CDMX Approved

Richie Stark: An absolute winner. Great tacos, esp the Chicharron prensado. Many options, and they all looked good.

Amber: The tuna tostadas are just as good as everyone says, and don't forget a slice of fig tart for dessert.

Amber: Serves a full menu of snacks and drinks, but know you're really here for the doughnuts, the pastries, and the super addictive savory-sweet bollos de romero.

Amber: Skip the food and instead order drinks. The gin and tonic is dope thanks to a cucumber infusion; mezcal and sangrita are a classic choice.

Amber: Unlike everything else in the area, it's decidedly no frills. You're here for the cochinita pibil. The roasted, braised meat is meltingly tender and needs only a topping of pickled onions.

Amber: Unlisted address, get a reservation by calling their number on facebook. Guest bartenders change nightly.

Amber: Molecular gastronomy meets cocktails.

Amber: One of the only 24/7 joints in DF, they have all the classics available but you're here for the pozole

Amber: everyone is here for the chamorro, a braised pork shank served with an endless supply of tortillas.

Amber: A hole-in-the-wall mezcal bar without signage. The menu is an intense booklet mapping out how and where every bottle is made.

Amber: Small, quirky mezcal bar that opens onto a tree-lined Condesa street

Amber: Get the Al Pastor. One of the best places to finish off a long, drunken night.

Amber: Slightly upscale but not pretentious or overly modern, and the food never disappoints. Try the cochinita pibil, and one of their margaritas.

Amber: In the back of Lenox is Parker, a cozy, dimly lit cocktail den that also offers live jazz on most nights and the occasional burlesque show. Menu has 30 cocktails, but the classics are also on point.
