260 words sure doesn’t leave you much room to talk about the sauce or dish or much about the restaurant. Each word had to work so hard.

3417. This is not a truck but a storefront. Here we ordered sopa de nopales (cactus),($2.75), taco de suadero (beef taken from between the ribs),($1.65), pamboso with chorizo and potatoes ($4.00), huarache de chiccarone ($2.75),...

Hi, I’m new to this amazing board. I’m going to Mexico City for 4 short days and I wanted to get a short list of must-gos. I know this is a little redundant. I’ve read all of the posts about Mexico City on this...
