Mexico

Ahhh…CDMX. Known to be one of the street food meccas of the world, this was beyond expectations. Granted this was a short trip, still got to see a ton of what the city had to offer. The food culture, the culture culture, + the punk rocky culture really make a hell of a combination. Definitely got lucky with our Airbnb in Roma Norte, which happened to be Ché Guevara’s house at one point. The markets here were super colorful filled with different dried chiles, dried corn, and spices. Most of our meals were at carts but also got to eat at one of the top 15 restaurants in the world Quintonil and another gem, Contramar. You will seriously catch yourself day dreaming about how good the food is in this enormous city. Aside from the gastronomy, getting to see Teotihuacan & the Aztec temples here was pretty breathtaking.

UPDATE

There was a 0% chance that I wasn’t going back to CMDX. The second time around was just as incredible. Was able to check so many great cocktail bars: Hanky Panky, Baltra, Handshake, Rayo, Deleted Souls. Also finally got to do our own little taco tour and try some of the cities best. My absolute favorites are El Vilsito for pastor and El Turix for cochinita. Los Cocuyos and Orinocco both have really solid tacos as well.

Contramar was just as good! Impossible to get reso at Pujol but had a wonderful meal at Sud 777.
