Taco I can't stop thinking about: We make many taco spots every day, order a variety of our two, and shared so we'll try it all. I don't think this is an enlargement to say I tried at least 20 different tacos in three days, each of them beautiful in their own way. Another one I requested is Chile Relleno Taco in Taqueria is the vegetablea small area of ​​highway near Chapultepec Park. This is known for Tacos Guisado – a small sign with Netflix logo shown it in a taco documentary on streaming site – but I'm tumbling on vegomarian The choice, with a battered Poblano Pepple, wrapped in cheese and tomato sauce, which I brought to the Red Salsa available on the side. It was a little taste, a little sweet, and completely unlike any other taco I had in the trip.

The healing long lunch: Despite my spanish menu struggles in Sefood Spots My chava ca . I love the design on the menu here that I keep checking Merch – T-Shirt, Stickers, and more – and ends a great colored tote bag as a souvenir. My again is not a larger group to order the Seafood Tower that every other table seems to be happy.

Splurge food: Is there anybody REQUIREMENTS To go to Mexico City and spend a ton of money in a fancy tasting menu? Maybe not, but I also argue that one of the most wonderful parts of the CDMX is that there is a genuine respect for Mexican contents, and a Micheldider translated into Tawuda, and many more. on HILLServing is rare, the situation is shocked, and the menu mixes with long hits like corn and mole with newest experiments. This is my second time here, and I still consider it a very important stop for anyone who visits.

The funniest cocktail menu: I would have liked The witches Only for this concept – a women's running cocktail bar with a book of comic-like menu in the drinks' menu inspired by different women in full history. But they also served my favorite detergent on the trip: La Matlazihi, made with Mezcal, Grasshopper Brine, and Chamomile Liqueur, leading good measure. The taste, grassy notes are revealing, served with odd space.

The food souvenirs to carry at home: Maizajo It is famous for its top-notch tortillas, which they reveal and make the in-house – I am amazed at making workers and forced the tortillas from my place of standing counters. We ate our fair share of tacos here, including a cheese leading the longaniza I loved. But the best decision we made was to take some packs in their hands of tortillas before leaving, and bring a little bit of Mexico City go home.
