I was back and hanging out with old friends still with me after more than 25 years continue my delights in Mexico city, toppled it all with a very nice evening and nice company in Zona Rosa,near the Royal hotel, at the corner of Hamburgo and Niza streets, there is El Lugar del Mariachi, its a restaurant with live music pop and mariachis alternatively, and a dance floor !!! This is right smack in tourist central so a bit high price but very good food, secure,and a very good group of musicians playing from pop to bolero to cha cha cha and then a group of mariachi singers playing their songs as well; a very good ambiance with romantic overtones or in family.

I have, also, stayed at the Segovia Regency Hotel ,avenida Chapultepec 328 . Actually, the anecdote here is that came with my boss who for some reason did not like the Royal Hotel and since he was paying, told him the hotel across the street , and he liked this one lol! This hotel at the time (need to check if still do) closed the front doors for security between midnight and 6h or 6am. So we needed clearance each time to get back in lol!

In the chic Polanco neighborhood, I have stayed at the wonderful Hotel Camino Real Polanco, a unique, and a most for comfort, service, amenities,location and loaded with 7 restos/bars plus pool at 28°C and exercise room. It is just off calles Mariano Escobendo and Liebnitz streets, across from bosque de Chapultepec and all its wonderful museums.Too chic to take pics!

At the above hotel I ate at the wonderful Centro Castellano restaurant that was inside the Hotel Camino Real , for a real Castilian Spain food and Spanish wines. Wonderful time indeed, Too chic to take pics ! Webpage: http://grupocastellano.com.mx/camino-real/
I was taken to a more rustic restaurant in a working class area , this was the El Paisa, it had a nice second floor terrace, a very nice welcome with lots of Mexicans families there; nice ambiance and great conversation with many. The area is nice around a corner, and serve in the terrace in the back upper level. It is best reach here by car; one of the places to go when you know the area and want to get away from it all. Here we had more goodies of the Mexican cuisine such as the alambre with meat and cheese melted sort like a pizza but chewy and yummy, pacifico beers and coffee expresso, first we had some chicharones and all good. I visited their branch on the Calzada Azcapotzalco – La Villa 1283, Montevideo, Gustavo A. Madero, CDMEX The RestaurantGuru reviews on El Paisa: https://restaurantguru.com/Taqueria-Betty-Mexico-City
A wonderful culinary delight was at Puerto Lapice, on a business lunch , fantastic filete tampiqueño real beef that was the plate with Mexican wine chateau Domecq. Located Norte 45 , Calle Presidente. 128 647, Industrial Vallejo, Azcapotzalco, CDMX, The RestaurantGuru reviews on Puerto Lapice: https://restaurantguru.com/Puerto-Lapice-Mexico-City
And, I had a great time with friends to see the Mexico vs El Salvador football.soccer match CONCACAF World Cup qualifying won easily by Mexico 3X0 at Hooters Universidad ,another of my old favorites ::) Great Indio beer and nachos snacks with cheese and the action was good with friendly crowd.

In another occasion, went to this wonderful steakhouse for lunch at Cambalache, an Argentine jewel small but all kinds of cuts beef that is, at Insurgentes Sur 1384, in Col. Del Valle. Webpage: http://www.cambalacherestaurantes.com/#insurgentes
And tried some familiar restaurants from Florida by doing some walking around in CDMEX to meet some old friends at the Olive Garden in the Patio Universidad mall; Av. Popocatépetl 546, Colonia Xoco, Del, Benito Juárez, CDMX, Here had ravioli stuff champignon and a great Trapiche malbec Argentinian wine, coffee nice, great memories! Again another memorable resto and good friends in Mexico city! Webpage: https://olivegardenmx.com/sucursales/
I did my usual trips around the place eating and enjoying the company of friends. I was taken by car to El Bajio, at the Patio Universidad mall Avenida Popocatepetl,546 (Eje 8 Sur), Colonia Xoco Del Benito Suarez CDMEX;another typical local foodie from the Veracruz cuisine. The food was great with panoches,chicharones, and the pork dish with black mole and sauce. Webpage: https://www.restauranteelbajio.com.mx/sucursales#item-18
