Breakfast in Mexico

Start the day off with a good breakfast! The Café El Popular is one of my favorite spots for a typical Mexican breakfast.

El Popular - One of the great simple eateries in downtown Mexico City

About a dozen breakfast combinations are offered every day. For only $61MEX ($4.50 US), I got a large café con leche, a plate of fruit, and chicken enchiladas in green sauce. El Popular may easily be where I start everyday just so I can try all of the delicious looking breakfast entrees.

The Small Pleasures of Life Are Often The Sweetest

I believe that my brother Bob's favorite stop in Mexico City was the pastry shop (yes, mine too!). After several visits to the city, I've located some of the best sweets the city has to offer. From the fancy to the plain, nearly every taste and inclination can be easily satisfied.

How Can Anyone Just Pick One?

Of course we all have our favorites, if you see Bob, ask him about his daily affair with the famous "cinnamon log". Since I bought one to photograph, I guess it's my responsibility to make sure it doesn't go to waste.

Goodie after goodie, it's sometimes hard to make a decision.
