El Charco de las Ranas

San José Insurgentes·$$

Quesadillas Variadas

MXN45.00

Choice of filled quesadillas with cheese, huitlacoche, or mushrooms.

Tip: The huitlacoche quesadilla is El Charco's best vegetarian option. It's earthy and satisfying — not a second-class substitute for meat.

La Casa de los Tacos

Quesadilla de Huitlacoche

MXN45.00

Corn fungus filling with cheese, onion in hand-pressed corn tortilla.

Tip: Ask if huitlacoche is available — it's seasonal (July-September). If yes, order it. This is the restaurant's most interesting item.

Bósforo

Centro Histórico·$$

Blue Corn Quesadilla with Grasshoppers

MXN55.00

Griddled blue corn tortilla filled with cheese, hoja santa and grasshoppers.

Tip: If grasshoppers intimidate you, ask for the quesadilla without them. The bartender won't judge and the filling is excellent on its own.

El Fogoncito

Quesadilla de Queso

MXN30.00

Melted cheese quesadilla with optional mushrooms or huitlacoche.

Tip: The quesadilla de huitlacoche is available late night — a flavorful alternative to meat tacos.

Hipódromo Condesa·$

Quesadillas de Huitlacoche

MXN48.00

Corn fungus filling in fresh blue corn quesadilla with queso fresco and salsa.

Tip: Huitlacoche quesadillas are seasonal (rainy season, July-Sept). If available, order them — this is the restaurant's most unique preparation.

El Parnita

Roma·$$

Quesadilla de Flor de Calabaza

Quesadillas La Tía

Roma Norte·$

Quesadilla de Queso

MXN35.00

Fresh corn tortilla with melted cheese, cooked on a griddle until slightly charred.

Quesadilla de Huitlacoche

MXN50.00

Corn quesadilla filled with corn fungus and cheese, earthy and savory.

Quesadillas La Tía

Roma Norte·$

Quesadilla de Champiñones

MXN45.00

Sliced mushrooms with cheese and epazote, earthy and aromatic.

Tip: Ask specifically for epazote—it defines this quesadilla. Without it, it's just mushroom and cheese.
