The best restaurants México

Good Argentine restaurant, a simple and pleasant setting.

Argentine restaurant «casero». Argentines meat at the grill (de of lomo, de of sausage, chrasco, tira lechona…) but there are also fish (grilled salmon), salads, pasta and pizzas. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday you will find tango shows.

Original, colourful and musical restaurant. The kitchen is an Asian and Italian blend of best taste.

The restaurant also specialises in seafood. Very nice decoration.

Contramar is one of the best restaurants in Mexico City for fresh seafood and fish. The restaurant offers specialties from Acapulco and Veracruz, among others. Whether you prefer oysters, shrimp skewers, ceviches, grilled whole fish or fishy tacos al pastor, you won't be disappointed. For dessert, don't miss the fig tart. In addition, the setting is open and bright, ideal for spending a pleasant moment. The waiters are elegantly dressed, like the clientele, rather well-to-do. Impeccable.

Very good Japanese restaurant where a treadmill gives you the best sushi. The accounting is done according to the different colors of the dishes, all in a world of manga (bigre!). Don't forget to visit the toilets before you leave!

Original restaurant for decoration made by "Chic By Accident". This is worth a look.

Restaurant bar and grill in «Mexican» style. They serve enchiladas, handcrafts chilaquiles, etc. This place is very frequented by the locals who come to eat at lunchtime with their colleagues in the work.

Small dishes, pitas, pasta, oak, sandwiches, etc. Many simple products are available for sale.

Place very busy, nice to take a ice cream.

Neighbour on the South side, it's a small neighborhood café.

Beautiful Argentinean restaurant.

Nice and cosy place with a nice white and blue façade, open since 1959. You can take a seat on the pleasant terrace equipped with parasols, or inside to enjoy the colorful setting. The owner, originally from Chihuahua, proposes her northern cuisine: machaca, burritos and chivichangas to discover, all accompanied by a hot atole .Ideal for a light evening meal. The restaurant is conveniently located a few blocks from Viveros, a pleasant park and arboretum, and less than a 20-minute walk from the Museo Frida Kahlo.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is warm and it is also a meeting point of the French living in Mexico City. There you will enjoy numerous original and fine pasta dishes and good desserts.

They offer international cuisine. Casa Bell, located in a patio, is a restaurant frequented by Mexicans. Recommended for the local atmosphere.

In order to grasp the rather astonishing and quite singular essence of this restaurant, one must first grasp the intention of its managers. Without a menu, without prices and therefore without expectations, we invite you to trust the chef. You are presented with succulent and colorful dishes to be enjoyed until you are tired of them. As simple as that! The prices may be a bit high, but the quality of the food is guaranteed. Arrive a little early to put your name on the waiting list and enjoy an aperitif while you wait for your table to become available.

In this busy little restaurant in Roma, you'd think you were eating food cooked directly by a lovely Mexican grandmother, who took the time to prepare typical Mexican meals inherited from her ancestors, without forgetting to add a huge pinch of love. In addition to the huevitos al comal covered with chapulin (fried egg in a tortilla), the invigorating palomas, or the Jalisco style beef, it is for the tetelas, those tasty little triangular empanadas stuffed with chicken and beans, that one travels here.

In Mexico, Marco Carboni is considered the king of fresh pasta, since he had the opportunity to work at Osteria Francescana, one of the best restaurants on the planet. It was in 2017, then enriched by this experience, that he came to open his own restaurant that would soon become an icon of Italian cuisine. His gnocco frito (fried gnocchi) filled with parmesan foam and topped with prosciutto, mortadella tortellini and seafood risotto are served with a delicious olive focaccia that would make an Italian tear up.

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

Look at the chickens roasting on the spit and tell us your mouth isn't watering? The concept of Pollos Poncho is simple: here, the chicken is king, and we enjoy it without fuss, just roasted, with the skin that crunches under the tooth. For the hungry or if you are several, you can order it whole. For one person, a quarter of chicken is usually enough. Tacos, tortas and burritos (with chicken, of course) are excellent. You can serve it with potatoes or rice and enjoy.

This restaurant offers fine Oaxaqueña cuisine. We appreciate an ancestral know-how that is finely mixed in the modernity of the places and animated by a perfect service. Try your palate with surprising dishes such as chapulines (grilled grasshoppers) or the mole (chocolate sauce). It's an explosion of successful flavor.

The Contramar institution often complete, here is another seafood restaurant where to fall back. The card is very complete and the quality of the products guaranteed. And then as the restaurant intends to respect the Lounge lounge spirit, the weekend, Djs come to mix with electro music while you eat. Very in. 

No doubt the best address of Coyoacán to eat a lot and not expensive… As the kitchen is relatively good for the price, the restaurant is being stormed by the local students and employees, and between and, it often takes between 10 and 20 minutes before you can sit down at a table. But the crowd is also a guarantee of quality… 

The Polanco district has an incredible number of restaurants in Peru, Argentina, Japanese, French, Italian, but the good Mexican restaurants are not so many. That's why we recommend the El Bajío restaurant to all those who want to discover the country's traditional gastronomy. The hotel serves the same dishes as you eat on the street, markets or popular restaurants, but quality is guaranteed here. Indulge in a requesón gordita, pork tostada, nopal salad or carnita taco. You will be more than convinced of the delights of local gastronomy!

The map of this facility is simple: pizza, salads, and beer and wine to accompany. But that is a success. With attractive prices and a dream location facing the beautiful Los Cibeles square, this pizzeria is a perfect place for lunch and dinner. 

This facility prepares very good tortas, costing less than $ 50. Those with shavings porc in the sauce (lomo adobado) are particularly delicious!

This restaurant looks a little like our own bistro, with its relaxed atmosphere, its terrace tables, and its varied international menu, which includes both pasta and tartars. Good address. 

This adorable café is the perfect place for a hearty brunch with friends, which naturally starts with an excellent cappuccino with a heart. The egg dishes are a great way to start the day, as are the sandwiches, quiches and croque-monsieur. The pastries are also worth the detour: croissants, cinnamon rolls and muffins make your mouth water. Not to mention the desserts, especially the very refined tarts. The bohemian setting is as nice inside as on the terrace.

Chef Alejandro Ruiz brings the best of Oaxacan cuisine to Mexico City, a benchmark in Mexican gastronomy. The menu includes traditional tlayudas, delicious enfrijoladas and dishes made with huitlacoche (also known as corn charcoal) and mole. Of course, the chef adds his own personal touch to each dish for an innovative culinary experience. To further immerse yourself, the dishes are accompanied by mezcal, coffee and craft beers and local spring water.

A simple concept: every day, the menu changes according to the products of the market (meat, fish, vegetables, spices, mushrooms), which will not have travelled more than 24 hours from their place of origin. The cuisine is hailed as one of the best in the city. The dishes are sophisticated without being ostentatious; for example, the delicate mussels with coconut and saffron or the huachinango on a bed of lentils and rissoto. An excellent address, which also offers an excellent wine and alcohol list.

It is a gastronomic reference point in the city, where the culinary traditions of the country are worked on with a fresh contemporary twist. On the menu or a la carte, you will find more than original creations: they are delicious, whether you opt for tacos or fresh fish plates, passing by grilled meats. All of this is accompanied by a glass of mezcal, of course. And the chef's inventiveness continues right through to dessert. Not to be missed under any circumstances, especially since the setting is warm and pleasant.

In Calle Regina, where every day there are new establishments that are falsely trendy and truly insipid, this one still resists the invaders... It is a typical fonda that meets the criteria of the three Bs: bonito, bueno, barato. The lunch formula is served at any time from 1pm and one comes here to eat as well as to drink a cold beer in all simplicity. Fridays are fishy: people flock to enjoy it. If you are looking to escape the tourists, Dzib is the place to be!

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.

We like the rustic-contemporary (or neo-champestral) style of this spot which welcomes both well-off families with their toddlers at the end of the school day and executives in a hurry to go back to work after a short break. Everything is good, very good, and it feels good to eat a real sandwich whose quality is based on the taste of the bread and the ingredients. Given the quality and freshness of the products, it's not surprising to learn that the man behind Eno is none other than Enrique Olivera, the chef at Pujol, one of the most renowned restaurants in the city.

What attracts the locals here are a few terraced tables on the sidewalk, shaded by creeping plants. People come here for an excellent cup of coffee and a delicious cake (strudel, tarte tatin, fondant au chocolat...), just as much as for three meals. The dishes are generous and not overly sophisticated: the extensive menu offers salads for the light-hearted, as well as excellent meat and fish dishes for the more demanding appetites.

Agua y Sal is one of the best places in the city to enjoy Latin cuisine exclusively dedicated to seafood. Given the quality of the food, the location of the restaurant and the neat surroundings, the prices are far, far from being exorbitant, although they are still higher than the average restaurant in Mexico. If you don't have the appetite for a dish (tuna with fig sauce... yum!), fall back on the aguachiles, tacos, quesadillas, ceviches and other very well concocted delicacies.

Tacos de barbacoa, sopes, enchiladas, chilaquiles... Here, everything is prepared with the surety of local flavours, completed by a few proposals of dishes of pre-Hispanic origin, such as this plato botanero based on insects of all kinds. When you eat here, you really get the impression that you are tasting authentic Mexican home cooking as you imagine it. You won't run into tourists here, as the restaurant is located slightly outside the tourist area of Coyoacán. An excellent tacoterapia.

This bright, parquet-covered dining room, built in the 1920s, is home to top-notch cuisine. The whiteness of the tablecloths and the simplicity of the furnishings free the senses to focus on what's essential: this European-inspired family gastronomy, concocted exclusively with seasonal produce. The menu is constantly changing, and the emphasis is on home-style cooking, with dishes served in the middle of the table, to be shared among guests. Another undeniable success for chef Monica Patiño.

In 2007, Chef Takeya Matsumoto opened his own restaurant in Mexico City, after working for several years as a chef in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. His dishes include stews, kebabs of all kinds, robatas (Japanese grills) and a myriad of other Japanese specialties. It has possibly the best sushi in town. On colder days, you can enjoy comforting ramen and udon noodles. The best soup is made in old pots.

The casual atmosphere and innovative gastronomy that talented chef Alonso Madrigal has managed to craft for the opening of his first restaurant is nothing short of brilliant. Since 2021, he and his brigade have been reinventing the country's contemporary culinary scene with unexpected fusion dishes such as clam tostadas with chocolate and sikil pak sauce, pork sausages Lao style and wild mushroom salad with anchovies, arugula and sheep cheese. Exceptional wine list and cocktails.

Jorge Vallejo brings a breath of fresh air to Mexican gastronomy. Raised in the kitchens of Enrique Olvera (Pujol), he remains attached to local flavours. But he softens them with the use of multiple vegetables, which make his dishes a delightful lightness, a singularity in the Mexican culinary context. The restaurant is warm and welcoming, the service impeccable and the selection of Mexican wines unbeatable. One of the best restaurants in the city, committed to leaving a minimal ecological footprint by sourcing from its nearby vegetable garden.

A small, pre-Hispanic kitchen, whose secrets have passed on to apprentices since 1934. Specialities, in addition to traditional Mexican dishes, are to be found on the side of the curiosities: grasshoppers, worms, ant eggs and mosquito (Mexican caviars), wild boar or crocodile. The old chef has just left us, but his successor has now taken over the reins in his new premises right in front of the old one. To follow and test.

There are few places that carry on Spanish know-how and traditions as well as Le Cid. This medieval-style restaurant captures the style, music, and of course, the regional gastronomy of Spain, offering dishes such as jamón Serrano, Rioja snails, paella, and whole suckling pig from Segovia cooked in its own juices and carved before your eyes. Medieval dinners have been held here every Saturday for over forty years. The dancers and musicians will make your evening more enjoyable.

Through the fusion of a wide range of products and redesigned traditional dishes, Los Danzantes can be proud of its undeniable success. The harmony of flavors, colors and textures of its dishes makes them qualify as edible works of art. As in a museum, we contemplate them for a long time before taking pleasure in them. Here, we play with the fragrances and nuances of the ingredients by skilfully combining them with each other. We also recommend you to visit their second restaurant, located in Oaxaca. A hymn to beauty.

The restaurant offers traditional Mexican specialities - taco, hot peppers, molcajetes - in a modern, pleasant and affordable setting.

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

This restaurant has a large cellar. Each month it offers a menu that is specially designed to marry with certain wines. Wine connoisseurs will appreciate. The map of the restaurant is attractive and varied. 

If the menu of the day is not your taste, no worries. You will find many other nearby fondas along Río Lerma, which offers similar formulas.

A few steps from the Angel of Independence, here is a real good little French bistro. You can find very good specialities from home, between the beef fillets with typical sauces (pepper, mustard, bourguignonne, etc.), the salmon à la dijonnaise, the snails, quenelles, lamb Pondicherry, Niçoise salad or the crème brûlée to finish in beauty. In short, it's a beautiful place. Bistro Arelquin is a timeless place with a constant quality. Moreover the place is always full. Perfect if you are in need of specialities from France!

Beautiful restaurant specializing in beef. Beautiful terrace overlooking a pedestrian street of the Zona Rosa.
