Tips for Dining, Eating, and Food Shopping in Mexico (including Mexico City, Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta)
Start New ThreadThis Sunday I'll fly to Mexico and will spend 16 days there.
It's my first time in Mexico and I'm still deciding my itinerary. I'm not that interested in DF and larger cities, I'd rather concentrate in visiting 2-3 of the most authentic regions. Nature, rural life and, of course, good food are my priorities.
Any suggestions/recos are more than welcomed!
Thanks in advance.

Thanks all for your comments and suggestions, much appreciated!
I'm Spanish, so language should not be a problem and used to trvel on my own, changing plans on the go, using public transport, sleep in good and worst places... I have just 16 days in Mexico, so I prefer to focus on 1-2 places, I like "wasting" time when travelling to adapt to the local pace of things. No problem with trying new/different foods, that's actually one of the things I like most, also learning some local cooking but not in cooking schools...
Not planning to spend a fortune, but ready to pay for what's tryly worth, for example a restaurant not to be missed.
I know DF deserves a trip on its own, but this time I prefer to relax a bit in quieter areas after a tough year with no holidays...
Thanks again!

Where are you flying to, in Mexico? Knowing the answer to where you'll start your journey will help when it comes to thinking about recommedations. No sense someone suggesting a favorite restaurant in los Cabos if you'll be arriving in Cancun. ;-)

I'll arrive to DF, from there I'll most probably travel towards Chiapas and Palenque, visiting Puebla, Oaxaca and the area of Puerto Escondido on my way. Thinking on flying back to DF from Villahermosa.
I guess this is reasonable for 16 days. Any special food related recommendations in these areas?
