Written by a resident gastronome who knows the city inside and out, this guide takes the reader to out-of-the-way market stalls, taco joints, as well as fashionable high-end dining spots. Included are chapters on bars and cantinas, cafés, and food shopping, and short essays on various aspects of Mexican cuisine and its history. Clear maps of the city, as well as an extensive glossary of ingredients, dishes and cooking terms are provided, making this an easy to use guide to the best food in a great city. "Finally! The book I have been hunting for: a foodie's guide to the culinary wonders of one of the largest, most culturally-diverse cities in the world. This compact, easy-to-follow book has something to tempt every palate, from under-the-highway taco stands to cutting edge haute cuisine. Ceci Connolly, The Washington Post "An essential book for those who discover history and culture, tradition and trends, through their taste buds." David Lida, author of Travel Advisory "If you can't have the knowledgeable Mr. Gilman as your personal guide, this book is the next best thing." Meredith Brody, restaurant critic, SF Weekly "Nick Gilman's book is a treasure, an insider's guide through the super-cool, super-tasty side of Mexico City. There's no guide book like this."

Alegria 8 out of 8 found this review helpful As a cultural/culinary tour guide in Mexico City I have depended on my own notes and various other sources for my information (www.mexicosoulandessence.com). Now it's all in one small but BIG book. For Mexico City aficionados, at last a comprehensive guide to eating out in the D.F. ( Distrito Federal) . With an insiders knowledge Nicolas Gilman takes you from street food to Alta Cocina Mexicana. Everything you need including maps, current phone numbers and street directions. You can't get lost, you won't be disappointed! Finally! A GREAT Guide!   December 1, 2007 N. Lucero (Mexico City) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful We've been waiting for this one for years...a guide for foodies who want REAL Mexican food in Mexico. I's a one-of-a-kind and a must for visitors to the capital. I also highly recommend Mexico City: An Opinionated Guide for the Curious Traveler Good Eats   December 7, 2007 Karen T. Gadbois (New Orleans, LA United States) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful Nick not only knows how to eat he knows how to cook. He has a sharp eye and a great palate. One of the great mysteries in a large City is where to eat. Nick solves the mystery for you. All foodies will appreciate this!   December 7, 2007 M. Morgenstern 5 out of 5 found this review helpful What a great insider's look at the best food in Mexico City. Any traveler to Mexico will appreciate this guide for pointing you in the direction of interesting and delicious food. The author really knows how to find the treats! I'm Getting Hungry   July 27, 2008 gr8reader 4 out of 4 found this review helpful This is the book I was hoping for. My best memories of Mexico tend to be of and around food. Planning another trip to Mexico City, I've been through the mainstream guidebooks, which are generally out of date and written at "arm's distance" from the food, the restaurants and the people who prepare it. Not the case with this book. I now have more options for great food than I will have time to exercise. Cantinas that serve free botanas (appetizers) with drinks? Yes. Particularly good food stalls in the mercados? Check. Maybe a quality Spanish restaurant in El Centro? Got it. Let's see, I know one night I'll want birria for dinner. Luckily Taqueria Tlaquepaque is around the corner from my hotel, and it's open until 9 p.m. If you're going to visit Mexico City (or live there now) and like good food, buy this book. For making reservations at fine dining restaurants to finding a great cup of coffee on the spur of the moment, this book can't be beat. Showing reviews 1-5 of 15 1 2 3 Next »
