A little jaunt in Fiesta Plaza
I started with some flautas at Tropical (a trio of counters with ice cream to homemade tacos). The flautas were fricking gorgeous. They made the tortillas from scratch and the fried them to order. The chicken was on the dark side, but the tangy crema mexicana and queso fresco cut the flavors well. I wish we had not had a taco de carnitas just moments before. I wanted to nibble on the crackly flautas and watch the fresh-faced kid hand-crank the ice cream. Worth going back for.

Marajef Candy Store-the Guillermo Wonka of Fiesta Plaza. I bought a good amount of candy like chiclets, tamarindo lollies, really horribly bad for me and totally over-processed Skwinkles enchilados, and some coconut candies.
Now, I remember where I formed my deep and abiding love for donuts. This churro was the best I have had in years–perfect crunch from the sugar and well-fried churros. I love that rush of air that fills your mouth when you bite into a churro that is made well.
Snow cone stand with toppings like Tamarindo and pineapple with chile. They also have milk-based toppings as well. Think of them as a paleta A la minute.
La Suprema–I am totally getting my birthday cake from here this year.
