Groceries and Markets

Posh little "market" with lots of options. Great fresh clams, great ice cream, sandwiches, bakeries... a little bit of everything.

Perfect place to get fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers, meat, fish, nuts, cheeses, and even Cuban ice cream! Try the juice stand Las Delicias for an amazing variety of fresh fruit juices and smoothies. They'll basically make anything you want. I like the "jugo verde" personally, or the mango-orange-strawberry juice. Get a full liter of freshly made juice for about $2. One of the things I miss most while I'm away.

This organic produce and local goods market sets up on Sundays on the corner of Orizaba and Antonio M. Anza. Good place to get mezcal in cool bottles, Mexican chocolate, and other goodies. Skip breakfast and eat at one of their stands!

Everything Else

Organic garden with spaces to hang out and frequent street fairs, food trucks, and events. Produce for sale. This is a space that was set up in the empty lots left by fallen buildings from the '85 earthquake, and it's really an awesome place to go spend an afternoon. Take a book and enjoy the green!

Food Food Food (and Dessert)

From holes in the wall to fancy restaurants, these are some of my favorite places to eat in the neighborhood.
This place has become a hipster mecca, but when you taste their specials you'll know why. Call for a reservation or show up early (about 1pm Mexican time). The soups are amazing. These are the type of tacos you'll have trouble finding anywhere else. I miss this place like crazy when I'm out of the country. $$

$135 pesos for a "comida corrida" (fixed price meal that includes a soup, rice or salad, entrée, agua fresca, and small dessert) or 2 x 1 tacos after 8 p.m. make this a favorite. Their specialty is "tacos de guisado."

One of the best French restaurants in the city (second only to their second restaurant of the same name in Coyoacán). Run by a French family with decades of restauranting experience. Really quite fairly priced for the level of restaurant (high value).

Favorites Outside of the Neighborhood

Some of my favorites outside of the immediate neighborhood.
The original location, and a great place to go after drinks in the Centro neighborhood. The location isn't as fancy as the new spots but you can't beat this place for authenticity. Nice greasy pastor tacos right next door.

Useful Shops (Pharmacies, Covid Testing, Office Supplies, Photos, etc.)

Office and art supply store with copy, printing, and scanning services. For better karma and faster service, use the "mom and pop" copy and printing services right across the street, but do check this place out if you're looking for a place to buy paper, pens, wrapping paper, art supplies, notebooks, envelopes, folders, binders, etc.

Inexpensive and efficient place for Covid testing.
