Food Scene
If you like ribs, pulled pork and other stuff that´s good for the soul (but bad for your heart), then this is where you want to go. The best ribs I´ve had in Mexico, by far and the pulled pork was exquisite. the fried broccoli was so-so.

Great place to eat breakfast or lunch, very reasonably priced bike themed place, if you like spicy salsa, order anything with red salsa, it is really good!

This is a great steak place in the Roma area. Very reasonably priced and high quality meat, I have gone there three times and walked away very happy each time. I've gotten the arranchera and the special, expensive corte 7 (a splurge, but worth it. super tasty).

It is totally hipster as well as its crowd. The food is great with innovative dishes. It is definitely worth visiting and the Mexican cuisine here excels but don't expect complex culinary dishes-they're quite basic: tacos, tortas and quesadillas...beans, cheese, sauces and meat are part of most dishes. Go for the tacos Parnita, the torta Parnita too.
