Mexico City is one of the world’s great food capitals, where some of the best meals cost a few pesos at a street stand and others are served in acclaimed dining rooms.

Mexico City’s food runs day and night. Mornings start with tamales and atole, afternoons with tacos at a market counter, and evenings in the leafy neighborhoods of Roma and Condesa, where mezcal bars and modern restaurants line the streets.

The city’s markets are its pantries: stalls of dried chiles, moles sold by weight, tropical fruit, flowers and fresh tortillas. Food here carries centuries of history, from ancient corn traditions to Spanish, Lebanese and modern influences.

It is a city that rewards curiosity, and the best way in is with someone who knows which stand to stop at.

Insider tip from Richard

Breakfast is the big meal for us in Mexico City. Go hungry, go early and go to a market.
