After a long leisurely lunch at Pujol, we had a brief break to walk around the PLULANCO neighborhood. Despite the fact we were all still full from lunch, it was time to head over for an evening street food tour. We were all wondering how we were ever going to be able to enjoy the street foods of Mexico City after such a big lunch, but after our first street taco, those fears quickly vanished. Suddenly we were all hungry again and had no trouble enjoying the taste of Mexico Cities nightly street vendor offerings.
After a few stops, it was time to head to the oldest pup in Mexico City, located in the Chinatown neighborhood. Women were not allowed in the pub until 1982. There was basically a trough around the bar for men to spit and pee. Of course it is no longer in use, now that women are classing up the joint.
A few more stops to eat and then we ended the night with a mescal tasting. Not sure I've developed a fine enough pallet to enjoy the subtleties of fine mescal varieties just yet but have a feeling there's more mescal in my future on this trip.
It was a long day, a late night but one filled with delicious food, great friends old and new, and good times!
