At the foot of the train station sits the Divisidero market with stall-upon-stall of eateries selling mostly tacos, burritos and gorditas (stuffed thick tortillas) filled with a huge variety of homemade goodness like grilled steak, seasoned chicken, nopales (cactus) and even chiles rellenos (chilies stuffed with meat or cheese).
