Excellent food, fancy Italian fusion. One of the best place you can go to. It's really good value for money. No bookings and often a lot of people there but they have recently added a second outdoor seating site. In my top 5

One of my very favorite place in the city. It's not one restaurant but a food court with 6 of them. There you can eat Argentinian, Peruvian, Colombian, Brasilan, Venezuelan or Italian food. The hardest part : choosing something from the menu because everything seems amazing. I love the atmosphere too. In my top 5 for sure !

Mexican tradition... The state of Hidalgo, just north of the state of Mexico, is famous for its barbacoa.
What is barbacoa?
In Mexico today, barbacoa is most notably recognized as a term to describe meat, often whole lamb, mutton or goat, that's cooked over an open fire or, more traditionally, in a fire-pit covered with maguey (agave) leaves.
In this more traditional method, the first thing that goes in the fire pit is a grill placed over a pot filled with a little liquid (like water or pulque, an alcohol distilled from the sap of the maguey plant). The meat is placed onto the grill and covered with maguey leaves and then the whole pit is covered with a lid and sealed. While the meat roasts, it's steamed and braised by its own juices and infused with the flavor of the maguey leaves. As a result, you're left with otherworldly levels of tenderness and fall-off-the bone meat.
You'll find barbacoa stands in Mexico City (in Campeche street notably) but only during the weekend.
In this restaurant you can eat this dish 4 days a week.

That's a weird yet incredible food market. They sell everything there from regular things to... other things (insects to eat - scorpions, ants, cockroach, etc. -, meat you wouldn't expect to see being cooked - crocodile, lion, venaison, ostrich, etc.).
It's a local attraction, not that many tourists go there. It's worth a visit for sure.
