Mexican Cuisine
Unbelievable! Mexico City was as planned, one of the most affordable places to visit. Entire meals that included appetizers and drinks totaled to less than 5USD! And let me tell you... each meal was incredible. Here I'll list the best of... for the next time you're in mexico city.
1. Chilaquiles
It's a simple dish of tortillas cooked and topped with salsa/mole, cheese, and refried beans (sometimes other goodies too). Traditionally the "hangover cure", I ate this sucker a lot just because it's so darn good!
2. Tacos el Pastor
According to wiki:
Usually pork, it is marinated over one or two days with a blend of different chili peppers, spices and herbs (such as adobo), and then slowly cooked on a vertical rotisserie called a Trompo (lit: spinning top), often with a pineapple on top.[3] The juice from the pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain, which breaks down protein and makes the meat very tender. When ready, the meat is then thinly sliced off the spit with a large knife.
Wow... just wow the lightest meat with just a touch of pineapple that is again only a buck or two just amazing!
3. Pozole
This traditional Aztec soup in my opinion trumps any other soup in my opinion. It was traditionally made from human meat but obviously now it is substituted with other meats. It's this crazy mix of cabbage, oregano, radish, and lime. Aldo's grandmother made the one I tasted and it was the perfect combination of tastes I still remember it mmm.
4. Churros
Thanks to my guidebook Marketa and I found ourselves at this awesome churro place where we took a break to have delicious churros and Mexican hot chocolate. I'm drooling just thinking of how good they were. The milk also in the Mexican chocolate was so thick and delicious too. Probably the richest milk chocolate I've ever had and trust me... I am a hot chocolate expert!
5. FRUITS
Mangos... Tuna... Watermelon... Limes
WOW!!!... Any street corner will have a vendor selling fruits like these and they are the most incredible tasting in the world! Maybe I'm just used to America's engineered fruits and vegetables but these were obscenely delicious!!! aaaa
