Mexico City (known as CDMX) is having a moment. And while it still might not be top of your travel list, there are some very good reasons to make it part of a trip Stateside.
STREET FOOD…
Mexico City is famous for its food – we’re talking taco stands on every corner, the smell of corn tortillas in the air. There’s also food markets, a huge restaurant and bar scene, and some very famous high-end eateries to choose from.
Our tip? Don’t miss out on the street scene. Do a taco tasting tour – Airbnb have several you can book into, for example – with insiders who know where to get the best in the city.
For instance, while tacos al pastor is possibly the most popular type of taco in CDMX (made with marinated pork from a vertical rotisserie), thanks to our tour guide we also tried fabulous duck tacos from a Filipino chef in a small cafe secretly tucked away underneath a bar.
…AND POSH NOSH
If you love food and can afford a gastronomic experience, Enrique Olvera’s Pujol is one of the top places in the world to eat right now (be warned though, it costs around $260 per head – without drinks). He uses native ingredients such as ants and sea snails in his molecular gastronomy version of traditional Mexican cusine. Book early as it’s hard to get in.
