Nice, I've never had better than in GDL for tortas ahogadas.
My favorite spot for tacos al pastor is in Jardin Balbuena, on Lorenzo Boturini, place called Pastorcito. They put out vats, and I mean vats of guacamole and a grand red salsa to accompany four 50 kg flaming spits of pastor meat that they completely finish every night, not even leaving las cochinadas to scrounge. They were 10 pesos a heaping taco last time I went by. |

I have a taxi driver neighbor who hires out by the day.............I also failed to mentioned that I have also found the best (so far) tacos de canasta in Mexico City, they are a lot easier to find than the previously mentioned tacos, outside the Chapultepec Metro Station, across the street from the PeMex station. How�s that Guy, not too hard. Tacos are great as are the salsas and home-made rajas. |

I think I know of the tacos of which you speak. I used to live around the corner from there. Ray's chicken, those tacos, and Sunday quesadillas about a block away were my norm for awhile.

I don�t think of myself as a "foodie", but I never turn down a chance to eat good food, especially if the price is right  ! |

Yep, that�s the place! Now I am getting hungry! Sounds like it would be a fun thing to do, but there is only so much food you can eat in one day. Unless we were restrained and just sampled one or two items at each place. Chilango magazine has been coming out with lists of the best taco places, the best coffee places, the best markets, etc., I have been slowing working my way through those, though I have skipped a few because they were in trendy/overpriced areas. Discovered a couple of real gems for coffee, though, in traditional markets where you wouldn�t have expected them to be. |

Try Taco Inn on Cinco De Mayo, a couple of blocks from Lazaro Cardenas. |

You still like Chili's? They opened a new one in Zona Rosa, at Plaza la Rosa. |

I was hoping for something a little different than the franchises Taco Inn, Chili's, even Arrachera House.
I miss the little mom and pop taquerias that were all over the city in Texas where I used to live. |

| In my opinion Mexican cuisine is some of the finest in the world. I love pretty much all of it. I could probably eat mol� 4 times a week for the rest of my life! Just wondering, what everyone else just cant live without, from a food pov? |

Wow! That`s quite an endorsement for Mexican food. I would not place it so very high as that, but more in the middle of ethnic foods.
I put Indian,Thai and Vietnamese cuisine on the top, with Mandarin-Szechuan Chinese a close followup. Then comes Mideast cuisine with Mexican and French tied next in order. Cantonese, Italian and Japanese follow, with Chilean and Peruvian rounding out the bottom of the best. German gets even lower marks than Brit gruel.
My fave is relleno negro from Yucatan, followed by escobache and sopa de lima, both from Yucatan. Pastor is very high on the list, along with poc chuc, cochinita pibil and sopa tlapeleno. So despite having lived and eaten off the DF plate, I still prefer the cuisine here in the extreme south. |
