List compiled by Carlos Icaza. While he will quickly rebuke attempts to frame him at the center of any Mexico City music scene, he is intimate with a circle of musicians who regularly gig there, and he himself performs in about a dozen different bands, including Evil Hippie and Los Fancy Free. He also offered us his choice for best tacos, ever:
- La Superior, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, USA
- Taqueria Cocula, Lopez St., Mexico City, Mexico
- Taqueria Bagdad, Puebla, Mexico
