Authentic tacos, on the pricier side, but they're sooo good! They also deliver (telephone 52716285). Very possibly Spanish will be required if you want to order by phone. Don't leave Mexico without trying tacos al pastor, or a "gringa"!

Sightseeing
To visit Xochimilco is a treat, but not for the faint of heart. Xochimilco is a series of small villages, or pueblos, that are now surrounded by the city, best known for the canals that traverse them. You can rent a "trajinera", a colorful boat, and navigate the cnaals, visit some chinampas (little islands along the canals man-made for agriculture). Other boats will approach yours to sell toys, food (delicious quesadillas!) and beverages. Even Mariachi boats navigate the canals and ask if you'd like to hear a song for a fee. It is a super fun day-trip that you surely won't forget!
