I love trying new street foods. It's always cheap and authentic.
Yea but the quality is usually pretty low and it can get you sick because of the lower food handling standards
Reminds me of my trip to mexico a few years back. Had some street tacos and ended up sitting on the toilet for 3 days straight.
You're right, you can definitely get yourself in trouble if you don't take a few precautions. Don't purchase from dirty vendors that seem like they just don't put enough care into sanitation of their product. Look for busy vendors that seem to have a lot of local clientele, this usually means that the food is good if the locals eat it. Also watch the spice levels, as you can find yourself visiting a lot of toilets if you eat the wrong spices!
