Churrería El Moro has been around since 1935 making churros and they do it exceedingly well. This…read morelocation is located by the city center and after sight seeing, my husband and I decided to stop by here for churros. Luckily when we came last Sunday, around 2 pm, there was no wait for a table. An employee saw us and told us to sit anywhere. As soon as sat down, another employee brought us menus. We ended up getting: Grande Lechero, $54 MXN ($3.13 USD)- Large size coffee with milk. When our server brought over my husband's drink, she made a grand show of pouring the milk up high into my husband's coffee. I just wished I had gotten a video of it but it was definitely very fun to watch. My husband said his coffee was good (I didn't have any because I am not much of a coffee drinker). Combo 1 with Grande chocolate drink, $155 MXN ($8.98 USD)- So this combination comes with 4 large pieces of churros, 1 dip of your choice and also a chocolate drink. I ended up choosing a Mexican hot chocolate, which is made with cinnamon and sugar. Surprisingly the drink wasn't overly sweet. And really was perfect to dip my churro into the hot chocolate. For the dip, I picked cajeta, which is caramel made with goats milk. The cajeta was excellent with the churro. I don't know if this was the best churro that I have ever had, but it is definitely one of the top ones I have ever had. My husband also enjoyed the churros and the cajeta (he also liked my hot chocolate too). --------------------------- (Total= $209 MXN or $12.11 USD prior to tip) Wait time for our items was pretty quick. We waited less than 10 minutes for everything. Also credit card is accepted so my husband paid (We have the Costco Visa credit card which does not have a foreign transaction fee, which we used exclusively when we were not paying cash). Our server brought a card reader machine to our table when we were ready to pay (for those of you unaware, in Mexico, you will not be brought your check until you ask for it because it is considered rude to give it to you beforehand, assuming that you are being rushed). Overall, we had a really great experience at this location and highly recommend checking out any of the Churrería El Moro locations the next time you visit Mexico City.

This is the 3rd time I've been back to Panaderia Rosetta for a guayaba roll (guava roll). I also tried the maíz concha and the pan de muerto this last time--both were delicious. I would easily order the concha de maíz and the guava roll next time around no questions asked. They are both delicious and very different from each other. For foreigners, especially coming from the US, the prices are very fair given the quality and notoriety of the bakery. We're so used to getting ripped off at coffee shops in the states. By Mexican standards, it's expensive and definitely a treat. Tourist trap or not, it's delicious and a must if you're visiting CDMX.

This place is a madhouse. Is it 'iconic'? Yes. Is it worth it? Probably. But there are a ton of…read moreplaces that create very similar items that may be just as good. But back to the iconic part is why we visited. Packed to the gills, line down the street, chaos completely. The line did go quickly though, but if you do not like crowds, yelling all around, no where to sit and eat/drink, and chaos in general this is not for you. We ordered: Guava roll, Cornbread, Rosemary bun, Mille-feuille of red fruits, Cream filled donut, Tomato and basil focaccia, Potato and provolone focaccia, coffees and lattes. My favorite was honestly the Tomato and basil focaccia. The guava roll was good but of the sweets the Cream filled donut was on par. Now I can say I've been there, not sure I'd do it again for just bakery items, granted it was an experience. For a proper meal at a table though, for sure.

I ordered the medium size, and split it between two flavors, the only two they had which were made from dairy. He gave me names in Spanish, but I really don't remember what they were.

Before committing to a flavor, I asked for a sample through gesture and the owner was nice enough to offer me a generous scoop. The medium size was just the right amount, perhaps even a bit more than I needed considering how much my stomach has shrunk in Mexico. The serving was quite generous, and the price was only 25 pesos- with this kind of quality such a price can't be beat!

Bingsu is a "popular Korean shaved ice dessert with sweet toppings that may include chopped fruit, condensed milk, fruit syrup, and red beans...The food originally began as ice shavings with red bean paste." I randomly passed Pastelnara in La Zona Rosa (CDMX's gayborhood), and being a fan of most things Korean, I couldn't help but grab the green tea cup bingsu (pictured). It did not disappoint. While it was slightly different than the bingsu I'm used to, it was a surprisingly pleasant take on a traditional Korean dessert. The dish was served in a 12oz recyclable cup and consisted of finely shaved ice, green tea syrup that made its way through most of the dish, and it was all topped off with vanilla ice cream and finely chopped nuts. It tasted great, and the best part--it was less than $2.50 USD.
