Los esquites estilo DF son una delicia inigualable. Preparados con elote tierno y sazonados con epazote y pericón, ofrecen un sabor auténtico. La adición de cebollín aporta frescura, mientras que las mollejas, pescuecitos y patitas de pollo enriquecen la textura. Con salsa y un toque de chile en polvo, cada bocado es una explosión de sabores. ¡Imperdibles!

Los sabores son impresionantes. Me encantó! Era como regresar a uno de los changarritos del DF. Y todo está delicioso y los muchachos muy amables. Que chido. Definitivamente volveré por mis esquites con patitas

This elote and weird meats is nothing I've had before, but for some reason, it's like something I've had all my life. Definitely something to try. Its different but so worth the try. I recommend the sweet corn with chicken feet and chicken hearts/ gizzards.
