Quesadillas Lucha — Restaurant in Mexico City

Quesadillas with huitlacoche are delicious (don't google what it is).

Not my traditional breakfast option, but who can refuse an invitation to have quesadillas at any hour of the day? The place is popular. We came relatively early and were seated right away. However, when we were leaving, there was a big hungry crowd. I chose brain and carne for my quesadillas. My Mexican companion suggested I try huitlacoche too (lack corn, according to him). Recently I've found out it is actually a fungus. However, I can't deny how tasty it is. But there is a chance I wouldn't order it if it wasn't for a translation error.

There is nothing like experiencing a "mercado" in Mexico. The aromas, selection, and flavours are unique! In Coyoacan, a beautiful neighborhood in the south of Mexico City, the market there is rich in the variety of food. We stopped at Quesadillas Lucha after a local recommended the place.

It can get very busy there, particularly on weekends, so be ready to wait for a spot. It will be...

This is my fourth time here. If you want a real feel of Coyoacan, try to find Quesadillas Lucha. Keep going way back deep into the Mercado. It is a family restaurant that has been around for decades. My friends came here when they were kids. I like the fried items, but they have healthier vegetarian options. The quesadillas are really tasty. I get them deep fried, but they have pan fried as well. Just around the corner inside the Mercado you can get high-quality fresh juices. The atmosphere is alive with lots...
