- RESTAURANTE EL VENADITO
“This restaurant is in an historic district and serves the gold standard in tacos de carnitas. If you want to experience them the way the locals do, I suggest ordering take-away tacos and eating them standing up. A taco just doesn’t taste the same when you’re sitting down!” Av. Universidad 1701, Agrícola, CDMX +52 55 5661 9786 - SAN ÁNGEL INN
“Sit out on the patio of this ancient Carmelite monastery to enjoy a marvellous, authentic margarita. On Saturdays, take a stroll over to the colourful El Bazaar Sábado market nearby.” Diego Rivera 50, San Ángel Inn, CDMX +52 55 5616 1402 / sanangelinn.com - ZONA ARQUEOLÓGICA DE TEOTIHUACÁN

“This complex has countless dining and snacking options. I love the French-style macarons from the Theurel & Thomas shop, made with classic, but unexpected, Mexican flavours.” Av. Miguel Ángel de Quevedo 353, Santa Catarina, CDMX +52 55 2155 9435 / mercadoroma.com - DULCE PATRIA
