Guadalajara - Try These Places
Personally, I prefer Kamiloz 33 to Karnes Garibaldi, Kamiloz is on the same block, around the corner from Garibaldi in the Santa Teresita Neighborhood.
The tacos de barbacoa fritos from El Amigo (corner of Plan de San Luis and Diaz de Leon, closed Sundays) are excellent.
Good fish tacos at Avenida La Paz near Federalismo.
Las Hermanas Coraje at Gobernador Curiel near the Mexico-Nogales train track.
El Farallon de Tepic in the Mercado Libertad (San Juan de Dios) has good Nayarit-style seafood cocktails, ask for your cocktail served caliente (hot, actually warm) .
Decent sushi from Miriam and El Gordo in the Estancia Neighborhood, Avenida Bach between Patriotismo and Rafael Sanzio.
mexico city recommendations
Getting around the DF is a bitch. Do you know in what part of the city you'll be mostly, Polanco, Lomas, Downtown, Southern Mexico City, Condesa/Roma/Zona Rosa.
It's a big place so here's my brief list for Central and Southern Mexico City:
Tortas
------
1) El Monje Loco
Mixcoac Area
2) Hipocampo
Universidad or Insurgentes Sur.
Tacos
-----
1) El Charro de la Ranas
Mixcoac, Periferico Sur, Downtown. High end tacos.
2) El Gallito
Southern Insurgentes. Guisado Tacos, think excellent home-cooking leftovers
3) El Tizoncito
Miramontes. Tacos al carbon, very hot sauces
Markets
-------
1) Coyoacan Food Market, the one in the Coyoacan Civic Center,
by the Guadalupana Cantina, for Mexico City Style Deep-fried Quesadillas
2) Coyoacan Market by La Malinche, Good fonda food, late summer fall is Chile en Nogada Season
3) Mercado San Angel like above.
Exotica
-------
1) Fonda Don Chon in the La Merced Neighborhood, Downtown Mexico City, pre-Columbian Oaxaxan cuisine: venison, iguana
2) Arroyo or Enrique
Insurgentes Sur
