__NOTOC__
You can find almost any kind of food in Mexico City#Eat|Mexico City, specialties from all regions of Mexico, as well as international cuisine are represented.
===Argentinian/Uruguayan===
Argentinian and Uruguayan food is what happens when Italian cuisine meets large steppes suitable for ranching cattle. The result is some of the world's best steaks, huge portions of extremely tender beef roasted over charcoal, often with pasta, provolone cheese, and various fried potatoes as starters/sides. The traditional condiment is chimichurri - minced parsley, garlic, shallots, and various other herbs and spices in olive oil.
*'''El Cambalache''', Insurgentes Sur, (''Close to the corner with Felix Cuevas, Col. Del Valle''). M-Su. One of the city's absolutely best Argentinian restaurants, although quite on the pricy side. If you really love steaks, go here. Some variant of arrachera is bound to be good, also the salads are great. Extensive bar. MXP300-600.
*'''La Rural''', Insurgentes Sur, (''Corner with Georgia, Col. Napoles''). M-Su. Rivaling El Cambalache both in quality and price, but with somewhat more swanky service (having three or four waiters at your table is not uncommon). Try the arrachera, and the inflated potatoes. MXP300-600.
===Asian===
Mexico has seen several waves of immigration from Asia through the last 100 years, and every ethnic group that comes to Mexico eventually makes its way to Mexico City. Asian restaurants are abundant, and the quality is good (Korean, Japanese and Chinese are most common, Indian, Thai and Indonesian can be harder to find).
*'''Sushi Bar Miyajima''', (''A block from Insurgentes, behind the Congo dance club, Col. Del Valle''), M-Th 11AM-11PM, Fr-Sa 11AM-1AM. Some of the best sushi in the city, relatively low priced. Try the Luna Maki, or the "Dinamita", a foil-wrapped and baked pile of seafood, cream, and herbs. MXP120-300.
*'''Taro''', Avenida Universidad (needs number) (''a block and a half from Miguel Ángel de Quevedo, going towards the UNAM campus, across the street from the Novo bookstore and the Pasteur pharmacy''). Thu-Tue. Probably the best Japanese food in Mexico City, owned by Japanese. Many Japanese people come here for lunch and dinner, so they attest to the authenticity of the meals --- you won't find maki rolls with cream cheese here. Don't miss their spicy octopus entrée and the ice-cream tempura for dessert. MXP 150-300.
*'''Club Japonés''', Fujiyama (needs number) (''on the very end of Fujiyama street''), M-Su. This is the restaurant of the Japanese-Mexican Association headquarters. The setting is beautiful, with a Japanese garden and weekly Go tournaments. Food is uniformly excellent, and served in big portions. Service tends to be slow. MXP 200-300.
===Italian===
*'''Amalfi''', Insurgentes and Viaducto (''On the Napoles (south-west) side of the intersection, in the basement''). M-Fr 1PM-9PM. Small and cheap family (not that family) run Italian place, focused on Adriatic food. Try any of the pastas, the pizza Amalfi, or the medallones mar y monte. MXP80-160.
*'''Italianni's''', various locations, Su-Th 1PM-11PM, Fr-Sa 1PM-1AM. This fairly new chain of Italian restaurants is reminiscent of Olive Garden in the US, but the quality is much better, and the prices are mid-range. Try the campesina salad for a starter, then any of the pastas or pizzas. For dessert, the cheesecake is first-class, but all the desserts are wonderful and in huge portions. MXP150-250.
** Insurgentes Sur, a couple of blocks south of the World Trade Center tower.
