Secrets of Mexico City
La Azotea
9 Calle Dr MoraGreat view, confort food, delicious wine!
On top of the Torre Latinoamericana, you will have a great view! This way, you save on the ticket for the viewpoint 😉. Instead, use that money to have a drink or a small snack (though the food is just average 🙁).

This place is on the 53rd floor of one of the main buildings on Reforma Avenue. You need to make a booking, but the views will amaze you! (Fridays and Saturdays can be more complicated.) The food is tasty, but the drinks are quite poor and there isn’t much variety.

Gastronomía
If you want to try authentic Mexican food, come here! They have unique dishes like "tlayuda" (a really big tortilla with various toppings), quesadillas with deer meat or turkey with maguey worms, gorditas de chicharrón (definitely try this one), and many dishes with crickets.

Churros! What else do I need to say? Lol. They have small churros and give you a dip of chocolate 😋. There are different locations 📍; this one is in Roma, and the original is near Bellas Artes.

This is another spot for Mezcal tasting. Here, the person conducting the tasting can explain in English. The only downside is that it's sometimes packed, so you might have to wait.

Quesadillas, pozole, flautas! it's a safe bet if you don't want to risk your stomach by trying somewhere else! This place started in a friend's garage and now has several locations. The service is also really fast.
And if you're out late and not many places are open, the one in the Narvarte neighborhood is open 24 hours! 😎

I've been here many times, and it's definitely my favorite place for seafood! They bring all the sea products fresh from Baja California every day by plane!
While places like Contramar, Entremar, or La Docena are popular, believe me, this one is better!
And if you're into cocktails, they have one with Mezcal and hibiscus 🌺! Yum!

If you're into Mezcal or want to do a tasting, this is the place for you! You can choose from 5 types of Mezcal from a list.
If you like cocktails, Frida is a must-try! It's made with Mezcal and passion fruit, served in a glass rimmed with pepper and salt.
If you're hungry, try the sample plate: tasajo (meat), crickets, longaniza (similar to chorizo but softer), Oaxaca cheese, and tortillas!

My favorite place since I was a child! The specialty is “carnitas and cueritos” (pork meat). It’s near the airport, so if you have some time to spare, definitely go! The cueritos (pork skin) are so soft they almost melt in your mouth. The decorations aren't really my style, but they've been like that forever 🤷🏻♀️. If you visit, I’m 100% sure that the smell of freshly baked bread will catch your attention as you leave. Just two doors down is a bakery called “Bisquets Mexico” – try one! They are amazing!

At this place, they'll ask you two things: How hungry are you? And do you have any allergies or food restrictions? They don't have a menu; the chefs prepare something unique every day! Sometimes it may take a while, so please be patient. 💵 Bring cash as they don't accept credit cards.

Another one of my favorites! Mexican food! My husband loves the Chamorro with mole and the roasted cauliflower! And I love the meatballs with verdolagas (a type of plant) 😋😋😋.
It's best to go on Monday to Friday; Saturdays and Sundays are crowded, and the food takes longer than usual.

Everything is good, although the chef hasn't changed the main menu in a while. It's a great place to try some Michelin recommendations.
They used to have a dessert I was in love with the mascarpone cheesecake with hazelnut and coffee liqueur! ❤️❤️❤️ (They recently changed the dessert menu, and unfortunately, this one is no longer on it 😭).

I often go to the one in the south of Mexico City, and the food is great, but I'm definitely in love with the cocktails here. They have different options; my recommendations are the Celestún and Checo Bull. It's really a great place for drinks.
