FEATURING ARTICLES ON MEXICAN FOOD & BEVERAGES

DOWNTOWN MEXICO CITY

Enjoying the Street Food of Mexico City

At DF we like to bring you the flavours of the streets in downtown Mexico City.

We are showcasing 2 typical “Street Foods” that you will find on the Calles de la Ciudad de Mexico.

 

Mulitas De Asada – A Cross between a Taco & a Quesadilla.

Our “Little Mule” is 2 flour tortillas stuffed with Steak, cheese, guacamole, fresh chili and onions… as every Mule has a kick so does ours…give it a try, you will be asking for more!!

 

Tacos De Canasta – Basket Tacos

The name “tacos de canasta” comes from the ingenious way they used to be sold: in a wicker basket, “canasta” being the spanish word for basket. Back in those days, street vendors prepared large quantities of these delicious tacos and arranged them in the basket, wrapped in brown paper or napkins. Over time, basket tacos became a common choice for outings, picnics, or family gatherings since they stayed hot for hours.

Their unique flavor and practicality made them an essential and ideal addition for any occasion.

Our Tacos De Canasta are a steamed corn tortilla stuffed with Pork Carnitas Verde Mole & Chicharron with mashed potato. The smell and taste of these home-crafted corn tortillas stuffed will take you back to Mexico City with the first bite!!

 

Pork Belly Tacos

Who doesn’t enjoy soft pork belly, with a crunchy crispy skin…they are just to die for. We top flour tortillas with Guacamole, pickled red cabbage, pork belly, salsa verde and topped off with a fresh Mango & Red Habanero Salsa.. this is my go to Taco & I keep coming back for more.

 

All available on our specials menu currently at DF…

Come and enjoy the “Tastes of the Calle” at DF

 

 

 

 

 

DF’s SPECIAL MEXICAN PIZZA

Tlayuda – The Mexican Pizza

Hailing from Oaxaca’s central valley, the Tlayuda is an iconic street food staple that shines as a shared plate.

The classic preparation, which you can find in any market in Oaxaca, at any food stall or in most restaurants, includes thin, large – about 16 inches – corn tortillas – We replace the corn with 2x Flour Tortillas.. baked to perfecto crispyness!!

To start, a layer refried black beans & shredded cheese is slathered on, serving as the base.

Toppings are then added, in the form of shredded cabbage, onions, avocado, cheese, cilantro, red & green bell peppers, rocket, Jalapeños. Then a portion and some more cheese..

If this sounds like a pizza, you’re not far off: it’s often referred to as “Mexican Pizza” by both Mexicans and foreigners alike.

We are showcasing Tlayudas at DF, from this Friday 8th Nov… With the following toppings

  • BBQ Chipotle Chicken
  • Al Pastor Pork
  • Creamy Cauliflower
  • Carne Asada

Come and try these beauties at District Federal…

BEHIND A GOOD RESTAURANT IS A GREAT FAMILY

Vietnam is all about family and Mexico alike. The journey to create District Federal was and still is about family.

With the unbounded support and dedication from my family, my Hanoian wife Le, who is 100% the “Better half”, the brains and unsung hero behind the scenes ,has been, and continues to do all the important stuff to get DF up and running.

My 2 girls, whose input and critique keeps me on a semi straight path and who are always happy to pitch in help and tell me “You are crazy dad!”

WELCOME TO DISTRICT FEDERAL

AUTHENTICITY & QUALITY IS AT THE HEART OF EVERYTHING WE DO

The DF Familia, in the kitchen, on the floor and in the bar…we are all one big family and with most families we are growing day by day.

After a long research trip Mexico over a year ago… eating, drinking (too much Tequila & Mezcal) and absorbing everything that is quintessential Mexican...My family built DF in the autumn of 2017

I kidnapped a Mexican Chef from Mexico City to ensure we brought the authentic tastes and flavors of Mexico City to Thao Dien in District 2 of Ho Chi Minh City, for you to enjoy.

I wanted us to make everything fresh and we have been working towards achieving that end. The tacos, chips and tostadas are made daily from homemade corn masa, the salsas, queso fresco cheese and slow cooked meats are also prepared daily.

Using a selection of 10 dried chilies imported in from Mexico, we endeavor to create authentic Mexican flavors and tastes. For those craving something less traditional, we also cater for “North of the Border” cravings and paletes

I designed a space that is casual, obviously very Mexican, bright, and colorful with 2 distinctive areas for dining. An open-aired front section, which looks into the open La Cocina (The Kitchen), where you can enjoy the Loco atmosphere of the busy cocina, and see our chefs prepare your food...…with nothing hidden.

An air-conditioned inside section is very lively too, with a 7 meter long bar, staffed by experienced and friendly staff shaking cocktails, serving amazing frozen Patron Margarita amongst dozens of other drinks

We endeavor to create a vibrant, cool and fun environment at DF, where you can enjoy authentic Mexican food, great drinks in a truly Mexican atmosphere.

WE WELCOME YOU THE JOIN THE DF FAMILIA.. AND ENJOY THE JOURNEY
