Sometimes when you visit Mexico after a few days you are done with Mexican food and that´s all right, we have crazy delicious restaurants that you can try like this one. Ask for Karina the chef and enjoy!

Coffee heaven

Costra

This is gotta be one of my favorite coffee shops around town. They make freshly brewed coffee and have some SPECTACULAR croissants. They change the menu once in a while to try new bread recipes, if you go past 11 am you could be able to get a delicious sandwich or baguette with ham or prosciutto. My favourite: chocolate tangerine cake.

This restaurant is located in the beautiful square of Coyoacán, which is already a very iconic place in Mexico city. The food you can try here is traditional of the state of Oaxaca.

Best tacos de cochinita pibil!

Taqueria El Turix

2

If you think you have tried tacos before, you will learn there that you have not. Cochinita Pibil is a traditional mexican dish (from the Yucatan area) and the best tacos of cochinita (trust me) can be found at El Turix. Adding onions, a few drops of lemon and hot sauce to the taco is a must: lemon, sauce & onions are there for a good reason lol.

Food is very good. Prices are moderate to the quality served. Try the apple salad called "Waldorf", together with your beef cut and an Argentinian chorizo. Add a strong Cabernet Sauvignon to that... and you'll have a time to remember.
