Krystal is standing in front of a wooden fence with string lights hung. She is wearing a black silk tee and holding a golden, hazy beer and smiling while looking left.

Flavors of Mexico: A Mexico City Food Guide

Alyssa holds a juice in Mexico City

Mexican food is vastly underrated. It might be due to the fact that, in other countries, it has been so altered from its original form that it is rendered almost unrecognizable.
