Where have you found the best food stalls?

The best tacos in the world are found in Tijuana, Mexico. No two are the same and too cheap for fat guys like me to resist.

New Orleans: Yaka mein (if by "stalls" you mean "backs of pick-up trucks")

Monterrey (Mexico) has these awesome street carts where you can get all manner of greasy, fried tacos, including one of my favorites, POTATO tacos. Mashed potato fried lightly then stuffed into a corn tortilla that is also fried. Ooh, heart attack cuisine at its finest.

Over here, I like that the El Paraiso guys do their pushcart thing throughout neighborhoods near the central portion of the city. They serve up all manner of icy, fruity treats on a stick -- they're sorta like those Dole fruit ice bar type things but more "real fruit" tasting instead of "fruit juice" tasting.

Not the ones I tried. I have had a lot of satay and the ones from the carts I tried were pretty good. Try the ones where people are squatting around the fire pits which are about a foot off of the ground.

Is that at Alexanderplatz? I saw one of those guys and he grinned at me, and I wanted one, but I was too freaked out by the whole deal.

Don't their nuts get over-warm?

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 23 May 2005 21:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Looks like it could be Alexanderplatz (the tram lines to the right). I didn't take the picture alas.

Michael--I was thinking about their backs really! They have a little stand they can rest the grill on though.

NY nuts are rancid street-pestilence

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 00:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I love the SMELL of NY roast nuts, but when I first came to the city I was permanently put off. Entranced by the delicious coconut and honey aroma, I wandered straight over to a street vendor fully intending to buy a bag, when a pigeon alit on the nut mound and began indolently picking through with its beak, presumably searching for choice tidbits. The vendor, noting this development, shooed the pigeon off with a fork, TOOK A SCOOP OF THE PIGEON INFESTED NUTS AND PUT THEM IN A SACK, then gave me a "Can I help you?" look.
I started backing away and haven't yet stopped.

You are wrong.

― lucas (lucas), Tuesday, 24 May 2005 02:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I overcame my lifetime hesitation about random street-foods today and had a hot dog off the street in Queens. It was $1.25 and tasted like a hot dog and I didn't die or obssess too much about that one New Yorker article about the rat-infested street-vendor storage spaces. Tomorrow: two dollar souvlaki!
