I love to use local guides to share with the people the places where I enjoy to eat! beacuse its incredible discover places by your own, buts I think that its best when you know that you are sure that your are going to have great experience!
In México city where I lived you can have all the differents kinds of food; since streetfood with tacos, pozole, quesadillas, tamales to fancy restaurants with international food; japanese, italian, greek, arabic, etc.
One of my favortie places is “Casa de Toño” a great mexican franchise with mexican food, its cheap, its fast and its delicious! also i a big fan of “Sushi” and “Kabuki Sushi” in “La Roma” its my favorite place to eat it. But if you have a romantic date “Cafe Madre” also in La Roma its a very unique place to have a great date.
