What's inside the tacos de canasta? The salsa looks so good too! I loved the little animated walking traffic signal, that was so cute. If you only had one afternoon in Mexico City, which one would you pick?

For the tacos de canasta you can pick between potato (my favorite), beans, chicharon (pork rinds) or get a mix of the three. One afternoon in all of Mexico City. That is hard. I would say see the Templo mayor ruins from the walkway then the cathedral and zocalo from outside. Walk down madero street to Bellas Artes and go to Cafe Don Porfirio. If you had the morning too I’d say go to the National Anthropology Museum and then the Centro Historico in the afternoon.

Would you recommend any other restaurant in the historic center?

The Gran Hotel has a great terrace restaurant. It’s a buffet on weekends and mornings so it can be pricier but lunch is a la carte and relatively affordable. It’s worth popping in to see the stunning stained glass ceiling anyway. La Casa de Tono is another local favorite where you can try a variety of different Mexican dishes but they’re especially known for their pozole. We prefer the location near Bellas Artes over the one on Madero Street. El Moro is a churro place that we love too! There’s a lot of good food in Mexico City 😅
