Mexico City Restaurants and Dining: What to Eat - Mexico City, Mexico, MX
Chilli is usually an integral ingredient at many of the restaurants within Mexico City, meaning that some of the tasty dishes can be spicy. Cooling guacamole and sour cream is often served with many meals, contrasting well with the chillies. A glass or two of tequila is also a good way to wash down any Mexican meal and tequila is especially popular in Mexico City, together with 'mezcal', a fiery cousin of tequila.

Many of the classic Mexican dishes served at the city's restaurants are pre-Hispanic in their origins and regional favourites include:

• Tlacoyos - stuffed turnovers, made with fragrant corn dough and cooked on hot griddles
• Sábana - extremely thin tenderloin steaks which are pounded to resemble pancakes
• Crepas de flor de calabaza - resembling a French crepe and filled with squash blossoms
• Barbacoa - a Mexican-style barbecue often featuring lamb wrapped in agave leaves
• Torterias - sandwiches unique to Mexico City and often known locally as 'tortas'
