Located about a block away from the Zocalo, this local institution, which originally opened in 1969, serves arguably the best breakfast in the city. Before looking at the menu, go ahead and order the nata, which is clotted cream created from boiling raw milk. Pair it with a concha, a soft sweet pastry bread with a sugar crust for a breakfast appetizer. Then go crazy with chilaquiles, enchiladas, poached eggs in clay pots, and omelettes with ingredients you’ve probably never heard of. Best to get here early or be prepared to wait.

Rosetta in Roma is in a cool space, serves excellent Italian food, and has a long wine list.

Restaurante Nicos review image
Review

Nicos is a drive, but it’s worth the trip for excellent food from a family-owned traditional Mexican spot. Get the enchiladas and duck mole.

El Turix review image
Review

A tiny taco spot in Polanco that specializes in food from Yucatan - get the cochinita pibil tacos and panucho.

Kyo Sushi review image
Review

Mexico City has plenty of sushi, but Kyo is our favorite place to get it. There are only 13 seats in the restaurant, so be sure to make a reservation.
