Joy Fowlkes · Answer

Quintonil: I ate here by myself… at the chef’s counter.. and I gasped over so many dishes. I wish I had someone to compare notes with, but also, it rests inside my soul as one of the best meals of my life that I will treasure for years to come.

Emily · Answer

Maque (brunch, lunch): Get the chilaquiles. If there's a line wait in the Parque Condesa and look at the amazing dogs. Most traditional mexican restaurants close before dinner, go during the day and do your gourmet shit at night

Bryan · Answer

Tostadas Coyocan: Tostadas spot inside the Coyocan market! Cool area of town too, spend a half day walking around

Tanya · Answer

CDMX Street Food Tour: I did this tour years ago and I STILL think about it.  I’m not a big tour-taker so I had a lot of reservations about doing it — but I’m SO glad I got over myself. Genuinely some of the best food I’ve ever eaten in my life.

Clara · Answer

The guava pastry at Panadería Rosetta in Mexico City: This is one of the best pastries I’ve ever had.
