Street food on the corner of Nemesio Diez and Ancha de San Antonio (opposite the arches of La Aldea). Go to the first stand and try the potato tacos - just delicious - especially with spicy sauce & fresh coriander washed down with freshly squeezed orange juice - get there early for the juice as it tends to run out.
