The Mija Chronicles

Mexican food and culture, on both sides of the border

Mexico City

I lived in Mexico City for four years, from 2009-2013. Even though I live in New York City now (Queens represent), I still visit often. Please feel free to browse my Mexico City restaurant reviews, my round-up of the city’s street food and tacos, and my quest to find the capital’s best concha.

If you’re new in Mexico City, you might find the Expat Life section helpful, which has tips on finding taxis, what to do when your water gets shut off, and how to ride a bike safely.
