Taste of Mexico City: The Ultimate Guide to the Best Restaurants and Street Food Spots - 2023

[@MarioGomez-xc4yc]

Man ! Im hungry ! and im ready for bed too ! 😁🌶️

[@dankeats]

😂 that happens to me all the time on the late night KZbin sessions

[@juanalvarado7188]

I live in México city, actually I am working in puerto Vallarta. Thanks for sharing this beautiful video guys.. !!

[@dankeats]

So glad you loved it! 🙏🙏I also have a video on puerto Vallarta with some good recommendations.

[@HS-yk9he]

Excellent video, professionally made. Just showing interesting sites without unnecessary comments and interruption. Great job!!!

[@dankeats]

Thank you so much for that feedback! My goal is to provide as much value in a short period of time (as short as possible at least) instead of doing a vlog style video, which I feel is its own thing. I just have zero interest in putting on a mic and talking about my food while I’m eating 😂 especially while traveling with my family/2 children. This is what’s doable for me at the moment so I’m glad it’s resonating! Please give me a subscribe and I’ll be posting more videos soon! 🙌🫶

[@JoseMartinez-gy4gb]

Wowwww MÉXICO it’s amazing, beautiful, I want to visit all those places

[@dankeats]

Mexico City is a food lovers paradise. I love the city and it’s people!

[@chauc1781]

I’m going back again for my 6th time in a few weeks. I’ve tried half of these places and will visit the other ones you suggested 🙌🏻

[@dankeats]

Enjoy!! I’m jealous. If you haven’t been to Nico’s, I highly recommend. That was the meal I think about most often. Get a Sunday brunch reservation!

[@edgarandre5216]

I think seeing so much delicious food made me hungry. I like that they have captured the essence of us Mexicans so that people in other countries know that they can visit us whenever they want, Mexico is a huge country but there's good infrastructure to travel in all directions and it isn't expensive. regards Czech-Mexican 🇲🇽🇨🇿

[@dankeats]

Thank you so much for the positive feedback! Really appreciate that. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I love Mexico and the Mexican people and want to do my best to share the culture through the food. ❤️

[@lisamcintire5342]

I’m doing research for my trip in April. This is one of the best recommendation videos I’ve seen. Love all the details! Thanks

[@dankeats]

Thank you so much Lisa!! That was my goal, to pack as much value into one video as possible. More like a visual guide instead of a vlog where I make you watch me eat. 😂 Glad you liked it, enjoy your trip!! I’m jealous

[@riskyron1416]

I will be in Mexico City in April as well. A tip is to take the cable cars over Mexico City. There are 3 with the longest 14 KM. I had thought of a hot air balloon ride but this is even better and cost only about $2. Try the electric assist peddle taxis. Half the cost and gets you places much faster. Lots of great museums. Want nice cheap hotels try places like Doctores'. Tram runs to Distric Historica for 5 peson. And in my case the bus is free. Though buses can get crowded. On most public transit there are women only areas.

[@dvanmartin9842]

Awesome Video.

[@dankeats]

@@dvanmartin9842 thanks so much, I really appreciate that. 🤝

[@tracycakes99]

I absolutely LOVED this video!! One of the best I’ve seen. 🙌🏽

[@dankeats]

That means a lot, thank you so much! I watched almost every other video on KZbin before I went there with the hopes that I could provide some unique insight and the most value possible in my video!

[@danilucita22]

Thank for displaying what Mexico City has to offer when it comes to food. A lot of the bloggers only go to small shops or boutique like restaurants that do not make justice for the real food. Those places typically offer a variety that’s more appealing to white Americans or Europeans.

[@dankeats]

Thanks for the kind words! That was my goal. I always try to seek out the most authentic places and rely heavily upon the suggestions of locals to do so. 🙏🙏

[@jimntran]

thank you for sharing all the best places to eat in Mexico city. Really appreciated. Sincerely, your new Subscriber :)

[@dankeats]

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and subscribing!! More videos on the way.

[@soupisgood44]

See, this is how all travel bloggers should make their videos. Limited voice narrating, the important stuff mentioned in the subtitles, and footage that never lingers and gets straight to the point. Beautifully done, guys!

[@dankeats]

Thank you so much for appreciating the style of my videos! I just want to pack as much value as possible into the videos and create a sort of visual guide for people to reference. It’s very different than a food “blog” style video but I think it’s more valuable because I’m able to provide a lot more recommendations this way and even show you what I got at each spot! Thanks for watching!

[@annajacobs8187]

Baby Jacob 😍😭 so tiny. I dream about that strawberry merengue cake, unreal.

[@dankeats]

It will be fun to look back at these videos and our travels with the little bub as he grows up. ❤️

[@alalesc3796]

The gastronomy in Mexico is the best in the world!

[@dankeats]

Definitely one of the best I’ve experienced!

[@hectorperez1955]

Me agrada que probaron una gran variedad de comida, en puestos callejeros, mercados y restaurantes gourmet. Saludos.

[@dankeats]

Gracias! My favorite places to eat are food stalls and markets but I also wanted to try some of the great restaurants of Mexico City! I loved everything I tried.

[@19rampage81]

Exactly the type of video I was looking for. Thank you 😊

[@dankeats]

Thank you so much! What about the video did you like the most? I love feedback from people so that I can implement more things that people like in future videos.

[@stevemill8959]

This is the best food guide I have seen on yt. I am going in 3 days can’t wait!

[@dankeats]

Wow thank you so much! Enjoy your time down there!!

[@angelnaranjo9341]

México City is incredibel 👍👍 The people are awesome very friendly.

[@dankeats]

I agree! I’ve found this to be the case everywhere I’ve been in Mexico so far.

[@Vancouver_Dan]

Thanks for this inspiration. I have been to DF several times and you have still been able to add new destinations to my list. Well done!

[@dankeats]

Thanks!! It’s so hard to say what are the “best” restaurants, it would take you a lifetime to eat through all of the options in DF. But these are all some amazing eats and many of them are regarded as the “best” by many of the chefs and people I spoke to during my two weeks down there.

[@MartinLizamaMioni]

All welcome to my hometown, this just a fracción what you can find. Grand video, thank you

[@dankeats]

Indeed! It would take a lifetime to eat through the city. This is just a smallllll start to get people on the right path and try some authentic food of DF! Glad you liked the video. 🙏🏼

[@dankeats]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the city as much as I do. Enjoy!

[@beautifulflorida]

Food looks delicious! Nice walk!

[@dankeats]

It’s all so amazing! One of the best food cities I’ve been to.

[@karenmarieth2011]

As a Mexican I absolutely love this video. I think this guy really did his research and I love the picture… i would much prefer hear a narration over music because I love the sounds of the city but also can’t focus on the food because I’m trying to pause and read 😂

[@dankeats]

Thank you for the kind words and the feedback! I am still trying to dial in exactly what I want these videos to be like and I have narrated my most recent videos so there is less reading required. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a nice comment with constructive feedback! 🙏🏼

[@dankeats]

Also to your point, I probably did 20 hours of research before our trip! 😅 There’s so much bad recommendations out there so I had to reach out to a few local chefs and restaurants to get their feedback and favorite spots as well.

[@lamagicafrida648]

Good job! Excelent video!

[@dankeats]

Muchas gracias mi amore 🙌

[@indulto448]

Se come delicioso en Ciudad de México,espero volver pronto 😢

[@dankeats]

It is the best! I want to go back soon.

[@adamho8081]

Great video and summary/synopsis as well. I will try some of these spots on my trip to CDMX!

If you visit Mexico you have to try their classic tacos...!! Or some Garnacha by the way, you will be pleased and happy in your stomach...!!

You need to keep the subtitles way longer. Please.

[@MrTecoman]

I really like your concept, heads up!

[@dankeats]

Thank you! Really appreciate the positive feedback. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@RodrigoVargas72]

Ok, a connoisseur. Yes, tacos al pastor go with SALSA VERDE.

[@steveapollon1839]

How about a website or link listing the restaurants and addresses?

[@dankeats]

Got all of them tagged in my highlight reel here on IG along with what I ordered. 👉instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3ODU4NTQ1ODkyNzQ5NTAx?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

[@riskyron1416]

The tough one is finding Tamales there. I love tamales. But seem only Northern Mexico

[@dankeats]

Yes, I didn’t see them offered in any of the places we went

[@riskyron1416]

@@dankeats I saw a restaurant on Maderia Aveneda near the Government Plaza. But may be a one day a week thing as I did not see it again. Also near the Old Church on Maderia I met an old women with both legs amputated at the hip and her left arm amputated at the shoulder. Yet she was out on an electric skateboard selling embroidered masks and leather and bead jewelry. f I can locate her again, I have 50,000 Pesos so she can have a better mobility device. My dad was a WWII Amputee from WWII. Left leg at the hip. So she strikes me with courage like I have never seen before. Unbelievably happy as well

[@alvaroberrielcantellano8189]

TACOS AL PASTOR ~~☆

[@dankeats]

The 👑 of tacos IMO

[@jdutczyn1]

great vid, what's the song that kicks in 0:10 secs

[@dankeats]

Thank you so much! And unfortunately I can’t remember the name of it, but I got it off StoryBlocks - where I get all my stock audio/music from.

[@ivansanchez8458]

Great video, did you try tamales?

[@dankeats]

Thank you! I had one at the Sunday market we went to, it was delicious.

[@rodriguezalemanclaudia94]

❤❤

[@TheNinerfan87]

a review of the food would be nice.......

[@dankeats]

This is a curated list of my top recommendations after hours and hours of research, talking with locals including some of the best chefs in the city, and my own experience eating 3 meals a day out in the city over the course of 15 days. I feel like it’s a waste to record myself (or watch others) eating the food and saying it tastes good. Instead I tell you where to go and what to order and that is my “review” of the food. I packed a ton of recommendations into one video this way instead of making you watch me eat every dish and say “mmm this is so f****** good” like I would’ve after every bite. 😂

[@dadbodgaming.92]

Yeah I could only watch like two minutes. Feels like a 20 min long PowerPoint lmao

[@dankeats]

Sorry bout that dad bod gaming. Find another video with as much value packed into every minute on Mexico City and send it over. 👋🏻

[@toolrammsteindeftones]

These ppl that get sick. Because you overeat. That can happen here on a Sunday watching football full of pizza, wings. Frys and all kinds of bar food

[@dankeats]

I’ve lived in the states for 34 years of my life and have overeaten many times off crap food and never once have I pissed out of my ass for 16 days straight after doing so. Different ballgame sir…gonna have to respectfully disagree. Even Mexican locals will tell you which spots to avoid and tell you which spots are “clean”. It’s no secret.

[@jairuz17]

Heading to nacho libre? What?

[@dankeats]

Sorry, I don’t understand what you’re asking.

[@RodrigoVargas72]

Jalisco birria is made with goat, not beef. 🤷🏻‍♂️

This not Mexico, where is the desert, cactus and sombreros and donkeys?

[@dankeats]

Speaking of donkeys, you sound like an ass, yourself.

[@berryblue2345]

all this gringos in this city, hell no!!!

[@dankeats]

😂 what’s your problem

[@riskyron1416]

Don't drink any beer coming in a clear bottle, like Corona. Everyone will think you a fool with no sense of taste at all.

[@dankeats]

I didn’t find anyone to be judgmental like that at all while we were there, plus most smaller places like the taquerias only have one beer option anyways, so I’m drinking whatever they give me when I ask for a cerveza. 🍺

[@riskyron1416]

@@dankeats Everyone who knows beer knows clear bottles will skunk the hops. And that gives the taste of a dirty sock. No they won't laugh in your face but rampant they say how Americans are suckers for Corona. Mexican export most as they won't drink it. Mexico has some very good beers though. I have lived in Panama, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica nearly 14 years with 1 month or longer trips to Mexico twice a year. Of all places Costa Rica is most friendly and polite. But all false. Mexico the friendly and polite is genuine. By the way I craft brewed beer for over 50 years. And brewed beer in the US 30 years ago and offered $200 a gallon. Never sold it as that would have been illegal, plus even giving people beer they never returned my 1 liter flippy top bottles. Heck I ever made Beer in Saudi Arabia Alcoholic as well as brewed wine. Resorting to the use of bread years as any other was unobtainable.

[@riskyron1416]

@@dankeats Pacifica and Modelo Negra are a couple good choices. Ever the sight of Corona in a bottle makes me ill. Though in a can or on tap, it is a decent beer.

[@dankeats]

@@riskyron1416 for sure. I drank a lot of modelos and Pacifico (as you can see in the vid) and all of them use tinted bottles down there.

[@riskyron1416]

@@dankeats Good choices. Likely you would spit our Corona if you tried it. But advise against it. Green glass works too but bot as good as brown. And best of all is draft in a barrel. But seldom seen as the taps, valves and setup costs too much and the beer should be used within 10 days. So such as an Irish or British Pub in Mexico City is the best bet for finding that.

[@RodrigoVargas72]

And if you need breaks from tacos, go back to your herring.

[@dankeats]

1) 😂 I went to Jalisco and had birria de res, so shut the hell up. Yes, it’s commonly made with goat or lamb but people can make it with whatever they want. 2) that was salsa verde on the pastor, but again, totally up to the person what they put on their tacos. 3) Mexican food is far more than tacos, you’re an asshole if you think otherwise. 4) learn to read faster. 5) thanks for all the engagement, I Appreciate it, amigo!

[@esmemafalda2257]

Me da risa que los turistas no salen de la colonia Roma o la condesa y creen que eso es ciudad de mexico🤦‍♀️, pagan carísimo por comida de moda, pero no es comida mexicana, es solo para turistas

salimos lejos de esas dos áreas y disfrutamos mucho de la comida... sin embargo, nos dio diarrea por la comida fuera de la ciudad. Mi lugar favorito era el de Nico y estaba a 20 minutos de la ciudad.
