Today we are going to the middle of the country, direction la Marquesa... on the roadway México - Toluca !!!
Some people would say it's the week-end rendez-vous for the Chilangos (the nickname for Mexico City people) and that's why it doesn't worth it... I think the contrary. It has its good sides (food is excellent ) and its bad ones ( the landscape is denaturalized by the highway) but even though, I love the place...
Maybe because I'm a glutton and we can have delicious meals, or maybe because I like not going too far from Toluca to have a walk in the nature (I live in Toluca). It is also possible to ride a horse. And particularly I enjoy its western landscapes with the railways...
You can try a lot of different dishes, the classic quesadillas are delicious (tortillas bent in 2 pieces and filled with cheese and/or various ingredients)...my favorite is the one filled with Huitlacoche. For people who doesn't know it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_smut.
Best ever, the Maguey worms (Maguey is a cactus they use to do Mezcal, a strong alcohol), ants eggs (named escamoles), the chimicuiles (Maguey red worms)... Have a good meal !
