How to Decide if You Can Trust Street Food

A lot of great expat areas will have street food vendors offering tempting foods right on the street, Some will have a couple of small tables to sit at. You will not see running tap water and while tempted you probably should move on and eat at a regular restaurant. But if you do want to give it a go, here's some tips. Does the person dishing up the food also take the money. Filthy stuff money. If it's the small person hopefully they slip on a plastic glove before touching the money and making change. Is there some sort of hand sanitizer liquid in use? Do they have a way to was the plates or do they use paper plates? Some places in Mexico slip a fresh clean plastic sleeve over a regular plate and put the food on top of the plastic sleeve. Do they have lots of business? Are there any North Americans eating there? All good signs. Good eating and Good Luck.
