Marquesitas
Playa Norte
Isla Mujeres
What do you get when you cross a crepe with a waffle cone? – Marquesitas, the sweet Yucatecan street food. The vendor pours sweet batter onto a hot, cast-iron griddle and gives it a quick, waffle-iron-like press to create a fragrant, golden wafer. While the crepe is still soft, the treat is spread with your choice of filling, from the traditional, shredded “bola de queso” (Edam cheese) with “cajeta” (goat’s milk caramel) to Nutella with bananas. The hot treat is deftly folded into quarters, given a quick press on the griddle and then handed to you in a wrapper, in all its hot, gooey, sweet crispy wafer deliciousness.
