Mexico City is an amazing choice! Even without Spanish, you can have an authentic experience if you stick to local spots. Definitely check out Coyoacán, walk through its markets, grab churros at El Moro, and soak in the vibe at Plaza Hidalgo. For a true local dining experience, try Mercado Roma or La Casa de Toño for incredible pozole. If you’re into history, the Templo Mayor ruins and a visit to Xochimilco (avoid the super touristy boats) are musts. Before booking anything, I’d check 

Explore Coyoacán's markets, visit Casa Azul (Frida Kahlo Museum), stroll Roma & Condesa, enjoy Lucha Libre at Arena México, try pulque in a cantina, and take a canal ride in Xochimilco (weekday for locals)!

Eat at Quintonil (Expensive) or El Parnita (Good bakery, so so food)

Go to a Lucha Libre. Eat tacos, drink beer/whatever, enjoy a loud and fun crowd. 

I can't speak Spanish but would like some interesting cultural experiences. I want to avoid tourist traps and experience the city like a local.
