Foodie Mexico City Vlog | It's NOTHING Like I Expected

Mexico City Vlog: Mexico City travel is NOTHING like I expected. I was to experience the DF during a layover in Mexico City. It isn't a twin sister of Chicago, but it's definitely in the family. After a few minutes in the capital, you'll quickly see the resemblance:
* Beautiful, vibrant people
* Irresistible Street markets
* A gangster reputation, just dangerous enough to scare away some
* Another similarity is the food, one of the most amazing culinary scenes in the world.
This last point is really why I'm here. We've been in Mexico for a week, but in the Yucatán- that peninsula has its own unique cuisine and culture. Frankly, I haven't had a great taco since I got here. Mexico City is going to fix that for me. I hope.
Come with me for a five-hour layover in Mexico’s capital. ❤️

    Tremendous Capital!. Fascinating country, art, history, culture and gastronomy. Mexico has the largest number of World-Heritage sites in the Americas recognized by UNESCO. Cheers!

    Esperan que los secuestre una banda de narcos y los vendan como esclavos en Corea del Norte. Creen que los tacos saben a tierra y piedras o que comemos insectos vivos. Están convencidos que mental y físicamente vivimos en 1943 llevado serenatas a medio mundo... Todo esto o peor y aún así compran sus boletos, hacen sus reservaciones y luego sus videos de "not what I expected".
