MEXICAN ANTOJITOS / CENTRO

More than tacos.
Antojitos El Gordo.

Three corn bases, a pile of toppings—and a menu that starts at 30 pesos. Art’s latest stop brings salbutes, panuchos, tostadas and empanadas into the picture on Avenida 20 Sur.

A red table.
A different kind of bite.

Art’s photos show three corn-based antojitos covered with shredded meat, pink onion, tomato and avocado. Close-ups show the different bases and a layer of beans; the exact three-item order was not recorded, so the photo captions describe what is visible.

The board gives plenty of ways to explore beyond tacos: tostadas, salbutes, panuchos and empanadas are 30 MXN each; sopes and quesadillas are 35 MXN. Tortas start at 60 MXN, with the mixed version listed at 70 MXN. Choose from each dish’s own filling list below.

Find the small restaurant and its red-canopy seating on Avenida 20 Sur, between Avenida Juárez and Calle 1 Sur. This is a daytime stop: the photographed sign lists weekday and Saturday hours separately.
