352230 4 Location 521238 <p>Bar La Ópera and Cafe Tacuba were the two places I really wanted to visit whilst in Mexico City, so I spent lunch here, and then dinner in the evening at Cafe Tacuba.</p><p>After only a short stroll from my hotel - approx. 10 minutes - at Alameda Central, I arrived at the restaurant, which I walked past at first glance.&nbsp; I was expecting something fancy outside, but it looks fairly normal outside - all the fancy work is inside.</p><p>My experience here mirrored my Mexico City experiences - no waiters spoke English, and I spoke 0% Spanish.&nbsp; Fortunately they had English menus, and I was able somehow to find out what their specialities were - some kind of pork dish, and the one I chose, Mexican Beef Fillets (not the actual name of the dish!).&nbsp; Not too spicy, and quite filling.&nbsp; I quite enjoyed the meal.&nbsp; Tried a Michelada for drink - basically a Corona, with a glass containing lime juice with it, and salt around the edge of the glass.&nbsp; Not a big fan, but I did like the Corona.&nbsp; Not a big beer or wine drinker, but I really liked Mexican beers - not bitter, and quite tasty.</p><p>My book told me also to look out for a bullet hole in the ceiling, supposedly made by Pancho Villa, a Mexican revolutionary.</p> 2006-12-09T10:01:47-08:00 811598020 2006-11-22T16:00:00-08:00 0 18 141654 3051432 352230 0 0.0391462863483322 2006-11-18T16:00:00-08:00 Published 20.0 2006-12-09T10:10:59-08:00 97514 0
