My reservations for a 3-day four day trip Mexico. Is this a good itinerary, too ambitious or overrated?
So I impulse-booked a trip to Mexico City for Juneteenth weekend using credit card points that I wanted to burn. It's my first international vacation in over a year. I was laid off for about half of last year and started a new job at the beginning of this year, so I've been a bit more budget conscious. That's why I skipped many of the expensive tasting menu spots. I tried to keep the total food budget for the weekend to around the price of a single meal at Quintonil (about 6,000 MXN).
- Friday: Comal Oculto (lunch), Gaba (dinner), Handshake Bar (night)
- Saturday: Masala y Maíz (lunch), Baldío (tasting menu), Hanky Panky Bar
- Sunday: Entremar, Taquería Orinoco, Bar Mauro (walk-in)
- Monday: Nicos, then the Amex Lounge before my 11:30 PM flight
I know some of the bars also serve food, but I'm only going for the drinks.
