If
you enjoy relishing tacos, ensaladas and tequila then
you will love Mexico City for its scrumptious cuisine.
You'll also find authentic and delectable world-class
cuisines especially in areas La Zona Rosa and Polanco.
Mexican cuisine is usually very tasty and is centered
around three national staples-tortillas, beans and
chili peppers. Tortillas are thin round patties of
pressed corn or wheat-flour dough cooked on griddles.
Beans (frijoles) are eaten boiled, fried or refried,
in soups, on tortillas or with just about anything.
Trademarks of authentic Mexican cuisine are the tacos
de pollo (chicken wrapped in tortillas), carne asada
(thin slices of broiled beef filet) and enchiladas
suizas (chicken-filled tortillas, covered with a delicious
sauce of tomatillos, sour cream and cheese) very tasty
and not too spicy. Do sip slowly on your tequilas!
When your taste buds head south of the border -- and
you need more than chips and salsa -- check out one
of our Mexican restaurant picks.
