With a plethora of eating options ranging from affordable street eats to upscale gourmet restaurants, Mexico City is one sweet foodie destination. Eating your way through the capital is pure bliss as you discover the ubiquitous food markets serving up regional cuisine, taco shops slicing down delectable spit-cooked tacos al pastor and fine-dining establishments putting a modern twist on Mexican classics.

Of course, one should always be wary of street stalls and restaurants with questionable hygiene, and drinks served with ice are best avoided. If you do get a stomach bug, most major pharmacies have onsite doctors who can prescribe medication.

Here we’ve just scratched the surface of the capital’s abundant food offerings. For more recommendations see the websites Good Food Mexico and Time Out Mexico.
