Pollos Poncho

Chicken is a key ingredient in enchiladas, mole, and chilaquiles, so a restaurant entirely focused on poultry makes a lot of sense in CDMX. The options here are varied: you can get a Middle Eastern-inspired grilled flour tortilla sandwich slathered with labneh and shredded chicken, as well as the city’s most famous dish, tacos al pastor, with chicken subbed in for pork. We like to come here for a late lunch and get the whole roasted chicken with a side of rice, potatoes, guacamole, and freshly-pressed corn tortillas. The team behind this fun spot runs Mexico’s most famous churros chain, El Moro, so they’re no strangers to excelling at a short menu.
