The guide was particularly strong in elucidating Mexico City cuisine, uncovering the old and established as well as the new and trendy, along with plenty of classic hole-in-the-wall spots where locals eat. Moon covered entertainment venues much better than the competition as well.

The book includes brilliant background history section, and I liked the way additional city history was woven throughout the book in digestible portions.

A remarkable first edition. Though I probably haven't read every single guide to Mexico City ever published, I doubt the Mexican capital has ever been covered this well. Kudos to the authors.
