Tzintzuntzan is a major handicraft center with vegetable fiber weaving and carved wood.
Paracho if you're interested in guitars.
Tula in the state of Hildalgo is not as impressive as Teotihuacan, but it might be worth a stop.
When you get to Teotihuacan and you're ready for lunch, go behind the Pyramid of the Sun, there should be a sign pointing to a restaurant. The restaurant is inside a cave-cool.
Don't try to drive through Mexico City, try to drive around it. If you can get a hotel in Coyoacan, you can get around the city on the Metro. The National Museum of Anthropology is not to be missed.

Ok you said you can speak fluent spanish letÂ´s see,
Si planeas visitar lugares turisticos no vayas a ciudad de Mexico mucho menos con auto rentado, vete mas al sur encontraras muchos lugares tipicos con comida tipica de la region e indigenas y esas cosas, pero ten cuidado en estados como chiapas o oaxaca, son muy bonitos pero ahorita estan pasando por problemas politicos y sociales y son peligrosos,. podrias llegar hasta las piramides de Cancun dicen que son muy bellas, oh tambien en Jalisco visitar los lugares donde hacen el tequila, son excelentes para conseguir tequila bara y de buena calidad para el resto de tu viaje, Tambien esta la ciudad de Guanajuato, en donde en los primeros dias de octubre celebran un festival internacional llamado "cervantino" asiste gente de todo el mundo y es muy divertido, ahi podrias visitar las momias de guanajuato muy recomendable la verdad. en lo personal te diria de lugares que visitar aqui en el norte del pais, pero encontraras cosas mas tipicas mexicanas en el centro y sur de mexico..

Last thing, be careful in Mexico Citiy, im mexican, but im from the north of Mexico, and I donÂ´t like mexico city itÂ´s so dangerous!. take care and have fun, oh and welcome!

Great places...Excuse my spelling) consider Guadalajara, Janitzio, Morelia (great place w/ aqueducts) and Ixtapa (on the coast). Mexico city is a smog bank...the pyramids are awesome...I climbed to the top of two, but be careful...steep steps.

And of course...bottled water only and no street vendor-cooked food in the water (corn)...however you will find a great little restaurant in just about every city neighborhood. Wish I was in your shoes!

I would take along an extra gasoline container.
You never know how far it is to the next gas
station.
Also, an extra can of water would be good.

It is a good thing you speak fluent spanish, you'll need it. (Of course). Be mindful that there will be bandits (thieves), so do NOT travel with anything with a lot of value. Do not bring to Mexico your digital camara, ect. Do not flash anything expensive, it'll get stolen. Be careful of pickpockets, but you would get that problem anywhere, even Europe.

I have never been to Mexico City, so I cant help you there.
