From tacos to churros: Mexico City's best street food

Mexico City is a place known for its rich traditions in art, history and music, but nothing captures the imagination – or the senses – like the city's food.

From chocolate moles, or crispy flautas to the street taco, in all its shapes and sizes: the city's got it all.

“That's what makes eating in Mexico so enriching,” said Daniel Hernández, Mexico bureau chief for VICE News. “All of a sudden there are food magazines targeting young people or creative people [and] that's raising the awareness of food for everyone."

Hernández stopped by the studio with Take Two to share some of his hard-earned tips, garnered during years of reporting in the country’s capitol.

Also, take a day trip with Hernández through three popular fundita restaurants in the video below from MUNCHIES:
