There is a chinese buffet that offers all you can eat for 8 bucks... I basically stuffed my face for one meal a day and had a small 1-2 meals for the rest of the day. This allowed me to eat for less than $12 a day.
Man, you went to Mexico City and went to a Chinese buffet every day? You can eat for a king and some of the best food in the world in DF for under $15 a day.
Yeah I'm offering it as an option, I'm not saying I did that exclusively but eating just tacos and mango cups gets pretty boring after while. That and the fact you basically have to murder someone to find a salad in D.F lol

Lol he must be tired of Mexican food
TS can you cook?
Have you gotten the 'shits' yet?
I can cook but I was in a hotel so I didn't have a kitchen. I ate out for my main meals and had fruits/snacks/water in my room. And yes the food is very good in Mexico but the thing about Canada is we have soooo many immigrants here I'm used to eating shawarma one day, pizza the next, pasta after that, then asian food. It can get kinda boring.
I got the shits when i was in P.V and D.F too lol. I got chinese food at this cheap place near the uni and was puking in the middle of the streets on the way home lmao. Needless to say it was ensalada y huevos from there on out.

Personally I would not recommend you stay in the Centro Historico in DF. It is fine during the day for seeing tourist sites but it is pretty much dead at night. DF is huge so getting around to the nightlife areas is a pain. Stay in Zona Rosa or Condesa. Tons of bars and places to eat there. DF is one of the most underrated cities in the world IMHO.
I was there for 4 weeks and loved every minute of it... But then again, I don't drink. I hate clubs. My friend has a theory that 90% of people at night venues aren't really having fun, I believe it.
The Centro is perfect, there's ALWAYS super cool performers like magicians, I have a video of a woman singing opera out of a 2nd story window at like 11PM on a Sunday night. There was a few hundred people watching. But if you don't like being far from night life.... I guess that isn't great because the traffic does suck in D.F.
As for being underrated... I agree. I was just in Medellin and think if you were to drop the beauty of those girls in the culture and atmosphere of D.F that would be my favourite city in the world. However I still think there's a good amount of cuties there.
