The barbacoa (which we call barbeque) is the main attraction at this particular fair. It's quite fascinating to see how they do it. They have these massive stone platforms with a circular area carved out in the middle. They set a fire in that hole and heat up some rocks. Then they cover those rocks when they and the platform are very hot with layers of the large maguey leaves and dirt. The meat (lamb) is placed on the leaves and covered with more layers of dirt and leaves and left to cook.

When ready, they peel back layers of leaves and cut chunks of meat and sell it by the kilo. You buy some meat and then buys some freshly made tortillas and salsa, find a table and have a feast!! You can go around to the different platforms to sample the meat and choose the one you like best.
