco salada, pero muy rica, el chapurrado de lo mejor y también los tacos de cecina. Es una excelente opción en cuanto al costo y beneficio. Si hay mucha gente el servicio se vuelve muy lento. Una área de oportunidad son los baños, ya que no funcionan de manera óptima.

We stopped at Antojitos Ana Maria here. I got the quesadilla with cheese and flores, and one with cheese and papas. Both were great -- the freshness of the tortilla really made it. I could have eaten these all day.

Great chorizo Verde (Green chorizo), the best I've had in a long time. Great quesadillas, great consome. This is a must for anyone that's visiting Mexico City.
