With Cinco de Mayo, the first of Mexico's two independence days,
coming up Monday, I have vowed to return soon and plunge into some of
the best street food in the world.
"The best Mexican food is the food of the people, and that's the stuff
that you find on the street and in the markets," says Jose Iturriaga,
a historian who has written more than 20 books about Mexican cuisine.
"There are no concessions in these stalls to gastronomical fa****on.
These are time-tested recipes."
Guillermo Valadez, a manager at Nuevo Vallarta restaurant in Grand
Blanc who is from the state of Jalisco, says I should start with tacos
al pastor.
"Tacos al pastor are like the Greek meat for gyro sandwiches," Valadez
said. "Filets of ****k are marinated and stacked on a spit and
grilled."
