We just returned from our latest trip to Mexico City. We tried several new (to us) good restaurants: - La Pigua (Seafood Campeche style in Polanco), - El Tajín (Veracruz style food near Coyoacan) - La Taberna del León...

I’m off to Mexico in a week and would welcome any recommendations for lovely places to eat in Mexico City and Oaxaca. Also, does anyone have an address for El Bajio, a restaurant I’ve heard about in Mexico City?

OMG! Eat street food all the time and you’ll never get sick.If you don’t eat street food when in Mexico, you aren’t really there. Just for that I’m going to eat ostiones, and pata de mula from a street cart...

, slightly smoky, the second time done with a salsa verde that was a subtle flame-thrower. Ive had tacos both times, once an order of chorizo ones, with really good spicy chorizo and Oaxaca cheese, the last visit, tacos with more...
