There are too many lists of places to eat in Mexico City. But I will add another one to the internet. Everyone tells you to go to Contramar and you definitely should. This city is my favorite in the world, next to New York City. I have written about this city a variety of ways. How To: Mexico City/CDMX or Mexico City / CDMX to help you plan. Below to help you eat. Stars* for the favorites.

Tacos – 4am tacos at Tacos La Chula is the place to go. You can get a pyramid of pastor tacos or a mocajete bubbling with vegetables and wash it all down with a fresh juice. After dancing for hours this is the best taste in the world.
