    Mezcal

    Posted by elmezcal 9 September 2005

    Forget Tequila and go for Mezcal, which is another spirit distilled from agave, but with a different process leading to a smoother, sweetish drink which can be enjoyed like a fine single malt whiskey. The ones to go for (in my opinion) are the reposado (aged for 2 years) or the anejado (aged for up to 7 years in barrels of white oak). Salud!

    Cafe Popular, Cafe de Tacuba

    Posted by elmezcal 8 September 2005

    Cafe Popular and Cafe Tacuba are both intsitutions and deliver the authentic DF experience. Cafe Popular is great for good value breakfasts with tons of food and coffee. Can get very busy as it's (as the name suggests) very popular with the locals. Cafe de Tacuba is a bit more expensive but a real experience with waiting staff in pinnies and 50's style head-dresses. Very colourful decor and delicious food. I recommend the hot chocolate and sweet breads. Great to people watch, especially on a Sunday when clans of "chilangos" head out for food.

    Cafe Popular - 5 de Mayo Street; Cafe de Tacuba - Tacuba Street nr Allende Metro.
