Mexico City
Masa, mezcal, and markets worth the detour.
A note from the editor
When I was traveling in Mexico City, it felt like every guide and influencer pointed to the same handful of restaurants. I’ve verified those, sure, but this guide goes further: real options for travelers who want more than a curated modern Mexican experience, cantinas and taco stands off the beaten path included, straight from insiders who actually eat there.
