Mexico City is full of contrasts, culture and lots of gastronomy, which is why it is not only in the sights of local foodies but also international ones. The American media Eater, related to food and gastronomy, published an entry dedicated to the 38 essential restaurants in CDMX.
This list includes the obvious and the overexposed; it also includes hidden gems. It covers long-running neighborhoods like Roma and Condesa, as well as newer destinations like San Miguel Chapultepec and Juárez.
