Built over what used do be the Aztec capital city of Tenochtitlan and the center of the Aztec empire, Mexico City emerged as the capital of New Spain under the Spanish Empire.
Mexican cuisine is about Aztec and native foods, Spanish and European foods — and the glorious fusion of the two, perfected over centuries.

You’ve no doubt heard great things about Mexico City. But with a population of over 22 million people and a land area exceeding three thousand square miles, the Greater Mexico City sprawl can seem daunting to visitors. And unlike major European cultural centers, very little English is printed, posted or spoken in Mexico City.
The Mexico City Cocktail Experience is by far the greatest way to skip the tourism and dive deeply into the authentic culture of this great city in comfort, safety and a local’s knowledge about the very best of everything.
