MEX Know Before You Go: Pt 3 🇲🇽🌮
Traveling to Mexico City soon? Here are some things to Know Before You Go on DINING 😊
🇲🇽 Make reservations in advance for restauarants and bars!
🇲🇽 English is mostly spoken in front desks and restaurants, but most staff we came across mostly spoke Spanish so it helps to be familiar with certain phrases
🇲🇽 The most expensive restaurants aren’t usually the best, IMO
🇲🇽 Try salsas 1 “dot” at a time, especially if you have low spice tolerance
🇲🇽 When asked still or sparking, ask for filtered water. We once paid $190 for a bottle of still water in one of Enrique Olvera’s restaurants. Which is just crazy.
Save these for future reference!

When visiting Mexico City, particularly for dining, there are key considerations to keep in mind. Reservations at popular restaurants, especially on weekends, can greatly enhance your dining experience. Many dining establishments often have staff that speak English, but you might find that assistance in Spanish can be essential in certain situations. Familiarizing yourself with simple phrases related to food ordering will help you navigate menus and communicate effectively. It’s also noteworthy that luxury often does not equate to quality in dining experiences; some of the best food can be found in less expensive venues. Mexican cuisine boasts a variety of salsas to enjoy, and if you're hesitant about spice levels, it's wise to try just a small amount at first. Additionally, when ordering water, opting for filtered options can prevent unexpected charges. Diners have reported exorbitant prices for bottled water, so it’s always good to inquire first. These tips should help you make the most of your culinary adventures while traveling through Mexico City.
