The menu includes four types of taco with beef or pork and two different sauces, because chef Arturo Rivera Martínez focuses more on the quality of the ingredients and the resulting taste experience. The corn tortillas are hand-made and freshly prepared. The award-winning Gaonero taco is made with thinly sliced fillet of beef, seasoned only with salt and a little lime juice – an extraordinary creation that rightly deserves a star. 2 Restaurant Limosneros Duration: 02:00 h · Price: $$$ Several years ago, the owners of the Café de Tacuba opened the Limosneros just a few steps from the Chamber of Deputies. This gourmet restaurant, beautifully appointed in modern Mexican style, has fast gained a reputation of being one of the best in town. The choice is not easy given the rich menu – should it be chicken with walnut and Puebla chili sauce or does the scale tip to spareribs with agave syrup? However you decide, do not forget to leave some room, because the selection of ice creams is also highly recommended. 3 Restaurant Café de Tacuba Duration: 01:30 h · Price: $$ The Café de Tacuba restaurant was inaugurated in 1912 in the heart of Mexico City near the Plaza de la Constitución and is now part of the traditional gastronomy of Mexico City.

Hardly anyone understands the significance of the floating gardens as a vegetable and flower garden and important lungs of Mexico City. Experience close up everything about the various development stages of the “chinampas,” their fortification by plants of the willow family and the cultivation of the fertile “floating fields”. In the small research center of the indigenous community, we will marvel at the axolotl (a caudate of the mole salamander family) which is worshipped by the Aztecs and which is now threatened with extinction due to the introduction of the tilapia.
