Gorditas Doña Consuelo

The 18 Best Restaurants in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico | Eater

"Since 1963, Gorditas Doña Consuelo has delighted locals with nixtamalized corn huaraches, gorditas, and atole (a thick, corn-based hot beverage). The secret behind the longevity and local preference is the cooking technique: Instead of a comal, the corn dough is carefully laid on charcoal embers. The result is quite delicious since each bite carries a charred character, and the gorditas arrive quite hot and tender at the center. The best-seller is the chicharron gordita topped with cactus, pot beans, fresh crumble cheese, and red habanero salsa. Don’t skip the cacao peel atole, prepared with cacao and sweetened with sugar cane." - Natalia de la Rosa
