Mexico City is the capital of infinite food and it’s normal that you don’t know what, where and how to eat, but there are unwritten rules that help and improve the experience of taquear<\/em> at the curb. Follow them and discover your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it smells good and you crave it, that’s the place!<\/strong> Also, check that everything is clean and fresh: meat in good condition, fresh limes, and cooks who don’t handle money with ungloved hands. If there are a lot of people or lines, trust! Use your instincts and common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
