Just a block off the Zocalo, the central plaza, I stumbled upon Tacos de Canasta El Flaco. By every sense of the term, this is a 10 X 5 hole-in-the-wall place serving up some tasty tacos canasta. These are also know as sweaty tacos or basket tacos since they are steamed. About six varieties are offered along with soft drinks. As these are made in advance, a large crowd can be served in no time at all.

| Tacos de Canasta El Flaco |
When researching this type of taco, I found a great article in Street Food LA that gives a great review of El Flaco along with more photos. Since that article was published three years ago, I see that the price of tacos canasta has only changed 1 peso. They're now 8 cents more expensive.
I had a mashed potato or "papas" taco tonight along with lots of spicy pickled carrots. Check out the sweaty tacos in the Street Food LA link above. Judging by the size of the crowd eating these on the street tonight, this is one heck of a popular place. For just 50 cents, who can't find room for one more taco.
