Markets
Central de Abastos – Maaaaaasive market, Mexico City’s central market. You can’t visit all, just go around and see the stalls. There are places to eat, but I have never eaten there.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_de_Abasto
Mercado de San Juan – Market where you can find all kinds of exotic food, from escorpions to horse meat. There are restaurants inside that serve mainly spanish type or food. worth visiting and eating there.
Restaurants
Mercado Roma – Modern and hipster market of good food. has branches of very traditional and famous restaurants as well as new and fusion food.
El Cardenal – I have only eaten there from breakfast, the queues on weekends can take more than an hour. There are several branches
Cafe Tacuba – Traditional Mexican restaurant Azul – Very nice building in the historic city centre. Good modern version of traditional food
Danubio – Great seafood, a mix of Spanish and Mexican.
San Angel in – An old “hacienda” house, a combination of french/international and mexican. The place is nice, but a bit fancy

TACOS:
el borrego viudo – Super spicy food, is busier late in the night after a night out

El califa –
El chupacabras –
El hidalguense- I have never been, but heard is very good “barbacoa”. Here is a list of recommended places. I buy it from a street stall outside my parents house, hence I don’t usually go to there.

Where to stay? I would recommend around Colonia Roma, Ideally close to Insurgentes,
Transport – Use Uber, the underground and “metrobus” are easy to use, but can get busy
