Cerveceria Fausto
Hip craft brewery with a large outdoor beer garden under the Metro tracks. Beers are much better than most craft breweries in the region because the brewery has lagering facilities and can produce a wider range of beers with cleaner flavor profiles. Some of the best are their dopplebock and a schwartzbier. Dogs are allowed. Occasional live music. Food trucks on site (particularly on weekends).

Tacos El Compadre
Tacos El Muerto
Basic street taco stand favored by locals for more than 50 years. Recommended by the Michelin Guide. Tortillas are lightly coated in oil and toasted before being stuffed with your choice of fillings including picadillo, ham, guisado con chile rojo, or the specialty of the house (or shack, as the case may be): cabeza de res (steamed cow's head).
