For those heading out to the Carrousel of the Nations this weekend in Windsor, Ontario, this Mexican sandwich will likely be everything everyone’s talking about.
If you’ve never heard of it, the multi-award-winning Carrousel of the Nations is returning to in-person ethnic and multicultural festivals scattered throughout Windsor and the surrounding area from June 17-19 and 24-26, 2022.
One of the villages will be the Mexican Village hosted by WindsorEats with the support of the Consulado de Carrera de México in Leamington. As part of this celebration of Mexican culture, a unique Mexican sandwich that Windsor has likely never seen the likes of before will be served up and we guarantee will be the talk of the town: the Pambazo.
Pambazo de Chorizo y Papas is a Mexican street food sandwich absolutely filled with deliciousness. It’s a culinary masterpiece featuring a bread dipped in a guajillo pepper broth and then fried before being stuffed with one of Canada’s best chorizo from Robbie’s Gourmet Sausage Company, and potatoes before being topped with house made garlic aioli, cotija cheese, lettuce and thinly sliced sweet onions.
In addition to the pambazo sandwiches, Robbie’s will be serving up Banderillas, which are gourmet Mexican corn dogs stuffed with that same award winning chorizo. Rico Taco Mexican Street Eats will also be serving up a big selection of eats including birria tacos, fish tacos, taquitos, churros, elotes and flour chicharrones.
