　　Suadero (beef) tacos abound in the capital, but this always-open stand reigns supreme. Follow your nose to the bubbling vat of meats and go for the artery-choking campechano (mixed beef and sausage taco). For the more adventurous eater, there are ojo (eye) or their speciality lengua (tongue) tacos; for vegetarians, there are nopales (cactus paddles). Be prepared to queue.

Must-see attractions
Museo de la Revolución
Mexico
　　This pockmarked 19th-century house was the scene of the first battle of the 1910 Revolution. The renovated house retains its bullet holes and some revolutionary memorabilia, including a room dedicated to female insurgents. 　　Betrayed only two days before a planned uprising against the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz, the Serdán family...
El Vilsito
Mexico
　　Auto-mechanic shop by day, taco diner by night. No worries, though: the experts slicing down those excellent al pastor (spit-cooked pork) tacos aren't the same ones rotating tyres. If you like gringas (wheat tortillas, pork and cheese), these old pros have been in the biz for 30 years. Just don't...
Los Danzantes
Mexico
　　Excellent Mexican fusion food in a spectacular architect-designed patio makes Los Danzantes one of Oaxaca’s special dining spots. The hierba santa (Mexican pepperleaf) rolled around two cheeses are a great starter, and the goat's-cheese flan with figs, chocolate and honey is a perfect dessert. In between, try a fish fillet...
Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso
Mexico
　　Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco and David Siqueiros painted murals here in the 1920s. Most of the work on the main patio is by Orozco; look for the portrait of Hernán Cortés and his lover La Malinche underneath the staircase. The amphitheater, off the lobby, holds Rivera’s first mural, La...
Teotihuacán
Mexico
　　This fabulous archaeological zone lies in a mountain-ringed offshoot of the Valle de México. Site of the huge Pirámides del Sol y de la Luna (Pyramids of the Sun and Moon), Teotihuacán was Mexico's biggest ancient city and the capital of what was probably the country's largest pre-Hispanic empire. 　　The pyramidsThe...

Museo de la Tortura
Mexico
　　Displaying European torture instruments from the 14th to 19th centuries, including a metal-spiked interrogation chair and the menacing skull splitter, this museum has surefire appeal for the morbidly curious. Explanatory English text is a little short. Although kids get free entry, they might find the displays distressing. 　　No photography allowed....
Bósforo
Mexico
　　Blink and you might walk right past the coolest neighborhood mezcalería in town. Behind the Bósforo’s nondescript curtain await top-notch mezcals, an eclectic mix of music and surprisingly good bar grub in a dark and casual setting. ...
Museo del Tequila y el Mezcal
Mexico
　　This museum on Plaza Garibaldi has exhibits explaining the origins and production process of Mexico’s two most popular distilled agave drinks. The tour ends with a two-shot tasting on a rooftop bar (free admission) overlooking the plaza. An on-site store sells some decent, albeit overpriced, tequilas and mezcals. ...
Museo Memoria y Tolerancia
Mexico
　　A mazelike, unique museum of 55 halls dedicated to preserving the memory of genocide victims. The multimedia exhibit chronicles crimes committed against humanity in Cambodia, Guatemala, Sudan, Rwanda and former Yugoslavia, as well as those perpetrated during the Holocaust. Recent temporary exhibitions have focused on migration, misogyny, LGBT+ identity, and...
Mano Santa Mezcal
Mexico
　　Often compared to having a drink at home because of the cheap, quality mezcal (or because you live in a designer-school laboratory), this small bar quickly overflows with droves of the young and fashionable on weekends. 　　There's tacos, tortas and other Mexican bar food to line your stomach. ...
Museo de Arte Popular
Mexico
　　A major showcase for folk art, this is a colorful museum that even kids love. Crafts are thematically displayed from all over Mexico, including carnival masks from Chiapas, alebrijes (fanciful animal figures) from Oaxaca and a whole section dedicated to Day of the Dead. An illustrated wall map provides an...
