The best restaurants Mexico

The setting is not very nice with its plastic tables and its Coca-Cola decoration, but the welcome is warm and typical in this restaurant at the corner of two streets. It is a place to know if you want to taste the authentic cuisine of the Yucatán peninsula and to immerse yourself in a much more local and family atmosphere than the touristy areas. Here, caldos de pollo are all the rage and you can find empanadas, salbutes and panuchos with unbeatable value for money. Good licuados with melon or strawberry are also available for refreshment.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the commercial streets, here is a haven of peace with tropical architecture on two floors, surrounded by green plants and decorated with dream catchers. Waffles, pancakes, pastries, eggs Benedict with Paris ham, cassolettes or a full brunch to start the day. Then sandwiches, toast or croque-monsieur for lunch. A place for local regulars, where the flavors honor the "0% waste" concept claimed by the family at the head of this beautiful project. To visit at least once during your stay in Playa.

A traditional and creative cuisine, please, from grandmother, and served in the rooms of a pleasant old house. Here, the specialities are made with puff pastry (now famous cuadripastes, a kind of empanadas folded into four), and the place is also used as a bakery. Everything here exudes the taste of well-made things: huevos norteños and a fruit dish for breakfast, Serrano ham tapas, caprese salads, fish in papillote and homemade pizzas of very good quality. A nice place, too.

Chef Elena Reygadas has taken this beautiful French-style house and set the scene for refined Italian-inspired cuisine, appropriately enhanced with local ingredients. The buttery cuisine is dominated by the flavours of oregano and basil, the produce is unbelievably fresh and the cooking times are perfect. Its marrow bone is as famous as the customers who crowd its pretty, flowery patio. The dishes on the menu change according to the season and the availability of products. One of the most beautiful places in Roma Norte.

This is a very nice restaurant, with piano on the ground floor and musicians on the first floor, wood paneling and traditional Mexican food with a generous provincial touch. You can have lunch here, but you should know that this establishment is also known for its delicious breakfasts, including eggs with escamoles (ant larvae). El Cardenal is also the place to try the nata, a lumpy cream to be eaten with the house bread. An excellent address, with old-fashioned service and white tablecloths.

The most interesting culinary project in town! Young chef Enrique Antonio Ortiz May left the comfort of Mérida's large restaurants to start his own business and develop a passionate, loving and refined seasonal cuisine. On the menu, the classic Yucatán repertoire is enhanced by the quality of the products picked from the community and indigenous gardens in the area. You must also visit the bar at the back of the restaurant for its very original cocktails!

On one of the wooden facades of this small rustic restaurant, a drawing with a slogan seems to say it all: " hospital para crudos ", in other words "hospital for those who have had too much to drink", and here they serve an excellent corn and pork pozole.

The house serves mainly meat dishes such as pork or beef burritos, montados de barbacoa (stewed mutton), beef tongue, picadillo, etc.

A little piece of France in this artisanal bakery located in the heart of Quinta Avenida de Playa. Fresh and homemade products as we like them.

Many pastries, pains au chocolat, quiches, croque-monsieur and various sandwiches are available. A good address to treat yourself in this busy street.

A very good Italian restaurant in Merida. The elegant setting goes hand in hand with the cuisine. We are dealing here with an aesthetic and tasty research that leads to surprising results: take for example the fried lasagna, served in small cubes, crunchy on the outside, melting on the inside, excellent at all times! For conservative palates, you will find the great classics: carbonara, risotto, tomato-mozzarella... The wine list is well stocked, and the desserts have that little touch of originality that we liked so much.

Elegant and authentic restaurant to dine in a magnificent old patio, or simply on one of the tables installed in the street, to take advantage of the surrounding animation. The staff is attentive and the presentation of the dishes impeccable, the cuisine served here being above all of regional inspiration, but also international. Among the chef's specialties, the fish fillet in a crust of dried chili pepper, on a bed of coconut risotto, is to die for. The prices are higher than average and also correspond to the setting.

In a very pleasant, nicely decorated and slightly upscale setting, you'll find a mix of Spanish and Puebla specialties. On the menu: lamb with butter and mushrooms, green pipián , tacos filled with shrimp and cheese, and turrón ice cream. It was here that Chile en nogada, the national dish, was first served.

Just a stone's throw from the Zócalo, this excellent restaurant, inaugurated in 1976, serves regional and international specialities in a beautiful, bright, elegant and welcoming room. You can also enjoy a meal outside in the courtyard, where the fountain provides a relaxing backdrop. The " lechón al horno estilo tehuantepec " ("suckling pig in the oven in the tehuantepec style") is a real delight and not to be missed.

His specialty  : bakeries and comedors ("restaurants") that serve typical dishes of the region. This is the perfect place to enjoy hot chocolate.

Under a palapa cradled in tropical vegetation, the "Monkey Cave" offers healthy Mexican cuisine prepared with natural ingredients.

It is the chain of restaurants of the Mexican millonnaire Carlos Slim. You will find it across the country. The restaurant offers a $ 109 menu that includes soup, dish, dessert and drink.

The Parroquía is located next to a youth hostel of the same name. By borrowing one or other sidewalk from the street, this restaurant is priceless.

Economic and popular, the place puts forward regional dishes and offers formulas to take.

This restaurant serves Italian and Mediterranean inspiration (pasta, pizza, minestrone), at the rate of the DJs. The tables are practically located on Avenida Avenida, making this establishment a perfect place to start the evening in Playa del Carmen, a cocktail by hand.

The restaurant is a small reproduction of a village thanks to various elements skilfully arranged. The kitchen is Mexican and international. It eats an original dish such as the molcajete served in a container of volcanic stone or the pibil pollo (chicken that is traditionally cooked in a home on the ground and normally served in some parties). Nothing exceptional, however: more folk than gastronomic.

Good seafood restaurant.

It is good to stop in this small unpretentious restaurant in the heart of Taxco. First of all, there is the superb setting, rustic and authentic rather than purely decorative. You can have lunch on the balconies, with a view of the surroundings. One has the strange feeling of being installed on the roofs of the city! The service is attentive and discreet and above all, there is this piece of beef with a guerrero style , a little spicy and terribly original... A good surprise for a restaurant intended above all for people passing through.

Full of history, this typical Mexican restaurant offers a particularly enchanting local experience. In a historic setting, diners admire both the traditional costumes of the staff and the mariachis who sing along. Its gargantuan menu offers soups, meats (pork, beef, poultry), fish, enchiladas, chilaquiles and tamales.

Among the specialties of the house: Aztec lasagna, prepared based on maize and piments tortilla, Teotihuacán soup and flower enchiladas in Jamaica.

Popular restaurant whose dishes, both national and international, are to be tasted on the terrace or in the dining room: . for breakfast, lunch or dinner for a light dinner. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The hotel was very clean and comfortable. Sandwiches and dishes ranging from 50 to 100 pesos in this distinguished place.

One of the biggest haciendas offering a catering service. It is located south of Coyoacán, near the exit for Cuernavaca. The framework is really beautiful.

The tree planted in the middle of the terrace is there to remember that everything is 100% natural. Is the kitchen dotted with banana trees? This chain serves vegetarian and economic dishes (burgers with soy, etc.).

A small, pleasant restaurant with sea air, both in the dining room and on plates. Here are the products of the sea. The taco of seafood available in the morning are particularly delicious. Chicken tapas are also on the map. 

One of the best regional cuisine restaurants in Saltillo. The beef is a bit like all the city, but the sauces and cooking make a difference here.

This restaurant with international flavours offers a cocktail of oysters and shrimp bouquets, to be tasted in an 18th century patio of great colonial elegance. If the seafood is tasty, the specialty of the house remains the beef filet (or the rabbit tacos...). Regulars do not hesitate to travel dozens of kilometres to come and enjoy it in this restaurant, which has become a real institution. Unquestionably one of the best restaurants in town, with a very elegant atmosphere.

The top of. The map is very complete and varied, although once again beef dominates the debates.

The Canasta is a safe value of Saltillo in international cuisine. So sure that it is better to book on weekends. The map is wide and varied, with attentive staff. It's a good thing that the decoration is not a bit retouched, so it feels like returning back to the 1980 s. Some of them will find some charm.

An address for everyone who wants to eat fish and seafood in the middle of the desert. The card is all the more interesting as the prices are very correct. For the atmosphere and decoration, it will have to be ironing. We would think more in a fast-food than in a restaurant.

The establishment is now legendary, specializing in the fetish dish of the north of the country: the grilled kid. All the pieces are the same price, except for the giblets which are more expensive. Dining in this establishment is a strange experience because of the cooking method and the presentation of the dishes. The sight of the goats being cut into pieces, quartered and impaled on iron spits and cooked over coals is reminiscent of the road punctuated by crucified lions in Flaubert's Salammbô. And despite this, it is delicious.

Very good seafood (even though it is far from the sea) but expensive.

Offers fish and seafood. An address of choice for all those who want to taste seafood from Mexican sauce, especially so far from the coast.

The fish tapas have plancha, but it's still a U.S. chain.

Ideal for breakfast. Café at will. Great bay facing the sea. We eat on wooden tables and the atmosphere is a little old game, but it takes its brands quickly.

In the northern part of the city, a wide variety of taco served under parasols. Ideal for eating on the thumb and filling a trough at the beach by being at the beach.

French and international cuisine. Piano bar, average price, nice welcome.

This is a Los Mochis staple among locals. La Cabaña is known for its homemade tacos and quesadillas . The other specialties are just as hearty and authentic, from tortillas to delicious carne asadato chicken fajitas , a small departure from the traditional cuisine otherwise offered. The least we can say is that the food is nourishing - based on local meat - and typical. The atmosphere is friendly; as for the setting, it is relaxed and without fuss - a successful bet.

Neutral element in the seafood war between Pelicanos and Maria, Mario baked chickens in his way.

The next door. The competition is tough between those two. According to the pattern of one of the hotels, this is the best restaurant on the beach. Who knows?

One of the ultimate restaurants on the beach. . Garcia, the owner, has written a Mexican cookbook and if you insist (not too much), she will benefit you. Immaculate decor.

In principle, music always escapes from a pavilion on the edge of the water. There, men will be drinking. It is easy to order a meal, which will be prepared in the kitchen of the neighbour if it is there!

Note: As always in Mexcaltitán, when it comes to charging, eyes escape to the sky, and one chooses a figure. In the event of a surcharge for a little less than the amount announced, the managers are accommoderont. But we must not take advantage of it, already that the French have a reputation for being greedy, «, in Latin America.

Rest assured, the place has nothing to do with American fast food. In this restaurant, they take their time to prepare the specialty: camarones a la merequetengue (shrimp with peppers and cheese) and the inevitable sopes. Mexican classics are also on the menu, including enchiladas and chilaquiles. The place fills up as soon as breakfast is served: locals and gringos alike come here to get their energy boost from the hearty egg dishes, accompanied by a good strong coffee. Friendly atmosphere.

Just across the Plaza from the Hotel Ceballos.

Coffee as a restaurant, for the indispensable first cup of morning coffee. They grind and mold their own coffee and use a (true) espresso machine. Some snacks to break the crust, including a small carrot cake.
