Mexico City Bangers

Amber: Traditional preparation of heirloom corn varieties - everything that comes out of this kitchen is awesome. No menu but they're happy to accommodate preferences. Cash only (no ATM nearby)/close early

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

Amber: One of the classic restaurants of DF. Try to get a reservation, but if you can't, walking in on the early side is often successful. All the pastas are great, but my favorite is always the short rib.

Amber: Come for the excellent artisan coffee and friendly owner, but stay for the incredible japanese food - truly a hidden gem. Even if it's not on the menu, ask if the omu rice is available. 10/10

Radek Czemerys: Just great cocktails and vibe. Not too fancy.

Amber: If you're craving fried shrimp tacos, come here. 38 pesos each, perfectly crisp and tender, and all the toppings you could possibly want. Chile relleno also good. The horchata is decent too.

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

Amber: To me, the heart of Mexico City. Lush and well-landscaped, full of trees, cute doggos, wandering paths and lovely benches. Quiet and relaxing during the week, great for people watching on weekends.

Amber: Pretty much everything here is excellent, but the ham and cheese croissant is my go-to. In a city that struggles to do bread well, this place is here for you when you need a carb fix.

ᴡ Askenazi: Everything is good here. Pour overs, espressos, coffee drinks, natural wines and avocado toast.

Amber: All of the food is solid and the space is great. High ceilings and open air that looks out onto a public parklet. Highly recommend the fried chicken sandwich.

Amber: This second location is slightly more convenient, if less cute than the original. Tacos Kim are what you're here for - duck with cucumber and hoisin. 0% authentic Mexican, 100% delicious. Fast & cheap
