The Green Mill $6

7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Consomme de Birria from El Guero: Sip a large Styrofoam cup of goat soup ($2.50 with meat, $1.75 without) while strolling around the market. The savory broth is seasoned with hot sauce, lime juice and a sprinkle of fresh white onion and cilantro. Huitlacoche Gorditas from Green House Steaks: There is a slew of filling choices for these savory fried cornmeal shells. Ask for two in one: jet-black huitlacoche cooked with onions and corn, and potatoes with chorizo (pictured, $3). Tinga Huaraches from Huaraches Chilango: The base of these Mexico City-style huaraches is a thin oval of fried masa stuffed with black beans. Ask for it with salsa verde and tinga de pollo--pulled chicken in a chili-tomato broth ($4.50). They're smaller than other huaraches at the market, but are fresh and wildly flavorful (hence the constant line).
