Mexico City Airport Food

I didn't expect Mexico City airport to have a wireless internet connection, flat-screen TVs around every corner, and marble-lined bathrooms. But the best surprise was the food court, located one floor up from the departure gates. Yes, the usual fast-food chains were there, but among the many restaurants I found a sushi stand, a juice bar, a steak store, and a taco stand. There, I had two tacos al pastor ($2), and enjoyed the marinated, juicy meat, the choice of condiments (green salsa, red salsa, chopped onions, lime, chopped cilantro, pickles), and glancing around as crowds of travellers stood around the televisions watching the World Cup.
