Amazing tostadas made with all classic mexican dishes. I have always said eating tostadas is the worst idea for a first date because they always break down and make a mess in your plate and somehow I always end up with cream on my nose and parsley between my teeth, still this is one of my favorite food, and in Mercado de Coyoacán all the ingredients are always fresh and the fruit juices and waters are the best ones.
