Ciudad de México (MEX)
19. August 2012: Restaurant Ka-Loc
For a change I decided to have some Chinese food while in Mexico – and it was not such a bad decision after all. The restaurant offers some “Chinese packages” which each include a large number of different dishes. I decided to go for “Paquete No. 4” (119 MXN) which included some kind of weird […]
18. August 2012: Restaurant Casa Bell
Once seated, we were served some bread with “Salsa Verde”, limes, and cheese. The combination is pretty tasty – especially if you take some of the spiciness of the salsa with the lime. The “Sopa con Pescados y Camarones” (125 MXN) is a simple but rich dish. The soup is oily, full of taste and […]
16. August 2012: Restaurant Châlet Gourmet
Another typical dish of Mexico is a “Torta”. Although a food corner in Six Flags is probably not the best place to try a torta, I must admit it was pretty good. I had a “Torta Cubana” (with ham, chorizo, beef, pig leg, salchicha and cheese from Oaxaca in Parmesano con Rajas bread) for 80 […]
15. August 2012: Restaurant Biko
PHANTASMAGORIAL – Original Mexican dishes served in a new and unexpected way – that is what you get at the restaurant Biko (the 38th best restaurant in the world according to TheWorlds50Best.com. When you enter, you are welcomed by the head of the restaurant which then guides you to your table. The chairs are removed […]
15. August 2012: Street Restaurant Picadillo
Another dish from a typical street kitchen is the Picadillo with rice (40 MXN). It is basically a mixture of minced meat, potatoes, carrots and peppers and pretty simple to prepare – just mix the picadillo with the rice and that is it. It is not overwhelmingly tasty but absolutely good and yummy. The people […]
14. August 2012: Street Restaurant Sopes
The Street Restaurant Sopes (that’s not really its name but there is no official name, so I decided to call it that way) is one of many typical Mexican street kitchens you can find all over. And as the name already suggests, they sell “sopes”. Sopes are a simple but rich dish – a corn […]
14. August 2012: Restaurant Vips
“Arrachera Mexicana” (124 MXN) is a simple but rich dish – while the Frijoles calientes are of average taste, the corn with rajas is pretty tasty but also quite spicy for European standards. The chilaquiles (red and white sauce with corn chips) are quite tasty and rich. But what is truly outstanding is the juicy […]
26. December 2009: Restaurant 635 Café
The 635 Café is situated in the Colonia Jardín Balbuena close to a “Home Depot” store. It’s best to access it either by foot or taxi and to be honest from the beginning on, it’s a good place to go if you’re close to Home Depot anyway but it’s not worth hours of travelling. The […]
