This week, thanks to a link sent by a friend and previous guest, we at CB Mexico City were pleasantly surprised to open the New York Times website and see a familiar face beaming at me. It was Dirk Kinet, the designer and resident of the house in Centro Historic where we spent an unforgettable evening together eating delicious snacks and learning about mezcal as we sipped at a variety of bottles.

Sopes are antojitos (bites) made of corn. It could have different dimensions. These are standard tortilla size. Right after cooked on comal must be pinched on the edge and in the middle so it can hold ingredients. Ingredients can be just sauce. Tipically are served with a refried beans layer, onions, lettuce and your favorite sauce smashed in molcajete. Today México celebrates Independence Day! ¡Viva México!

CB México City Taco Safari There is a very popular taco corner in the heart of Colonia Obrera. The area is well known for being the CDMX's marketing district. Here you can make a T-Shirt printed with your business logo or your daughter's Quinceañera Party Invitation. From a banner to a mug, etcetera. But then people need to to eat. We all mneed to eat. At Taquería Ron Lauro you will find the classic ones. But for adventurers and foodies they serve machitos and marrow tacos, considered a supreme delicacy. And if your'e looking for a mystic experience: you better order "Bomba", a tutti-frutti combo with steak, sausage, tripe and marrow. ¡Buen provecho!
