restaurant recommendations from Miguel

Restaurant wise, some traditional references (you can google the
"severals"):
- Rey Del Cabrito (Barrio Antiguo, Av. Constitución #817)
- or Gran San Carlos, for cabrito and traditional north-of-mexico food
(several)
- El Gaucho, all around best steak house (Arroyo Seco #100, Col. Arroyo
Seco)
- La Mejico, best place for contemporary mexican cuisine (Plaza
Tanarah Local 144, Ave. Vasconcelos)
- A-K-B, traditional street flautas, enchiladas, etc. (Plaza
Vasconcelos, Av. Vasconcelos #633 Pte.)
- and La Purísima, best traditional "granielotes" corn.. snack.. thing
(several)
>>
Some decent, commonly found fast food types:
- Super Salads, pretty decent salads and sandwiches
- Gorditas Doña Tota, traditional corn flour "gorditas"
- Las Alitas, pretty decent hot wings
>>
Personal favorites (top three, no particular order):
- Sushi-Itto, excellent place for sushi with some mexican cuisine (several)
- Ali Baba, favorite place to get falafels (Centrito Valle, Río
Grijalva #206 L-12)
- Taiwan Cuisine, hands down best dumplings I've ever had, but a
somewhat remote, niche place (Simón Bolivar #1840-A, Col. Mitras)

Wife's favorites:
- Delicias del Contry, hands down best cakes (their mango or
strawberry rolls, in particular)
- Freddos, best "chamoyadas" frozen chamoy drinks (Plaza Las Rocas
L-2, Av. Vasconcelos #200)
- Neuquen, contemporary Argentinian cuisine (several)
- Lo Spuntino, italian fine dining (Plaza 404 Local B-1, Av. Gómez Morín
#404)
