Scenes from our recent Thursday routine: Tianguis Napoles

We have known about the tianguis Napoles (lo de jueves, que es distinto de lo de los domingos) for about 9 years. And we have lived within a 12-minute walk from them for almost 3 years now. But only in maybe the past 3 months have we actually started taking advantage of their proximity. (You can find them on along the southern, eastern, and northern edges of this park.)

My work schedule leaves me with Thursdays open. And Thursday is currently the day when Judy is free from her various racket sport commitments. So we have started combining a quick shop for fruit and veg with a casual lunch.

First stop is for the aguas de sabores. Alfalfa has been a revelation (tastes like an agua version of jugo verde). And limón y chia is a great standby option.

Then it's quesadillas. Usually pollo c/ queso but sometimes picadillo. All in it's $50 MXN for for the aguas, and the quesadillas are $23 c/u, so $142 MXN for a tasty lunch. Nada mal.

And on the way home we pick up a bola chica de queso Oaxaca from the Productos Oaxaqueños truck that is always on the corner of Patricio Sanz and Torres Adalid.
