And even their beef tacos (bistek) is bland as hell. Shame they changed, last time I was here was 2 years ago. Chupacabras has easier access, cheaper & tastier & now they even have a seating area. So sad one less place to eat.

We were in la Ciudad de Mexico for a week and this was likely my favorite meal by far.

Don't forget to try the gras hoppers, yes they are on the menu and quite good. The drinks were good, especially the margaritas. Everything comes with a generous portion of aguacate and the frijoles were amazing. The salsas were delicious but unfortunately not spicy, although others might think differently. Gotta try this place if you are staying in the Coyoacán.

I walked to the tranquil downtown Coyoacan area and saw La Casa de los Tacos was open, so porque no? The girls were so nice. And they were open with a few diners inside. It was kind of empty and chill, but the ambiance was festive and exciting due to the music and activities going on in el parque nearby. I was so hungry I wanted to eat everything, so I got the tacos con chapulines (HELLA FIRE) and a side plate of arroz con platanos. I also ordered a beer, but that never came out. Their salsas are hella good. Especially that insane truffle one, who knew! It was SO good. The pan fried platanos were so delicious and the perfect little craving I needed for a sweet treat afterwards. They accept cash and card, and make sure you tip you extranjero/turista!

I asked what were her favorites and she suggested the taco costilla cargada and the taco arbanus. We started with the taco costilla cargada and holy cow, our minds were blown. The meat was decadent and perfectly topped with matchstick fries to provide texture. We now had to try more tacos and ordered the arbanus. This turned out to be my favorite, the lamb paired with the tahini sauce was a playground for the palette. We also tried the mole poblano which was also very good. The salsa and toppings bar allowed you to customize your tacos with salsas, lime, and onions. Definitely a must try in the market!

This casual food stand serving "tacos de cañasta" (basket tacos) in front of an "El Super" corner…read moreconvenience market was a clear favorite among the locals, the bustling crowd in front evidence of its favor. Basket tacos are steamed corn tortilla tacos with simple fillings kept warm and served from a basket. These simple creations serve as quick, cheap and easy lunch options for the day workers. Their simplicity is what makes them so incredible; pure comfort food. We ordered a chicharron and papas taco. It was seriously like 10-15 MXN per taco. Gobbled these up with its ultra tender contents. They have a ton of toppings on the side and even a much revered green sauce to add all the flavors. Otherwise, on their own, they are still quite yummy. Eat standing up and pay when you are done, the honor system in full play here. It definitely beat searching down a sit down restaurant or eating at one of the touristy eateries within the Coyoacan Market.

Always delicious and reliable tacos de canasta in Coyoacan!…read more After watching The Tacos Chronicles on Netflix, my husband got in his head that he wanted to try tacos de canasta. The difficult thing about the tacos de canasta is that they "move" and they are usually not in just "one place", so we were happy to find two guys which sell them every day at the same spot! They are conveniently located two blocks from Frida and Diego's house in Coyoacan and in front of a bodega. We tried their chicharron and bean tacos, and they were delicious! Their salsa verde was the BOMB! Tacos de canasta are very cheap and a few pesos can take you a long way. Please don't try to pay with large bills or credit cards. You pay after you finish eating, because you can always order more after eating a couple of tacos. PS: This location is not the one from the show, but I am using it as a reference so y'all know which type of tacos I am talking about.

Mercado de Coyoacán is a short 10 minute walk from the Frida Kahlo Museum. After visiting the…read moremuseum (if you decide to go, you do need to purchase tickets 1- 2 weeks in advance because they do not sell tickets at the door), we visited this mercado in search of something for lunch and also to browse. We visited this market 2 Tuesdays ago. We ended up deciding to stop by a food vendor (Jugos y Coctetes Alexis) that is known for their fruit juices and fresh foods because I decided that I really wanted a salad. As much as I am truly loving a lot of the local food (and the street tacos are amazing here in Mexico and so is the birria), I was longing for a salad and something nice and fresh. I ended up getting a burrito and a fruit salad (which was much larger than I expected and really a perfect size for 2). My husband got 3 tacos that came with fries and nopales. We also got a mojito which was really nice and refreshing and was perfect (this is non alcoholic and do not think this food vendor serves alcohol). I think it was not made with any added sugar, which is what I really loved. Afterwards, we did browse the market and ended up purchasing some souvenirs to bring back home such as Lucha Libre Masks for our nephews (they do sell kid size masks if you are looking for those and are a little cheaper) and also a few masks for our friends (adults) as well. Purchasing these masks here in Mexico City is significantly cheaper than purchasing at home (They are $20 USD for the cheaper versions on Amazon and $25 USD from the vendors selling at the LA County Fair for those that are from my neck of the woods). I also purchased a few small Día de los Muertos figurines because I really love the way they look and also love that Día de los Muertos celebrates our loved ones who have passed away. We also purchased some vegetables as well to take back to our Airbnb to cook (yes I am one of those people who cook even on vacation). Overall, we had a really great experience at this market and would recommend coming here for a visit.

Visiting local open or indoor markets and supermarkets are one of the best ways of getting to know…read morelocal culture when visiting somewhere new, so I try to visit at least a couple examples of both whenever I'm traveling to a different country. Mercado de Coyoacán popped up as a convenient option since it's within a 10 minute walking distance from both Museo Frida Kahlo and Museo Casa Kahlo. Open since 1921 (though originally in a different location), on an early Sunday afternoon this appeared to be a popular place to visit, with plenty of people eating lunch at the many food stands, picking up groceries as well as a number of tourists exploring the aisles. The market is divided into sections, another Yelper compared it to Ben Thanh market in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (aka Saigon), and I'd agree this reminded me of a smaller version of that, and the setup is very similar! And by smaller by my estimate there's still more than 150 vendors here, so relatively speaking tons to explore (if that gives you an idea of how large BT market is)! Different sections of the market sell different items, there are areas for apparel, accessories, vegetables and fruit, butchers and seafood, spices/condiments/sauces, dried goods and coffee, food stalls, handicrafts and souvenirs interspersed in between. Each stall has a number tho you may need to do some wandering around to locate a specific one if you're searching for it. Vibrant sights, smells and sounds greet you at every corner, since it was around lunchtime the delicious scents of food wafting around made me hungry! I ate at one of the more popular stalls and food was decent though perhaps not stellar imho. However I may not have ordered the right items and it was also one of many choices so I'm sure there are other tasty items to try. The aisles are very narrow, enough for one person to pass thru in some cases, so take that into account. Bathrooms are available though not clear on conditions. Cash is preferred, or required at some stands, and a number of vendors also take credit cards with chips. For more info: https://mexicocity.cdmx.gob.mx/venues/coyoacan-market/?lang=en
