What we ate in Mexico City
GOOD TO US is a multimedia travel project documenting destinations through food, wellness, and cultural life — told through a Black traveler’s lens. Not as performance. Not as consumption. But as lived experience.
We’re drawn to restaurants that protect lineage without spectacle: places where tradition is held with care rather than displayed for show. This is not a listicle. It’s something deeper.

@exp_maiz — A truly delicious experience. You don’t know what’s coming until it’s served, and that’s part of the beauty. Every dish felt considered. We were never disappointed.

@baldio.mx — A must when in Mexico City. The ingredients, the food, and the vision behind it feel deeply intentional. A place where story, tradition and flavor meet. More insights soon.

@masalaymaiz — A must-visit. A thoughtful fusion of Mexican and Indian flavors that feels deep & natural rather than forced. We were amazed.

@churreriaelmoro — No words. Just addiction. Churros for life.
