This is a sick place. If you come to CDMX you need to visit! the ambiance is fucking cool and it feels hidden but not really lol Mezcal cocktails are delicious and the only time Iāve been there I was fucked up when I left. Music is great too!!

la docena - probably the best meal I had in Mexico was hereā¦ unreal seafood, the tuna and oysters were especially insane.
taqueria orinoco - this was the first place I went in Mexico City where I had insanely good tacos. Most of the best tacos I had in CDMX / my entire life were from random stalls all around the city and I donāt know if they had names. theses ones are a little expensive for Mexico City (they cost like $4 and you can definitely get better tacos for $0.25), but theyāre really really good and filling.
lardo - this was another pricier spot but soooooo insanely good. menu is built around a wood fired oven on site and yeah I just remember having my mind blown consistently.
the open air markets around the city are massive and totally underrated. I could spend all day there just looking at all the crazy stuff. Skibidi toilet pinatas, anime girl statues, handwoven scarves that say Mexico on them but theyāre made in Indonesia. itās awesome.
Probably the most touristy thing I did was a boat tour in Xochimilco which was awesome. just a million guys getting hammered on beautiful boats in this canal/world heritage site. we were on a boat with two random families and an awesome tour guide who was studying for his MA in animal science and wanted to practice his Englis/make a bunch of money. At one point we paid a mariachi band to come on the boat and do a few songs it was unreal.
Also people are really really nice in general, but a lot of them donāt really speak english so locking in on your Duolingo is thatās essential.
oh also if you can get a reservation to see any of the BarragĆ”n houses youāve gotta lock in theyāre insane

This is the best restaurant in LA maybe. Recs include the pozole, the bone marrow sopĆ©s, skirt steak and pretty much everything else?! Itās delightfully un-bougie and normal and bustling and life affirming. !

Today is the release of my new EP, and being an independent musician is HARD AF.
So Iām feeling down, because I know this project, the one I poured my heart and soul into, will not reach all the places and people I would want.
So here it is, my GARAGE SALE. Hope you like it ā¤ļø
