However, the thought of navigating this gigantic congested city can be daunting.

Marcos, the Al Pastor master, has been shaving meat off the trompo for over 18 years, and he’ll serve you one of the best tacos al pastor you’ll ever taste. I tried a Gringa, a flour tortilla with cheese, al pastor meat, and pineapple on top. It was a life-changer. Address: Avenida
Universidad, Narvarte Poniente, 03020 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico Taqueria El AbanicoThis is a Mexico City tacos institution that my buddy Lalo from La Ruta de la Garnacha took me to when we were on our ultimate tacos tour of Mexico City. While Taqueria El Abanico has the full works of different tacos, their carnitas are the best. Address: Gutiérrez Nájera s/n, Tránsito, 06820 Cuauhtémoc, CDMX, Mexico Taqueria Los GüerosYes, you will eat a lot of tacos when you’re in Mexico City, they never get boring. Taqueria Los Güeros again serves all sorts of tacos, but we tried their tacos de tripa, slow cooked pork intestines fried and sizzling on a tortilla. Amazing. Address: Lorenzo Boturini No. 1702, Col:Aeronautica Militar, 15980 México, D.F. Mexico El Pescadito de SonoraOriginating from Hermosillo, in the northern state of Sonora, El Pescadito de Sonora is a Mexico City restaurant that serves some of the greatest fish and shrimp tacos you’ll ever taste. Get the tacotote, chili pepper, marlin, cheese, and shrimp. Address: Calle Atlixco 38, Condesa, 06140 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico Tacos Los JuanesThis is a street food stall Lalo brought me for excellent tacos again. Their Al Pastor and their tacos de cabeza are the champs. A fantastic neighborhood street food tacos stall. Address: On the corner of Guadalajara and Puebla streets, in Roma, Mexico City Los CocyuosLocated in the center of Mexico City, Los Cocyuos is a closet sized taco stall window. He serves a mix of different tacos including all sorts of cabeza and suadero. They are small in size, but delicious. Address: Calle
de Bolívar 54-56, Centro Histórico, Centro, 06000 Cuauhtémoc, CDMX, Mexico El Esquina de ChilaquilesThis legendary Mexican street food stall in Condesa serves tortas, sandwiches filled with fried chicken cutlets, chilaquiles, and loaded with salsa. It’s quite heavy to eat, but so good. I went with the salsa verde. Address: Alfonso Reyes 139 Col. Condesa 06140 México, D.F. Mexico Mariscos OrizabaThis simple Mexican street food stall serves all sorts of mariscos. I tried a couple versions of their seafood tostadas, but after tasting their shrimp tostada, I was so happy, that I didn’t want to try anything else. Their shrimp tostadas are dream-worthy. Address: Calle Liverpool 96, Juárez, 06600 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico Birria Estilo JaliscoThis is another awesome little Mexican street food spot, where lots of neighborhood locals are regular customers. The friendly owner makes Jalisco style birria, a meat stew that’s packed with flavor. Though often made with goat meat, he told me his version is with beef. Address: Colima 171, Roma Nte.,
06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico (Corner of Colima and Orizaba) Tlacoyo and Quesadillas ColimaWalking around where I was staying in the Roma Norte district of Mexico City, this particular corner was always buzzing at lunch with customers ordering blue corn tlacoyos and quesadilla, as well as tacos de guisados. I don’t think you can order anything wrong here, but their tlacoyos are incredible. Address: Colima 115, Roma Nte., 06700 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico (On the corner of Colima and Merida) Mercado La MercedOne of the biggest and most vibrant central markets in Mexico City is Mercado La Merced, and you’ll find a bedazzling display of all things Mexican food. Take a walk in the food section for a culinary adventure that you’ll never forget. Address: Calle Rosario s/n, Merced Balbuena, 15810 Venustiano Carranza, CDMX, Mexico Los SifonesThanks to Eater for this recommendation. Los Sifones is a real family style Mexican restaurant that serves outstanding food. I went there particularly to try their molcajete caliente, a stone mortar sizzling with meat, cheese, lava salsa, and avocado. It was a stunner. Address: Av. Division del Nte. 2804, Parque San Andrés, 04040 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico Churrería El MoroChurrería El Moro is by all means the most famous place (maybe the best) to eat churros in the world. Yes, they were spectacular. And you can enjoy them 24 hours a day. I’m not big on sweets, but a few of their churros were irresistible. Address:

Roma Norte is a safe, trendy, and very pleasant to walk around, neighborhood in Mexico City, and it makes a perfect base. Read more about Roma Norte on my friend Jeremy’s blog.
