Get the lagrimitas (tears) — little drops that explode in your mouth like a delicate, hard candy version of gushers. But, warning: don't stash them in your bag on a hot day. Consume immediately.
Lunch is long and drawn out, but fun. If you're not trying to drink mezcal or pulque, get a michelada-they make a great one. Do not miss the tableside guac or tortilla soup (both best I've ever had).
Get an especial chocolate for drinking and an español chocolate for dipping your churros in. 👌
The most standout restaurant in DF. Start with tuna tostadas and margaritas. The Contramar whole grilled fish (1/2 verde, 1/2 roja) is so freaking good. Also, the octopus, potato & basil dish is 😍👌.
A great spot for a substantial breakfast (think egg dishes, not just pastries, juice, and coffee). Avocado toast is very solid and quite filling. They do not skimp. Pricey for DF, but still not bad.
Order at least one taco from the special menu. If they're serving one with soft shell crab, get it! Ceviche is good, too.
Great casual spot for dinner and drinks. Make a reservation in advanced if you can. Yummy creative tacos and mezcal cocktails. Cool vibe.
Where you go for cochinita pibil. They make tacos, tortas, etc., but the panuchos are the move. 2 per person is plenty. Get a beer to help them down (a lil greasy). Service is quick and friendly.
The bomb late night al the pastor tacos. Small and not greasy at all. Start with two but you'll probably want three, or four, maybe even five ...
Some next level quesadillas. Try the one with mushrooms (hongos.) On the plancha, not fried.
