Memelas de la Güera

Centro / Jalatlaco
4.6 / 5

The perfect balance of asiento and fresh quesillo. It's cleaner and more accessible than the Abastos market but just as delicious.

This is a temple to corn. The variety of heirloom maize used for the memelas provides a flavor profile that is nutty and complex.

The tasajo is perfectly salted and the memelas are huge. Great spot if you want a more comfortable sit-down experience near the center.
