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

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.

While the bones of its industrial past are present, this chic Roma Norte restaurant's gorgeous space boasts whitewashed brick, mesquite wood furnishings and soaring ceilings. It's breezy and beautiful—and you'll want to linger for hours. Chef Eduardo Garcia's French and globally influenced Mexican cuisine draws attention. Order à la carte or try their tasting menu; either way you will be delighted by the intentional cooking here. Aguachile is given a glow-up, featuring sweet sea scallops and a bright dragon fruit sauce spiced with green chile. Seared fish is gorgeously seared and plated with a

Rosetta

Creative, Mexican · ★ Michelin

Chef Elena Reygadas's Rosetta is a perennial favorite, packed with a crowd that comes here for creative cooking that is decidedly Mexican but is inflected with global influences. Dishes are designed for sharing, ideal for those who want to sample more of her ingenious creations like the cabbage tacos with two small rounds of Savoy cabbage, served warm with pistachio puree and romeritos. Blending interesting flavors and textures, this dish is a great play on expectations, and its different shades of green are visually arresting.

Mexican, Contemporary · ★ Michelin

A pre-dinner cocktail at the moody 686 Bar upstairs is a smart way to start an evening in the capable hands of Chef Lucho Martinez. Named for his daughter Emilia, the intimate restaurant on the ground floor suits couples well, while the handsome kitchen takes a contemporary look at Mexican ingredients, many of which are seafood. Think grilled young corn served in a sauce made of coffee, browned butter and yuzu or a tostada bearing Veracruz-style fish stew topped with shaved avocado and caviar. The signature dessert celebrates all things mamey, arriving as a Swiss roll and frozen tartlet. Refin

Expendio de Maíz

Mexican · ★ Michelin

With only four communal tables, no sign, and no menu, this cash-only, sidewalk operation in Roma Norte offers a surprising experience that prioritizes food over fuss. In place of typical creature comforts, find a bustling kitchen that cooks and cooks until diners tap out. It is anyone’s guess as to what’s coming but know that heirloom corn nixtamalized and ground in house serves as the foundation for many of the dishes. Tortillas, sopes, and huaraches alike are molded and griddled to order and then dressed in a dazzling variety of seasonal ingredients and sauces. Tableside salsas pack lightnin

Ultramarinos Demar

Seafood, Mexican · Bib

Located in the trendy Roma neighborhood, this corner spot features an interesting diner-meet-bistro look with loads of gleaming stainless steel along with an open kitchen fronted by a counter set with stools. Meanwhile, Chef Lucho Martinez's seafood-loving menu has it all, with a raw section to pastas and main dishes, but don't gloss over the daily specials, either. A blue corn tostada layered with seafood pâté and steamed shrimp is a nice opener, as is a bowl of thick and satisfying clam chowder. Tuck into a lobster roll or a softshell crab sandwich, if available, before enjoying every last l

La 89

Mexican · Bib

In beautiful Roma Norte, head to this brightly lit nook for an excellent selection of carne asada tacos, birria, and tortas. Nothing is rushed or done without care, as the kitchen takes its time grilling everything to order. Quesabirria is a winner with and without the delicate consommé. Carne asada features excellent sear and seasoning. Also not to be missed are the fantastic tortas, built on excellent bread and layered with precision. The sparse dining room is a simple affair of plastic stools and metal tables.
