Mexican Food and Beer!
This place is a cool pedestrian street that the cops shut down to traffic, and the cafes and bars spill out into the street with tables and giant beers!
This place is a cool place to sit out in the street and watch the crowds walk by. It's a hip, younger crowd that hangs out here- with music, food, and drinks!
The food selections here are all moderately priced places that focus on Chilango- Mexico City food. Don't expect to find a chain restaurant here. The food choices are numerous. There are many Mezcal bars, and tequila joints that sell crickets in their guacamole. Cool!
The outdoor bars serve huge beers- including a small mini keg that they place on the table so drinks don't run dry. There's also Pulque places around here- it's a syrupy sour and sweet fermented low alcoholic drink that is worth a sip, but that's it.
The neighborhood seems like it's had hard times in the past, with older style of buildings that have been in various states of disrepair until the whole area seems to have been revitalized, with street art and the buildings fixed up.
The area was very safe- especially since it's only pedestrian traffic. There were police at every intersection, as well as signs with maps to direct you to the highlights. The cops helped answer my questions with a smile. read more
