Some local vendors will pop up, including the tamale lady for and for 20 pesos you could have the most amazing tamales Verdes (green) or tamales Rojas (red) which are both equally delicious… 🤤..
Very popular at night with car and pedestrian activity and locals hanging out on the plaza. It’s just relax after their days. ..
