In 2017, Eater published its first travel package dedicated to an international destination — and it should surprise no one that it focused on Mexico City, where stellar meals, snacks, and sips engulf the 570-square-mile metropolis. So for the next installment in our series of travel books published by our partners at Abrams — and following in the footsteps of New York, Los Angeles, and Paris — we excitingly turn our attention back to CDMX.
The Eater Guide to Mexico City unpacks the sprawling city by breaking it down into seven chapters. Each delivers the considered, whip-smart, locally curated restaurant recommendations you’ve come to expect from Eater, along with histories and glossaries that put the tamales and pozoles you’re eating into eye-opening (and mouth-watering) context. And let us lead you to the best dining experiences throughout the city, whether it’s eating tours, late-night bites, vegan and vegetarian options, tacos, comida corrida, and so much more. Because you’ll need to kill time between meals, there are shopping guides, not only to mercados and provisions shops, but places to buy unperishable souvenirs.
CDMX, uniquely shaped by history, migration, and tradition, is indisputably one of the world’s best cities for dining out. This guide, beautifully illustrated by Eliane Mancera and highlighting the expertise of our on-the-ground team of contributors, is as vibrant as the city itself. Whether you’ve already booked your upcoming trip, are a frequent Mexico City visitor, or are just looking for a little armchair inspiration, this book will transport you there.
The Eater Guide to Mexico City publishes September 16 and is available for pre-order now!
