La Esquina Del Chilaquil

Hipódromo, Mexico City · Mexican · $$

Chilaquiles are Mexico City's edible proof that nothing gets wasted - stale tortillas fried crisp, then drowned in salsa roja or verde until they find a new life, somewhere between crunchy and tender. La Esquina del Chilaquil has been feeding Hipódromo since the early hours of the day, operating from a street corner with zero fanfare and a line that forms before 8am. Order the green with egg, accept the queue as part of the experience, and understand why this corner has regulars who've been coming for decades.
