Restaurants  

Gampas: Eat local!

Gampas: Eat local!, México

 Davart Says:  Gampas has without a doubt GREAT food and wonderful service. I'm a big believer in when in Rome do as the Romans do, so I eat nothing but local food. While there try the street vendors and the little hole in the wall places, often they have the best food at the best prices....

Watch Your Bags

Watch Your Bags, México

 Etoile2B Says:  I know this goes without saying, but watch your bags. Especially in a crowded city like this. A friend of mine travelling in the group with us had some things stolen out of his backpack that he had under his arm on the subway. They slashed his bag with a razor (we assume... 

Tourist Traps  

Name brand goods

Name brand goods, México

 Davart Says:  Mexico is only slightly behind China in ripoff products and look alikes. Tommy Hill, Gucci, Rolex, LV, you name it and the chance of it being a fake is high. Know you're likely buying a fake, and offer a price that says I know this is a fake so stop telling me it the real...
