The best take-away restaurants Mexico

Street Garden also means plaza terrace, where you can feast under a fig tree on excellent burgers, burritos and sandwiches. Among the waiter's recommendations, the "Americano" stands out, a fried chicken sandwich with cabbage, onions, lime mayonnaise and chipotle. You also have the option of the BLT, a baguette sandwich with beef, peppers, mushrooms and caramelized onions. You can also arrive in the morning and order a breakfast of chilaquiles, omelette or pancakes.

This small family restaurant offers breakfast options at less than 50 pesos. The food is good and the location is very clean!

This establishment offers a variety of roasted charcoal burgers. Convenient for a quick meal.

In the morning, the famous carnitas of Michoacán are in demand. This little place serves without a doubt the best in the area, as evidenced by the long line that forms on the sidewalk from 9 or 10 in the morning. Sometimes you have to wait up to 30 minutes to get the Holy Grail: a tasty, perfectly cooked and seasoned pork served in tacos. Purists can also order carnitas by the kilo, to go. There are some stools to sit inside. For a hearty and typical lunch!

It is a market whose location dates back to pre-Hispanic times. Today it is made up of take-away stalls and small restaurants that specialize in "extraordinary" food and are visited daily by chefs, artists, politicians and anyone who wants to taste unusual dishes: iguanas, crocodiles, ostriches, ants, grasshoppers, scorpions, insects... You will find good quality baguettes, imported meats and cheeses in the stalls of these markets.

A small truck in the middle of an improvised garden with a few picnic tables, where the simplicity of the menu echoes the primacy of the products over the sophistication of the preparations: tapas, croquetas de jamon serrano and patatas bravas are also here to remind us of the flavours of the Iberian Peninsula. And to think that there is a duck sandwich... To accompany this meal on the go, wine or craft beer are available. This is a great way to vary the pleasures and make it one of the best places to have lunch in the region.

Another taco restaurant, to break with the El Fogón chain. The cuisto boasts about preparing the best in the city— they all say that. One thing is certain: his own are not the least fat. A very friendly atmosphere.

This small family restaurant is located in the Viva Tijuana shopping mall. Ideal for breaking the crust and eating on the thumb at the counter, just after crossing the border crossing. The address is located about metres from the Estrellas del Pacifico bus station. On the menu: soup, rice and chicken dishes, taco, fruit salad…

All kinds of freshly prepared pasta. 

It offers over 40 different types of hamburgers. It is located near the National Migration Institute and in front of the commercial square Antara.

Inside, this lounge is the ideal place to get off the city to eat or eat breakfast. The space is well studied, the glass bay, closed in the event of rain, makes it possible to feel close to the outside. The art bookstore is right next door, just a jump to read.

Another hotel offering good breakfasts at economic prices. The restaurant has a garden and a playground for children.

Everyone knows Claudio, he is a little the soul of Puerto. Moreover, the pictures that adorn the walls are beautiful testimonies of history. Claudio came from Italy twenty years ago when the port had only 2 500 inhabitants. There are many choices from breakfast to wood fire and pasta. Very good natural fruit juice.

Located above Alcala Lago. It serves delicious pancakes, sandwiches and salads. The decor and the idea of marrying French crêpes and typical food works very well. The crepe at "the flor of calabaza" is the perfect illustration. From the balcony you can enjoy the magnificent view of Santo Domingo. Count between 60 and 80 pesos for this real delight.

This charming terrace, abundantly adorned with plants, overlooks the city and offers a magnificent view of the sunset. Under the soothing shade of the bougainvillea, guests enjoy delicious sandwiches filled with ham, chorizo, avocado or sausage. The tacos are not to be outdone: Birria, Suadero, with ginger or chilhuacle pepper. A real delight. This enchanting place is the ideal oasis for sharing complicity and friendship, while sipping mezcal, bathed in the soft glow of the late evening. Vegetarian options.

El Merkado is a large, old-fashioned warehouse of 3,500 square metres, on two floors, typical of the trendy markets that foodies love. You can find all kinds of proposals: meat, fish and oyster bar, fruit, vegetables, bakery, freshly squeezed fruit juices, homemade pizzas, fresh pasta, coffee, homemade beers, etc. You'd have to be difficult not to find what you're looking for! You can take away the products or taste them on the spot. Those who want a more formal meal will also find what they are looking for.

Las Ahumaderas is a veritable cabinet of curiosities made up of different locals offering tortas, burritos and especially tacos, so much so that the place is nicknamed "Taco Alley" by passing Americans in search of the tastiest tacos in town. Set up in a row, these stands make your mouth water and attract passers-by with their intoxicating smell of grilled meat. The most difficult thing is to make a choice! Then, you sit down on a stool along the counter, in all simplicity. Popular and timeless since 1960.

The owners have been offering their renowned fish, seafood and shellfish specialties to a knowledgeable and loyal clientele for 20 years. The prices are equal to the quality: marlin tacos, crab claws, cahuamanta soup, etc. Disappointment is impossible. The place is also popular with Americans, since the prestigious Food & Wine magazine named Mariscos Ruben one of the best restaurants in the world in 2019. We might not go that far, but go for the authenticity.

The simplest menu in the universe for this restaurant that claims to be the most authentic taqueria in the capital. You can choose between oriental or Mexican style tacos, crispy wonton or spring rolls. All with duck, a real treat. You eat it all up inside this tiny restaurant, which has only a few high chairs facing the kitchen and along the wall. The place is a hit, so much so that it has two other addresses in Mexico City, in Polanco and Centro Historico.

Mercado Medellín is the typical Mexican market where, in addition to shopping, you can find food at all hours: juices and fruit salads, typical food, grilled meats, Cuban stands (you have to look for them in the maze) and seafood stands. At noon, many comedores, often crowded, on Coahuila Street offer lunch options, all of which are pretty much the same in terms of value for money. Stroll between the stalls and let yourself be guided by the daily variations of the menus!

This is a very nice little restaurant-bar, with two terraces (one on the street, one upstairs) which is a perfect spot for a late lunch, an aperitif or even an informal dinner. Here, the price of the drinks is accessible, the owners are very friendly and they serve very good meat or vegetarian burgers, as well as Mexican botanas . At the end of the day, the atmosphere is particularly relaxed and more and more festive as the hour turns. An unpretentious place, but terribly effective.

These trucks are very inventive in their simple yet original culinary creations. Among those not to be missed, try Humo's, which offers homemade sausage and deli specialties. Everything is charcoal grilled for hot dogs like no other! Other food trucks are grouped together at the Food Garden or El Punto Foodtrucks. Some of them are mobile, but they are usually not far from Aguacaliente Avenue or Club Campestre. The ideal place to eat outside, and taste the local craft beers.

The people of Oaxaca can't get enough of this mobile shop, and for good reason: they've been making the best tacos in town since 2004! Their slogan: "We're not the only ones, but we're the best!" Their tortillas are handmade and a myriad of toppings are offered. Their lechón tacos are especially delicious. Beware of misunderstandings: a stall with the same name is nearby, so be sure to head to the right place.
