Eat Azcapotzalco & Colonia Tránsito
These two residential areas seldom see tourists but are well worth visiting for anyone looking to eat like a local.
In the quiet middle-class Azcapotzalco neighborhood, enjoy traditional Mexican cuisine at Nicos, then grab some drinks in El Dux de Venecia, an atmospheric century-old cantina in the borough’s city center.
In Colonia Tránsito, a fairly safe working-class neighborhood, El Gran Abanico slings some of the best carnitas in town.
