Jenni’s street stand in Roma Norte serves fresh, affordable blue corn quesadillas with diverse fillings—from squash blossom to chicken tinga—in a lively, no-frills vibe.
"Tlacoyos are one star among the delightful constellation of dishes from the Mexican milpa. Street stands prepare the thick, ovoid patties with blue or white corn masa and fillings like fava or black bean paste, then top them with salsa, chopped onion, cilantro, and cactus salad. Near Roma Norte, Jenni’s is a popular stand located on the corner of Colima and Merida streets, where the tlacoyos are formed from blue masa. Order yours without the usual sprinkled white cheese." - Natalia de la Rosa
"Jenny’s Quesadillas, a well-known stand in Roma Norte, is a great spot to find savory, toasted quesadillas for breakfast."
"When it comes to eating street food in Mexico City, the question isn’t which spots are the best, it’s how many free months you have to dedicate to trying every cart you walk past. But if you’re looking for a starting point, go to Jenni’s. The tiny stand at the corner of Colima and Merida in Roma Norte is grilling quesadillas that’ll make you sit on the sidewalk, close your eyes, and allow your body to remember what it feels like to be this happy. You get to choose your own filling based on the fresh ingredients that Jenni has available that day, but don’t get too stressed if you can’t decide what you want. Everything is delicious and it’s the blue jean-colored corn tortilla that brings everything together. Quesadillas run about seven pesos apiece." - Brant Cox
"No name, no sign, but a beloved following, Jenni has been holding down this street corner in Roma Norte for years. Jenni’s quesadillas, sopes, gorditas, and pambazos stand out for their denim-blue corn and lots of vegan/vegetarian fillings. Post up, wait for your moment, and ask for a quesadilla de quelites con requeson (wild greens with ricotta) orflor de calabaza con queso(squash blossoms with oaxacan cheese) or setas (wood ear mushrooms, no cheese). Dab on the salsa and pay after you’ve finished inhaling.Northwest corner of Merida/Colima." - ByScarlett Lindeman
