From Oaxaca, we flew to Mexico City, and to begin our Mexico City food tour!
We landed at Benito Juárez International Airport and I had arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport to take us first to eat barbacoa – one of the ultimate of all Mexican meat dishes, and then on to go to the Aztec Pyramids of Teotihuacan.
We drove straight to a small town in the mountains called Texcoco. The hills around Texcoco are known for their barbacoa, Mexican style of barbecue. Even when I was in the US, I remember seeing little hole in the wall restaurant serving “Barbacoa estilo Texcoco,” Texcoco style Mexican barbacoa – so it’s famous for this dish.
El Pica I – The restaurant I wanted to try was El Pica I, and even in this small mountain town, the restaurant was absolutely bumping – there was a meat party happening. You could smell the aroma of the lamb as we drove in. You choose a table, and you walk around and self serve your food. There are many Mexican foods to eat, but the real reason you come here is for the lamb barbacoa – the most insane lamb pit bbq! The meat is cooked in underground clay ovens, and when they open an oven it looks like they are opening a mine.
The lamb barbacoa was some of the most tender meat I’ve ever experienced. It was fatty and juicy and ultra flavorful.
Price – 800 MXN ($42.95) for 2 kg.
Teotihuacan – Stuffed full of lamb, we continued on to Teotihuacan, the ancient Aztec city, known for its giant pyramids. Unfortunately since we went on a Sunday, it was absolutely packed, so busy that we couldn’t even hike to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun because we ran out of time. But nevertheless, it was still worth visiting and it’s very impressive to see.
Entrance price – 70 MXN ($3.76)
Highlight of today for me was the insanely irresistible lamb barbacoa in Texcoco, WOW. Thank you for watching this Mexican food tour!

NI YO COMO TANTO ABANERO NO. MAMES ME SORPRENDIO???????
That looks very good. Interesting how the culture is inside that restaurant alone just in that space, the routine of cooking that barbacoa and how they serve it. Its all very interesting and yes I would eat that. I wonder how much the guy who scrapes the lamb barbacoa from the pit is making vs. The owner ? Idk I tend to begin thinking about many many things when I focus on something now. Cheers.
