Travel in city Mexico

Banish thoughts of boring burritos and tasteless Tex Mex; it’s not just chillies that are making Mexican food hot right now. The country’s diverse cuisine is so good, it’s been granted UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status (French is the only other gastronomy), and there’s everything from tasty tacos to fine-dining fusion. Here are some of the country's best destinations for foodies.

The birthplace of world-renowned dishes including elotes, chilaquiles and birria, Mexico has earned abundant acclaim for its national cuisine, with no shortage of endemic ingredients and time-honored cooking styles coming together to form one truly spectacular mosaic of flavors. While the national capital of Mexico City is home to a wealth of can’t-miss dining destinations, the country is dotted with foodie-friendly municipalities spanning from the Baja Peninsula to the tip of the Yucatan. As you plan your next trip to Mexico, don’t miss out on these essential cities, each one offering the perfect blend of high-end gastronomy and ultra-flavorful street food.

Since 2022, when World's 50 Best first began ranking North America’s 50 Best Bars, New York City and Mexico City have vied for the top spot. Always the bridesmaid, CDMX's Handshake Speakeasy has earned second place for the last two years in a row (first trailing Attaboy, then Double Chicken Please—both beloved Lower East Side joints). This year, however, the Colonia Juarez cocktail bar takes first place at long last.

In a mountain town about three hours outside of Mexico City, I sat on the floor of a thatched-roof palapa with blankets wrapped around me as a facilitator (both a researcher and medicine woman) sang soothing chants. A few hours earlier, I had declared my intention for our ayahuasca journey—that I want to live a big, meaningful, impactful life and am willing to release anything that does not serve that vision. By the end of the ceremony, where I took about three cups of the brew during the six hours between sunset and dawn, the message I received was that life is meaningless—that I might as well do whatever I want while I’m here.

Coming home from a recent trip, I had the opportunity to transit through the brand-new Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport, located outside the increasingly popular Mexican Caribbean destination of Tulum in the state of Quintana Roo. 

Towering above the iconic “Diana the Huntress” fountain on Mexico City‘s bustling Paseo de la Reforma, the 31-story The St. Regis Mexico City is a dramatic landmark in the heart of the metropolis.

When Whistler entrepreneur Pepe Barajas first arrived in this Canadian mountain community in 2008, he hated it. Born and raised in Mexico City, Barajas found the area’s peaceful, relaxed pace to be frustratingly slow, a direct contrast to life in what he called Mexico’s “go, go, go” capital.

It is no secret that Mexico City's culinary fare is among the best in the world.

When the founder of Buenos Aires' most celebrated restaurant, Don Julio, invites you to spend a few days eating with him, you go. That's how Mexican chef Elena Reygadas found herself in Argentina last August. “Pablo [Rivera] told me, You don't have to cook, but I want you to see our most important day—the carneada," says Reygadas. "It's when he and his partner Guido [Tassi] kill the pigs and make salami for their restaurant, but it's also a party for the people they love."
