Forget Tex-Mex, Mexican cuisine offers its own savory flavors minus the nachos and margaritas.  From street food to cantinas to fine dining, your palette will not be disappointed.  Here are our favorites:

Street Food:  Tostadas El Bajio on Bolivar 56 in El Zocalo - delicious but unmentionable meats mom would not be pleased about

Cantina:  Dos Naciones on Bolivar 58A in El Zocalo – all you can eat delicacies for the cost of three beverages!

Dinner Show:  Foclore on Hamburgo 87 in Zona Rosa - menu is mediocre but entertainment is fantastic

Fine Dining:  Izote on Masaryk 513 in Chapultepec - as if the food wasn’t enough of a treat, we met the celebrity chef Patricia Quintana!

Drink:  Spice up your Dos Equis, Sol, and Corona with chili and convert your cerveza into a michelada - una mas, por favor!

Cow Tip #1:  Happily avoid tap water and you will stay clear of Montezuma’s revenge.

Cow Tip #2:  Open Table is handy for fine dining reservations up to one month in advance.  Reservations are recommended
