Marquesitas

These crispy crepe rolls are made from a thin wafer batter cooked on a special round iron, then filled with Edam cheese (queso de bola) and sweet toppings like Nutella, cajeta, or strawberry jam. The salty-sweet combination is unique to the region, with 90% of Mérida street vendors offering at least three filling variations. This portable treat, impossible to resist, accounts for 15% of Yucatán's street food sales annually, per 2022 local market research.
