Tacos, por favor

We were thankful to get back to the hotel in two (mostly) dry pieces.  We marched up to the room and dropped off the cameras and Club América loot.  We were shocked and pleased to find the turn-down service had left us a chocolate!  That pretty much made my night.  What can I say?  I'm totally easy to please.

We headed back down to our lovely front desk men and asked them for a nearby taquería.  Considering our expense the night before (and considering that tacos are just about the best Mexican food you can get!), we were really looking forward to tacos.  They told us that we were about a five minute walk from really good tacos.  We grabbed a map and headed out the door.  As our doorman let us out, he asked if we'd like an umbrella.  It wasn't raining at the time, but it certainly looked like rain.  Why, yes.  As a matter of fact, we would like an umbrella.  Thanks.

We make our way through the very wet, but not crowded streets to the taquería.  The Saturday we arrived in DF was the end of the first week of Spring Break (Holy week).  Kids would have the following week off, too, but most adults had to work the week of Easter.  Because of this, Saturday and Sunday made the city look almost empty.  It actually was really nice!
We got to our taco place and it was a lot like SatCo in that you ordered by filling out the sheet that the waiter left you on the table.  I would come to find that this was a relatively common practice in DF.  Who knew?

We had had chicken for lunch, so we decided to split beef tacos and quesadillas. 

The tortillas in DF are much thicker and maybe whole grain, or at least made with different ingredients.  They're good, don't get me wrong, but I don't know that anywhere can compare to Culiacán food!

Afterwards, we decided to wander a bit.  The following is some sort of memorial.  We saw too much and I did too little writing (and it's been two weeks and I don't have my info in front of me) to remember which one it is.

But it was nice to just meander around the city at night.  Mexico City is a really cool place.  You can never see it all, I think, but it's fun to try!  Sunday was definitely a very successful day.
