Signature dishes: Mole poblano, Chalupas
Must 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.
Address: Calle 8 Norte 402, Centro histórico de Puebla, 72000 Puebla
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.
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.
