Masala y Maíz

Fusion · ★ Michelin

Always buzzing, Masala y Maiz draws curious diners eager for a taste of this highly original cuisine. Chefs Norma Listman and Saqib Keval cook with a seamless style, effortlessly blending African, Indian, and Mexican cuisines. This is food that leaves a lasting impression, as in samosas tucked with suadero or potato with pepitas and topped with vibrant sauces. Superb prawns from Veracruz are grilled aggressively and come with melting butter infused with vanilla, while chilpachole, a red-hued seafood stew from Veracruz, is revamped with a tamal colado and softshell crab. The meal concludes on a

Pink Rambo

Contemporary · Bib

There's certainly nothing ordinary about Pink Rambo. This unique spot in Santa María la Ribera proudly shares their irreverence, and just in case you're questioning their quirk, take a look at that buff Jesus doing a pull-up on the large crucifix hanging over the kitchen. The dishes are as distinctive as the decor, with an eclectic blend of shareable plates infused with plenty of personality. This is cooking that's free of boundaries; a menu where empanadas sit side-by-side with shrimp dumplings and fried chicken. Order a slew of items (don't worry—the plates are small) and find yourself surpr

Taqueria Los Cocuyos

Mexican · Bib

This taqueria in Centro Historico has been a mainstay since 1980. Standing by a cauldron of meats bubbling away, a chef at the front wields a cleaver with lightning speed. An expansive dining room speaks to just how busy this place gets. Offerings are numerous but recent highlights include tender, melting cabeza as well as the classic al pastor, both finished tableside with salsas and a squeeze of lime. Swing for the suadero later in the evening when the meats have had plenty of time to braise.

Nicos

Traditional Cuisine, Mexican

Nicos was once a humble stand selling sodas and snacks until one day a customer saw employees eating something delicious and the restaurant was born. The son of the founder now serves as chef, overseeing a tasting menu of classic Mexican cuisine features such standouts as taco de cecina crujiente on a corn tortilla that delivers characteristic intensity. and a flavor-packed, bright dish of camarones al tamarindo. An enchilada stuffed with tasado and beans and bathed in a pixtle sauce from Oaxaca is an aromatic, tasty crowd-pleasing dish, while the aguachile comes with a feisty kick thanks to f

Limosneros

Mexican, Traditional Cuisine

Taking its name from the "limosneros walls" built in ancient times, this centrally located spot is perfectly poised for downtown dwellers and visitors. From the remnants of an old fountain in the entrance hall to the walls hung with mirrors from Tlayacapan, Puebla talavera, and Huichol embroidery, this place is loaded with charm. This kitchen has a clear respect for tradition, even reviving old recipes, but it's all done with an infusion of contemporary flair. Opt for the tasting menu and you'll be rewarded with a tour of their flavorful, well-prepared cuisine, or choose the unusual-but-intrig

Taquería El Califa de León

Mexican

After more than half a century in business, this taqueria, with just enough room for a handful of diners to stand at its counter, has earned is place in Mexico City's taco pantheon. Its signature creation, the Gaonera taco features thinly sliced beef filet, seared to order and seasoned simply with salt and lime, cooked alongside fresh corn tortillas. A handful of other options, including chuleta (pork chop) and costilla (beef rib) are likewise worth considering, and a duo of excellent house-made salsas make for fine accompaniments.

Taqueria El Paisa

Mexican

On a corner in San Rafael, this bustling taqueria is a well-oiled machine. Everyone comes for the suadero, which is best ordered late in the evening when the meat has had hours to braise in its own fat. The al pastor is worth a try too. Whatever the order, tacos are on the small side so aim for three or four per person. Once through the queue, people eat wherever they can: sitting on the curb, leaning against a building, or on the hoods of their cars.

Taco Tasting Room

Mexican

$$$$

Taco Tasting Room isn't just the name of this energetic spot; it's a hint at what's offered inside. Pull up a seat at the counter and settle in for a journey across Mexico with a dozen courses. It's a veritable feast, though a manageable one with just a few bites per course. It's all highly creative and offers a good value. Diners may expect items such as a crisp tostada layered with kampachi, sea urchin and tangerine; an enchilada with nutty, creamy mole and torched sunflower hearts; a suckling pig carnitas taco; and corn esquites with charbroiled ribeye and grasshopper mayonnaise, among othe
