Alongside our two days spent exploring Mexico City, we also spent a day venturing to Teotihuacan about an hour outside of the city, as well as hitting the town on a Late Night Tacos and Mezcal Tour with Eat Mexico (our second tour with them, read about the first, our Street Food tour here).
With more than approximately 25 million residents, Mexico City has more people living in it than the WHOLE of Australia… just let that sink in for a minute. Surprisingly, Mexico City, or Distrito Federal (DF to the locals) as it is called, doesn’t feel like it is crazily overpopulated, nor does it feel like the concrete jungle with ghettos overrun by murderers and gangsters that we half expected.
Mexico, and particularly Mexico City, prides itself on being a foodie destination, full of fresh flavours and regionally diverse dishes. But the country that brought tacos, salsa and enchiladas to mainstream diners around the world has a lot more to offer than these well known dishes.
