The popularity of the street food was tainted by the hepatitis scare years ago. It was not just a scare but a documented one. Many were afflicted with hepatitis that was suspected to be caused by contaminated street food. In fact, the daughter of a city mayor died of the disease owing to the street food.
The allure of the street food now is the cooking. They cook the street food right on the sidewalk so the buyer can have the food hot and sizzling which means it is not dirty, no contamination and no risk of disease. That’s pretty good because in the recent years there was no reported case of food poisoning or disease.

I never eat food on the streets.
Most of the places I’ve traveled to, some of the best tasting food is street food. It’s what the locals eat and you gotta figure that if stay in business the food must be good!
I do not know, sometimes it is fun to try street food, but mostly I avoid such food, I do not trust sanitaria there.
some time you find great taste in a street instead of big hotel
