Central de Pizzas – Mexico City
Central de Pizzas is Mexico City’s version of the great American pizza-chain restaurant, only with lower standards, lack of decor and worse pizza at a higher price. Not bad, but not good!
California Pizza Kitchen – Mexico City
California Pizza Kitchen, a popular US based pizza chain, loses something in translation in Mexico City. Barely scored above average on our rankings.
Quebracho – Mexico City
The décor is attractive. The place is usually busy in the evening and during the peak of the lunch hour, but there’s rarely a wait for a table.
Alipús – Mexico City
Local mezcal producer, Alipús, has opened three restaurants in CDMX. Ambience and service were good but execution of the flautas fell short of expectations. Good but not great.
Chimiburger – Mexico City
Chimiburger offers gourmet burgers with juicy beef patties, fresh buns, and all the good fixins. Spicy? Try the Chila Burger with a Minerva craft beer.
Hooters – Mexico City
Hooters in Mexico City serves the same iconic hot wings and has the same trademark service as the 460 plus other locations worldwide. The entire package is good enough to land Hooters on our list of Top Picks for gastropubs in Mexico City. The chicken sandwich also made Top Picks status on our Best Sandwich in Mexico City list.
Amaya – Juárez – Mexico City
Amaya is a more casual version of chef Jair Tellez’s Meretoro in Condesa. Ambiance is pleasant. Service was good. But unlike the flawless execution on our recent visit to Merotoro, there were multiple errors in execution on the entree course we were served at Amaya.
Jaso – Mexico City
The decor is not quite right, but not as gaudy as Dulce Patria. Service staff seemed a bit confused and flustered. That didn’t really affect service after the first course however. The food was surprisingly good.
Frëims for Breakfast – Mexico City
Pretty darn good breakfast. The coffee is good, although coffee aficionadas will be saying it just doesn’t compare to Chiquitito Café.
Pasión Café – Mexico City
Cáfe that only sells coffee in paper cups. But they have 12 varieties of coffee using beans from all over the world. Ambiance and service are lacking.
