I visited Zac after 5 long years and I always crave gorditas since you really can’t get any in the USA. Cande was recommended by my cousin and I have to say that even though it’s such a small place, they are one of the best, if not the best I’ve had. Go early so you don’t have to wait!

Very tasty gorditas with good stews, only if they are already at a somewhat high price, to take that into account
