About

Doña Rosa sets up her folding table near the garden in Xochimilco at seven, with a cloth over the trays to keep the heat in. Underneath is pan de elote: a dense, golden sweet corn bread, moist in the middle and caramelized at the edges, baked at dawn in her home oven from fresh corn and butter.

Buy a slice to eat standing up with a cup of atole, or a whole loaf wrapped in paper to take onto a trajinera on the canals. She also makes sweet corn tamales, soft and pale pink with a few raisins, and a café de olla poured from a clay pot.

She is there Thursday to Sunday mornings only, cash only, and on Sundays the trays are usually empty by one.
