Pujol

When you tell someone you’re visiting Mexico City, there’s a 75% chance they’ll respond by saying, “Oh are you going to...what’s that place called?” If you feel like talking to this person, finish their sentence with “Pujol.” This high-end Mexican spot in the middle of Polanco is one of the best-known restaurants in the world, and one of the hardest to get into—reservations open a year in advance, and you’ll need to plan months ahead to get a table. They do a ten-course taco omakase at the bar, as well as a tasting menu in the dining room. Whichever you choose, the star of your meal will be the mole. It’s been cooking continuously since 2013, and tastes like a light and complex melted chocolate.
