I had never heard of a Marquesita before until we came upon the food cart located in the Parque de…read morelas Palapas. We were looking to try out some traditional desserts that we had never experienced before. Of the many food carts parked side by side, this one seemed to attract our attention the most. We stood by and watched how the Marquesita is made. Batter is added to a crepe pan and cooked made to order. A variety of fillings were available to choose from, but we asked for their most popular food item. Apparently shredded cheese and nutella is a favorite choice of the locals. Joe K and I shared this unusual dessert combo, and the blend was better than I expected. I wasn't quite sure at first if I would like cheese and chocolate together, but it turned out pretty tasty after all. It was a nice ending to our all day food truck food binge at the park!

I really could not have been more delighted to try marquesitas! And it only becomes more delicious…read moreas a midnight munchie after a few drinks. So, being the first English language reviewer on the page, let me explain what this is. Marquesitas are pastries, to go pastries to be exact, rolled into some sort of a fried crispy tortilla, with cheese and a dash of nutella. Granted, there are a few variations, but the one I got appeared to be the most common. The flavor combo is amazing and it's a true street food dessert that you cannot miss while traveling! The truck stays open late, I came close to 11pm. Sometimes the most unexpected combinations get you, so you if you are a mildly adventurous eater, make sure to give this a try!

So this is about as authentic of a spot that you'll find in the hotel zone of Cancun. Let me give…read moreyou a few insights on this place. It's street food style drinks and they don't have everything on the menu everyday. This is what you should do: ask what's in season. They'll let you know and you are sure to get a very tasty drink this way. Having every fruit available every day of the year is a very first world privilege. On my stop I had the melon agua natural and it was fantastic. I'm not even a melon fan and I ordered another. Prepare to wait a bit for service and you'll get a very tasty drink. Enjoy! ¡Provecho!

***CASH ONLY*** This…read morestreet was full of hidden gems (tacos, quesadillas, tortas, etc.)! Since I was in Cancun, I was excited to finally have some quesadillas. There's a good mix of locals and (some rude/drunk?) tourists here so you know this is the spot. Each quesadilla is less than $1 USD and there's a ton of fillings to choose from. I didn't figure out that one of the menus on the wall had English translations until after I ordered so definitely look out for that if you need help. I ordered 2 quesadillas - one with chorizo with potatoes and the other with chicken tinga. Every order is made fresh and the corn tortillas are rolled and made from scratch. Overall, I wasn't too impressed because the fillings were just all right and I personally like my quesadillas a lot crispier on the outside. My friends liked the regular chorizo filling the most so I wished I ordered that instead.

Quesadillas for less than $1?! Yes, please!…read more We came here a couple times, and got the chorizo and papas y chorizo. There's no extra charge for more fillings, either. I loved watching them make everything in front of us-the food came out super hot and it was delicious! It's toward the edge of the strip and looked like just the locals were eating here, so it wasn't crowded at all, btw.
