Hamburguesa Mataleón – Mexico City
Mataleón is beyond Bohemian. It’s irreverent and rough around the edges, but has outstanding burgers and fries at a very reasonable price. If the hip-hop and heavy-metal personality doesn’t scare you away, this is a great place for a burger.

La Unica has a nice ambiance, good food and friendly, attentive service. It’s a great place to watch the trendy crowd come and go. A bit expensive though.

Casa Portuguesa stands out as our top pick for Sunday brunch, thanks to its delightful terrace overlooking the park, impeccable service, and extensive selection of breakfast offerings.

Rooftop terrace overlooking the excavation of the Templo Mayor with a limited menu of salads and sandwiches. The food and service are acceptable but the view can’t be beat. Equally good for cocktails.

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.

Debbie & Peponne – Mexico City
Debbie & Peponne’s waffle was good but I’d have been more happy with a standard waffle, topped with creamy butter and syrup. The way mom used to do it. Slightly crisp on the outside, steaming and soft inside.
Nonsolo – Polanco – CDMX
True, the prices are pretty low. And the service was adequate. But bad food, even if free, is not a value.
Nobu – Mexico City
Nobu in Polanco impresses with its exquisite design and decor, accompanied by exceptional service. Renowned chef Nobu Matsuhisa elevates Japanese cuisine to gourmet heights, as evidenced by standout dishes like the Sea Bass in Dry Miso. While some offerings, like the sashimi, may fall short of expectations, Nobu’s overall dining experience remains memorable and worthy of praise.

A first-rate little restaurant with heart, soul, and good food specializing in food accompanied by raclette, a melted Swiss cheese. Chilaquiles with eggs and molletes for breakfast, sandwiches and salads.
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.
Caffé Biscottino – Mexico City
It’s as cute as a button inside. Has a few tables out on the sidewalk to enjoy that beautiful Mexico City weather. They do the coffee right. 100% Oaxocan beans, with a mild roast but plenty of rich of flavor.
La Aceituna for Breakfast – Mexico City
Service was top-notch with an army of waiters scurrying about on the terrace attending to every request. The WIFI worked flawlessly.

Wanting something other than chilaquiles or huevos Rancheros for breakfast. It’s your lucky day.
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.

Lardo – Condesa – Mexico City
Gourmet quality food in a casual setting. Always busy and buzzing. Almost as good for people watching as it is for dining.

Not flashy. Not trendy. Just well executed and creative Mexican food at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Consistent quality and service make El Cardenal the place you “go back to” in Mexico City.
Taquería El Caifän – Mexico City
No need to spill that street taco on your Gucci loafers. Take it indoors to a fast casual dining room setting. Tacos, hauraches and other Mexican street fare with a variety of fresh condiments to pile on top. A meal for under US$5. A super value.
