Fonda Tipica la Poblana cooks mole poblano and chalupas on 8 Norte in Puebla, a plain fonda that opens at half past eight and runs until eight at night.
Signature: Mole poblano, Chalupas
Order: Mole poblano at about 150 pesos, served with rice and tortillas.
Tip: This is a plain fonda rather than a restaurant, so come at lunch when the mole has been on the heat for a few hours.
Clementina Cocina Poblana keeps a short mole and pipian list on 6 Oriente in Puebla, a daytime kitchen a block from the Calle de los Dulces.
Signature: Mole poblano, Pipián
Order: A mole plate between 139 and 195 pesos, the cheapest sit-down mole nearby.
Tip: It sits one block from the Calle de los Dulces, so finish lunch here and walk straight into the camote shops.
La Ververa cooks chalupas, memelas and mole poblano at neighbourhood prices in Arboledas de Guadalupe, Puebla, on Saturdays and Sundays only.
Signature: Chalupas, Mole poblano
Order: Chalupas, then a mole plate that lands under 100 pesos.
Tip: Arboledas de Guadalupe is residential rather than touristy, and the kitchen only opens on Saturday and Sunday, nine until six.
Antojitos Tomy on 5 Poniente is where Puebla eats cemita poblana, chanclas and chalupas at one counter, from nine in the morning until nine at night.
Signature: Cemita poblana, Chanclas, Chalupas
Order: One cemita poblana and one order of chanclas, split between two people.
Tip: Chanclas here run about 55 pesos and are milder than the version at Comal, which drowns them in more guajillo.
Antojitos Acapulco is a narrow 5 Poniente counter in Puebla frying molotes and pelonas, plus tacos de canasta, from mid-morning until eleven at night.
Signature: Molotes, Pelonas, Tacos de canasta
Order: Molotes with tinga, and a pelona while you wait for them to fry.
Tip: Pelonas here cost around 30 pesos and are fried to order, so expect a short wait at the counter rather than a rack of them.
Don Pastor works two spits on 16 de Septiembre in Puebla, al pastor and arabe, alongside alambres, cemitas and a queso fundido, running until half eleven.
Signature: Tacos al pastor, Tacos árabes, Queso fundido pastor
Order: One al pastor and one arabe, side by side, to taste the difference.
Tip: Six salsas sit on the counter and the two spits run until 23:30, which makes this the easiest late taco stop on 16 de Septiembre.
