Lovely. Going on an adventure on my own. However, I soon had little fiducy in the route that the app indicated. I mean, get off at that and that metro stop and walk two hundred meters to go to another metro stop with a different name, which Google Maps doesn't know? That seems particularly illogical to me. Anyway, I didn't realize that until I was on the subway. All of a sudden, I'm in a very vague neighborhood of Mexico City. Busy, chaotic road, plenty of activity, delightfully squeaky streets and absolute obscure. Blow your mind, but it's something new. I'm excited right away.

Soon I see a taco business that is well filled with people. A man in his 70s does the dishes in the middle of that case. That sight moves me, that attracts me: I go inside.

Now a lot is told about tacos. 'The best' does not exist, because that changes every day. Recommendates are difficult to point out. In fact, the golden rule is: when it's busy, it'll probably be worth it. It's busy here, so I can cross it off.

Still, the price also matters. Too expensive is not good, too cheap certainly not at all. Always assume somewhere between fifteen and fifty pesos. Because ten pesos (42 cents) for a taco? These are tacos for the poorest, which are often found in the vicinity of metro stops. There are two drawbacks to tacos of this price. For example, it could be meat from a stray dog, instead of a pig. That cleans up so well and is easy to catch. Argh.

So these are ten pesos and so I take tracing wrist height at the other tables. I don't think it barks and wags. Anyway, grumbling doesn't do it either. The seventy comes to me, I'm just ordering three. In hope of blessing. Everything on it? Well, of course.

I'm looking around. The cash register is so old that the man no doubt got it from his father. The tacos taste fine. This doesn't seem like a stray dog. In fact, I'm still hungry and I'll have another threesome. With my tummy filled, I'll continue my way a little later. Back to the metro and this time with a significantly more logical route.
Oh, yeah, I was talking about two drawbacks. It's now almost 9:00 in the morning and I'm considering going to the toilet almost for the sixth time this morning. Note to myself: take the advice of locals seriously.
