This milkshake cost us less than $2 dollars.

When we are in Mexico City one of our favorite things to do is eat. Well, actually wherever we are we like to eat food. The bonus to Mexico City is food is everywhere and it is really cheap. If you can walk more than 3 blocks and not find a place to eat in Mexico City you are not in Mexico City. This place is was one of our favorites this last time. Funny thing is we don’t even know the name of the place. It was just a little booth place in the Hidalgo station. For less than $4 dollars we would go to this place and buy a pitcher full of milkshake and any type of torta (sandwich) we wanted. The place was very convenient to us because Hidalgo station is the transfer station for the blue and green lines (two very busy lines) of the subway. This was also the station where we bought our Mexican cellphone. For about $15 dollars (150 pesos) we got a cheap phone with 100 pesos (less than $10 dollars) worth of air time. For our two week trip it was all we really needed. The phone was really simple but it saved us the hassle of having to find a pay phone (which could sometimes be tricky to finde). The only thing is you have to learn that the phone company plays this little trick where they will send you unsolicited text messages (basically they were all about the daily news). It took us awhile before we found out we were being charged for them. So unless you know the person don’t open any text messages.
