Antojería Nacional

$ Fodor's Choice

Decorated with brightly colored papeles picados and tables with Talavera tile tops, friendly and traditional Antojería Nacional is a bit of a contrast with the many hip and modern spots in this neighborhood of Cholula close to the campus of Universidad de las Americas. The specialty of this hugely popular spot is traditional street food—tortas milanesas, chicken pelonas, chorizo gorditas, and more.

San Pedro Tortas and Cemitas

$ Fodor's Choice

Across the street from the dramatic spires of Parroquia de San Andrés Cholula, this simple sandwich shop serves delicious versions of classic tortas as well as Puebla's beloved version of these hearty sandwiches, the cemita. Try it with chicken milanesa (with thinly pounded and breaded chicken) or local sausage with all the fixings, including cheese, avocado, jalapeños, and chipotles in adobado sauce.

Barbarista

Duck into this minimalist-chic third-wave coffeehouse for a hot or cold sip to take with you on your walk to the Zona Arqueológica de Cholula. Baguette sandwiches, salads, and other light fare is served alongside a menu of coffee and espresso featuring locally roasted beans.
