A
must
visit
for
lamb
barbacoa
if
you
happen
to
be
in
Texcoco
(or
if
you're
in
Mexico
City
or
Puebla
and
have
the
time
and
inclination
for
the
drive
/
Uber
trip,
it's
really
worth
it).
If
you're
tourists
like
us,
you've
probably
seen
the
videos
on
YouTube.
Believe
the
hype!
Sunday
is
supposedly
the
day
to
go
but
we
visit
on
Saturday
arriving
at
about
11am.
We
were
able
to
find
a
table
with
relative
ease.
You
have
to
buy
everything
individually
(we
already
brought
paper
plates
and
napkins)
so
my
tip
is
to
get
all
your
other
bits
before
you
get
the
lamb
do
it
doesn't
go
cold.
We
bought
2
salsas,
2
small
bags
of
onions
and
coriander,
a
portion
of
corn
tortillas
(received
12)
and
cutlery
from
the
other
traders
that
are
easy
to
find.
As
for
the
barbacoa...
wow.
We
had
a
kilo
of
boneless
meat
("sin
huesos")
which
cost
538
pesos
(about
£25
or
$30
US
at
the
time
of
writing)
and
they
take
cards.
I
believe
you
can
order
it
by
the
quarter
of
a
kilo
as
they
weigh
it
and
the
local
in
front
of
us
got
3/4
of
a
kilo.
There
was
a
small
line
of
people
which
moved
quite
quickly.
You
get
in
the
line
to
the
left
hand
corner
of
where
the
barbacoa
pits
are
to
pay
first,
you'll
get
a
ticket
and
then
line
up
to
collect
your
meat.
We
asked
for
it
"sin
pancita"
or
"without
stomach"
as
we
weren't
brave
enough
to
try
that.
You'll
essentially
get
lamb
leg
and
shoulder
in
chunks
that
fall
apart/shred
with
minimal
effort.
We
weren't
fans
of
the
consommé,
as
you're
essentially
drinking
lamb
stock
with
bits
of
onion
and
pepper
floating
about.
The
gent
serving
also
gives
you
a
sample
of
the
meat
with
a
bit
of
salt
when
packaging
it
for
you.
It
doesn't
need
the
salt,
the
meat
is
truly
phenomenal
and
you'll
most
likely
add
salsa
when
you
construct
it.
We
finished
the
final
few
bites
of
lamb
on
their
own.
The
kilo
of
barbacoa
and
12
tacos
from
the
nearby
stand
was
enough
for
3
hungry
guys.
If
you
have
room
for
anything
else,
the
place
has
other
meats
and
traditional
Mexican
foods.
There
are
a
few
desert
stands
and
some
stands
selling
Piña
Colada,
which
we
annoyingly
missed
as
we
were
too
focused
on
the
barbacoa.
Other
than
that
there
are
mariachis
wondering
about
if
you
want
to
pay
for
some
songs
while
you
eat,
there
is
some
entertainment
for
children
and
a
parking
lot
if
you're
driving.
All
in
all,
this
is
a
must
visit
if
you
love
lamb
barbacoa.
