If youre visiting, get away from the tourist shops. This is true when you're visiting anywhere. Don't eat the food made for tourists.

Ask a local, find some place that has a dude selling burritos out of an unmarked doorway counter. If you see an old mexican lady wandering around with a ice chest behind her, shes selling homemade tamales, get that shit.

Food near tourist areas is made bland af to appeal the widest visiting audience.
