At the Acapulco restaurant you will be served them on a large plate while still hot, along with various sauces: cheese, guacamole (avocado sauce), pico de galla (tomato and coriander sauce) and the most spicy diablo.

What to bring from Acapulco
Mexico has always been associated primarily with the ancient Maya. Therefore, any symbolism of a lost civilization is a great souvenir. Despite the fact that there are no Mayan monuments in Acapulco itself, the famous calendars that promised us the end of the world are sold everywhere. Be sure to find a place in your suitcase for a multicolored wide-brimmed sombrero hat, as well as a national warm poncho and hammock. All of these things are inexpensive, but without them Mexico is not Mexico. There are many ceramics in the Acapulco markets. These are bright cheerful plates that can serve not only as a souvenir, but also as a real tableware in the house, reminding of carefree days in colorful Mexico.
Seeing skulls in souvenir shops, do not be alarmed, but rather buy a few as a gift. After all, the skull in Mexico symbolizes life after death. Skulls with smiles are even made of chocolate here. You can also buy the silverware for which Mexico is so famous. Bottles of real chili sauce and tequila will serve as edible souvenirs.
