Two lovely lunches in CDMX

Bill and I found good food wherever we went in CDMX (Ciudad de México/Mexico City).
One Saturday morning we walked for hours exploring our neighbourhood (Roma Norte). When we walked past El Inicio Restaurante we noticed that the food on the tables looked exceptionally tasty.
We sat down on the small patio and placed our orders. I went to wash my hands. I liked the cheerful floor tiles.
This is two corn tortillas covered in cheese and egg and a salsa verde (green peppers, chilies and herbs).
Cut it open to find refried beans inside. Mexicans excel at comfort food.
The beer is always served ice cold. Bill had a freshly squeezed orange juice also served ice cold.
Watched over by our little friend at the next table
we tucked into our lunch
and observed the passing scene on the lively Avenue Álvaro Obregón.
A week later, after a visit to the Casa Azul (Frieda Kahlo Museum) we explored the Coyoacan neighbourhood. Bill had read good things about La Casa de los Tacos nearby.
The front door was open
and Tacos were being prepared to order.
The interior is unpretentious and the prices are low. The food is very tasty.
Bill ordered the cod in salsa verde with refried beans and rice. Ice cold lemonade on the side.
I had a flattened chicken breast with beans and guacamole. Ice cold beer.
We liked the fresco on the wall of the restaurant.
La Casa de los Tacos. Something yummy in Coyoacan.
