Pujol

Reservations are a must. I tried the "Corn" tasting menu and it exceeded my expectations. The different types of corn tasted completely different than anything I've ever had. The corn tortillas were sweet, earthy, and toasted. The attention to detail was outstanding.

If you like Mexican food, you must try Pujol, a three-star Michelin restaurant in Mexico City, which was ranked 6th in the 2013 Latin America 50 Best Restaurants and the No. 1 restaurant in Mexico City. You need to make a reservation one month in advance! The taste is really unique!

Mexico City is a cosmopolitan city that has everything from Korean BBQ to top-notch Japanese sushi. You can enjoy homemade pasta at an Italian trattoria or a delicious burger on nearly every street corner. What is surprisingly difficult is finding a Mexican restaurant where you can enjoy local cuisine in a family-style setting. 1. Pujol Pujol is probably the most famous Mexican restaurant in the world. Chef Enrique Olvera was one of the first chefs in the country to modernize Mexican cuisine, daring to serve food that was previously only found from street vendors in his fine dining restaurants. In 2013, Restaurant magazine ranked Pujol as the 17th best restaurant in the world. This means that it is almost impossible to make a last-minute reservation, so if you want to dine here on your trip to Mexico City, be sure to book at least two months in advance. 2. Merotoro To make a reservation at Merotoro, you better plan ahead. Located in one of the busiest restaurants in the upscale suburb of Condesa, the only way to get in is to call (don't worry, they speak English). Merotoro serves food and wine from Mexico's Baja California region. Think big platters of seafood and sweet Sauvignon Blanc. 3. Yuban If you’re visiting Mexico City but want to try Oaxaca’s famous cuisine, Yuban is the place to go. I never knew there were so many types of mole sauces before coming to Yuban. For the bravest hearts, try the chapulín tacos. These little crickets are a specialty of the Oaxaca region, and when they’re deep-fried and tossed in a spicy sauce, you might just forget you’re eating bugs. 4. Cafe de Tacuba Being in business for over 100 years means Cafe de Tacuba must be doing something right. From the outside, this restaurant looks like a little hole in the wall, but once you’re inside, you’ll wonder why you haven’t heard more about this hidden gem. This Mexico City institution’s breakfast enchiladas will set you up for the day, and their beef with mole sauce will have you scraping your plate clean with fresh tortillas. 5. Nico’s Nico’s is a restaurant beloved by locals, but it’s not in chic Polanco or trendy Roma. You have to hike to the local neighborhood of Claveria to enjoy the food at Nico’s. We promise, it’s worth the subway ride or cab ride. It’s on the San Pellegrino list of the top 50 restaurants in Latin America. Here you can enjoy classic Mexican dishes in a family-style setting. All meat dishes are served with rich sauces and a pile of piping hot handmade tortillas. 6. El Bajío While this family-style restaurant has several branches in town, their Polanco restaurant is the most convenient if you’re staying downtown. It’s a casual spot where you can sit down and enjoy all the best antojitos (snacks/appetizers). What really brings locals back to El Bajío again and again is the carne asada, or braised pork. The pork is made daily by experts in Michoacán, the birthplace of the dish. They prepare the roasted meat with tequila and beer, and after hours of simmering, the meat melts in your mouth. 7. La Casa de Toño When it comes to its pozole, a traditional Mexican soup usually made with pork, La Casa de Toño has two options – meat or vegetable. If you order meat, be prepared to find every part of the pig in your bowl. The vegetable version comes with corn and zucchini flowers. If you want to sample more dishes, this popular Mexico City chain also serves tacos, tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas. Don’t leave without a flan de la abuela (grandma’s flan) for dessert. It’s the best in town. 8. El Cardenal While the restaurant is open all day and serves classic Mexican fare that’s worth waiting in line for, it’s its breakfast that makes it so popular in the city. Enjoy the Mexican-style hot chocolate and nata bread to dip it in, and that’s just the appetizer. You can indulge in large plates of chili, enchiladas or omelettes cooked with ant larvae, a delicacy. 9. Quintonil Quintonil combines its fine-dining reputation with a very laid-back atmosphere. Just a few blocks from upscale Pujol in Polanco, Quintonil offers equally delicious food, but without the hassle of reserving a table four months in advance. The menu changes every season, so you can enjoy fresh Mexican produce at its peak. You’ll always find plenty of seafood, mole sauce, and nopales (flat cactus) on the menu. 10. Fonda Fina The menu at Fonda Fina is divided into three sections. First you choose the meat you want. Options include grilled chicken, beef cheeks, or octopus. Next, you choose which sauce you want it with. If you’re unsure about which mole to choose or which spice is right for you, be sure to ask your server. Their English is great. Finally, you choose your sides. I personally recommend the garlic roasted potatoes. They go well with everything. Tucked away on a side street in Roma Norte, Fonda Fina is packed all week, so reserving a table is recommended.

Due to time constraints, I only stayed in Mexico City for one night. I had decided several months in advance to reserve this precious night for an authentic Mexican dinner. 🥘About PUJOL, located in Mexico City, it has long been rated as one of the world's 50 best restaurants. It is currently ranked 12th and the fourth best restaurant in Latin America. It is a Mexican creative cuisine restaurant. It is said that the chef has traveled to many countries in the world and has innovated traditional dishes through his own techniques, bringing the deliciousness to a new level. 🍴Reservation: If the date and time are required, it is best to make a reservation three months in advance or earlier. I made a reservation two or three months in advance and only had 21:45 left. Reservation official website:, the webpage can be selected in English or Spanish. Address: francisco petrarca 254 | polanco 11570, mexico city. Phone: +52 55 5545 4111 The restaurant is in the polanco district, which is a bit like a rich area. It looks relatively low-key from the outside. The interior environment is elegant, mainly in gray tones, and the decoration is simple and a bit Japanese. It is said that the chef is also deeply influenced by Japanese culture. The restaurant is basically full, and the waiters are busy coming and going. It seems that this restaurant is well-deserved to be so lively on non-working nights. Most locals wear suits and leather shoes, which seems too casual for tourists like us. Of course, there is no requirement for clothing here, and it all depends on people's sense of ritual. I remember that when we made an appointment, the tasting menu was written online. It seems that if it is dinner, it is a tasting menu, and if it is a daytime meal, it is a tacos menu. The content of the set meal is basically set on the day, so you will see it before dining and the dishes will be served in order. Each dish will be served in order, and the waiter will introduce the ingredients, characteristics, and eating methods of each dish. But in fact, due to language limitations and too many professional terms such as ingredients and cooking, you can only understand it half-heartedly. It is recommended to use translation software for voice translation haha. The famous Mexican Mole Madre is made with two different mole sauces and more than 20 kinds of spices. One of the sauces is fresh, and the other is very old. Each person gets it for a different number of days. The sauce we had that day was 2006 days old. The number of days was handwritten on the menu. It was eaten with their tacos. It was not delicious or bad, but it was very special.
