Itinerary: EatMx.com
This article was posted in 2013, but its suggestions are solid.
L.A. Cetto - Las Nubes - Torre Alegre y Familia
On a side note, I'm not sure what is going on with EatMx.com's seo, because search engines do not surface their posts very often. Which is a shame because it has a lot to offer.
