I will be in Mexico city for a week, are there interesting chocolate related places? I am planning to visit the Museum of Antropology and El Moro, the hot chocolate place. But perhaps there are classes or something else....Please let me know
Thank you in advance.

Not a great viewing spot.
Mayordomo shops around town, the closest one 2 km away,

have a good selection of moles and coarse ground chocolate bars. This is the standard Oaxacan drinking chocolate.
