The 27 Best Things to Do in Mexico City
"Early evening is churro time in Mexico City—families, couples, and friends all go out for a taste of sweet fried dough and chocolate. You'll often find lines snaking around the block outside this beloved churrería (churro shop). There are shops in Roma, Centro Historico, Condesa, Polanco, and Cuauhtémoc. Most have spiffy interiors with blue and white tile, bright lighting, and long communal tables. Watch the cooks dip, fry, and sugar-coat your long, spindly churro, which is paired with hot chocolate in a flavor of your choosing. With your order of churros (just 20 pesos), you get a cup of hot chocolate for dipping and sipping. There are a number of flavors to choose from: Spanish (the traditional approach, sweet and thick), Mexican (a lighter version), French (has a touch of vanilla), special (semi-sweet chocolate with cinnamon), light (light milk and no sugar), Swiss chocolate (with whipped cream), and choco mocha." - Scarlett Lindeman
