Emily Wilson: Get the lagrimitas (tears) — little drops that explode in your mouth like a delicate, hard candy version of gushers. But, warning: don't stash them in your bag on a hot day. Consume immediately.

Emily Wilson: Lunch is long and drawn out, but fun. If you're not trying to drink mezcal or pulque, get a michelada-they make a great one. Do not miss the tableside guac or tortilla soup (both best I've ever had).

Emily Wilson: The most standout restaurant in DF. Start with tuna tostadas and margaritas. The Contramar whole grilled fish (1/2 verde, 1/2 roja) is so freaking good. Also, the octopus, potato & basil dish is 😍👌.

Emily Wilson: A great spot for a substantial breakfast (think egg dishes, not just pastries, juice, and coffee). Avocado toast is very solid and quite filling. They do not skimp. Pricey for DF, but still not bad.

Emily Wilson: Where you go for cochinita pibil. They make tacos, tortas, etc., but the panuchos are the move. 2 per person is plenty. Get a beer to help them down (a lil greasy). Service is quick and friendly.
