I am a huge fan of your work and a paid subscriber. I live in Mexico City and read and speak Spanish fluently, but I've found that no one provides more insightful commentary on Mexican political life than you (in Spanish or in English). However, this post is garbage and it reads like something generated by ChatGPT. It is a perfect example of the "enshitification" process. If you post more click bait like this, I will unsubscribe from your Substack.

Actually, it’s a note we always wanted to write and we went personally to all the venues to take pictures and talk to the owners about prices, etc. It is something a bot cannot do because these are not venues with online presence.

The piece describes the food for foreigners in basic terms, yes, because half of our readers are from outside Mexico.

I’m sorry you didn’t like it; we will keep doing content for all audiences.

Dear Professor Rios, I hope that everything is going well with you. I enjoy all of your writings about Mexico and the Mexican people! You're an amazing writer! You know so much about so many different things about beautiful Mexico! And the fact that you have taught at Harvard, and graduated from there, and finished #1 in your college, and also work as an editor of a major newspaper, and are a best selling author, and also own your own company, and are an advocate for Mexicans that are struggling, shows what a beautiful person that you are.
