Tacos de canasta (basket tacos, Mexico City)
Mexico City — associated with the Estado de México corridor vendors; pre-dawn street food tradition
Tacos de canasta (basket tacos) are Mexico City's street taco tradition — pre-assembled tacos kept warm in a cloth-lined wicker basket for several hours before selling. The warmth and steam from the basket creates a distinctive soft, slightly damp texture in both the tortilla and filling. Fillings are simple: bean (frijol), potato-chorizo (papa con chorizo), chicharrón, or chicken tinga. Sold by bicycle vendors from as early as 5am to commuters. The steaming technique is integral to the product.
