Solo Diners?

[dabbler]

Hello -
I'm in D.F. for a week for work and am wondering if anyone has advice for a single, female diner that loves food and has a moderate level of Spanish ability. I'm staying in Cuauhtemoc, if that matters, and I'd prefer Mexican food..
Thanks for any help!

Hi there!
Are you still there? Where could you go? The fact is that I moved from the big city five years ago...sooo...I'm also kind of lost...
Mmm. I just asked a friend...let's see ...

La cantina de Los Remedios is on Rio Tiber 113, a good friend of mine tells me is really good but you will probably see a lot of people drinking more than eating.

When I used to go out for dinner in Mexico City I used to go to Coyacán, to the main Plaza. I was never dissapointed.

But I found this for you, perhaps you can find more ideas there:

Good luck!

I'm probably way too late on this one, but just in case someone else has the same issue in the future...

I live in Cuauhtemoc, and my favorite Mexican place is Tacos El Caminero on Rio Lerma, behind the American Embassy. Truly fabulous salsas there, and beer in chilled glasses. Outside of that, I'd walk to some of the other nearby neighborhoods, because most of the nice restaurants in Cuauhtemoc are Argentinean. (Unless you want street food, in which case, Tacos Don Guero at the corner of Rio Lerma and Guadalquivir is awesome.)

Here are three other places I'd recommend: Cantina Belmont in Col. Juarez is a short walk from Cuauhtemoc, and they've got fabulous tableside salsa and cool things like quesadillas de sesos. It's kind of pricey, but the food is good. Bisquets Obregon on Calle Londres in the Zona Rosa would be great for breakfast. The food is average, but all the dishes are typically Mexican, and they've got wonderful coffee.

Tacos El Caminero is pretty good. I was there recently with 3 other people. We all ordered something different and mixed, matched and shared. All of them were pretty decent,unfortunately I don't remember exactly what we ordered. Counter guys were really nice and amused at our indecision at what to order. The menu options were long, varied and rather varied. We sat at one of the tables out in front and heard Greman and Japanese in addition to our English and Spanish.

I'm probably going to go to Papa Beto Jazz Bar later this month. On the map it looks like Tacos El Caminero is a short walk--is that correct?

[DiningDiva]

I'm sorry, I can't answer that question. I am not familiar with Papa Beto Jazz Bar, so I don't know what it's proximity to El Caminero is. El Caminero is, more or less, in back of the American Embassy on Rio Lerma between Rio Danubia and Rio Tiber if that helps any.

It's on Villalongin between Interior & Tigris. It looks like I just walk straight up Tigris. Thanks.

I have the same request except that I will be in the Paseo de la Reforma in Colonia Juarez and would like recommendations for evening meals. I'll be in Mexico City the week of January 18.
