This place has amazing Mexican food, especially if you want to be adventurous and try out insects, which is a culinary dish in Mexico, try out Escamoles or Gusanos de Maguey, you will be surprised how amazing they taste. And this place cooks them amazing. They are only open on the weekends. Also, barbacoa tacos are the speciality, don’t miss out !

El Hidalguense is the place to go for barbacoa (Mexican barbecue): lamb rubbed simply, wrapped in maguey leaves and smoke-roasted in a pit. The meat is cooked in the nearby state of Hidalgo (hence teh restaurant's name) because Mexico City doesn't have the huge fire pits necessary; the maguey leaves ensure the freshness in transit. The smoky meat is ordered by weight (a half-kilo serves four), wrapped in tortillas and served with salsas, coriander, onion and cheese. Open Fridays and weekends.
