Editorial Reviews

Review
"An essential book for those who discover history and culture, tradition and trends, through their taste buds." -David Lida, --Travel Advisory

"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 --The Washington Post

"If you can't have the knowledgeable Mr. Gilman as your personal guide, this book is the next best thing." -Meredith Brody --SF Weekly

Product Description
This is a little book with a big purpose: to put Mexico City on the map as one of the great food capitals of the world. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Food in Mexico City: A Guide to Food Stalls,Fondas,and Fine Dining, November 28, 2007
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! A GREAT Guide!, December 1, 2007
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
