- [Narrator] The first thing about Mexico City

that will grab you is the city's immense sprawl.

The second thing is the food.

(upbeat music)

The street food of Mexico City reflects the ingredients

of the entire country and history

that spans hundreds of years.

(upbeat music)

In the neighborhood of Juárez,

you can find an ingredient that at first glance,

may seem off-putting; but, it turns out, corn fungus

is a Mexican flavor to be reckoned with.

Head toward the Anthropology Museum

and down a pedestrian walk, and you'll find Ana,

selling Dorilocos, a dish

that certainly lives up to its name.

A 10 minute cab ride later can find you eating

some of the best octopus you've ever had.

You can't miss this vendor

because his cart takes up half the sidewalk.

In the neighborhood of Hipódromo,

there is one street corner you can't miss

because the tortas here are said to be some

And finally, back in Juárez,

with a few stools and a dish that you can smell
