    Beautiful Space Opens To Sidewalk
    Parker G.

    Super cute and relaxing breakfast spot with great coffee drinks and egg sandwiches!! We stopped by in the morning to grab a couple of the egg sandwiches they offer on the menu, and found the space inside to be super cute, airy, breezy, and relaxing! It opens out onto the sidewalk and it felt really nice to just hang out there for a bit and soak up the atmosphere. There was just one lady working, but she was very friendly and had our sandwich orders out very quickly, pipin' hot and all! I just had the Clara, which was very hearty and delicious. I split it with someone else, as I personally found it big and filling enough to be shared! This is definitely a great spot to stop by in the morning if you're in the La Condesa area - I very much so recommend!

    A little gem. The staff were all very kind and the food was amazing. The bread was incredibly fresh and the coffee was was tasty. Really nice foam on my cappuccino.

    Very delicious Cafe de Olla cold brew & Vietnamese cold brew. Quick service, friendly staff.

    Small little breakfast spot that won't disappoint! Absolutely loved their breakfast sandwiches especially their brioche bread. The service was super fast and all around amazing place to go for a quick breakfast.

    Perfect little neighborhood place with an authentic vibe, great service and comforting menu. We found it just around the corner from our Airbnb and so glad we did!

    Breakfast sandwiches

    This was a solid breakfast choice. Not busy, quick service, sandwiches were good. The hot sauces were good as well - especially the spicy mustard. The cold brew was also surprisingly good - would absolutely come back for a quick breakfast on my next trip.

    Clara y Ema serves the most delicious breakfast egg sandwiches and is perfect for a quick bite without the fuss. All sandwiches are served with their signature brioche bread which is incredibly soft and fluffy. I opted for the Clara, which has bacon, egg, and cheese served with chipotle mayo. The ingredients are simple yet flavorful and come together beautifully. I also recommend ordering their freshly squeezed orange juice!!

    Of course, I used Yelp to find this place! It was my last day in CDMX. I wanted a full breakfast. The reviews seemed good. So I took a quick Uber to this place from my hotel. I came hangry and ready to feast. It was not crowded, and I was easily able to get seated. The place is cute, indoor/outdoor feel, with counter seats at the large open windows. With wifi (fyi for travelors). Very chill, with folks on laptops, or with their dogs or kids. Food - I had one combo meal (which includes a breakfast sandwich, oj, and coffee), and then I ordered a 2nd sandwich. Sandwiches, I got the Clara & Claudio. After eating both, I was full. The juice seemed fresh squeezed, which I liked. The combo is a good deal for the price and portion. I liked the runny egg sandwich the best. Service - was slow, but the server was alone. I'm not holding it against them. The server and I made it through with my minimal Spanish in communicating. I think she was surprised that I tipped so generously. Overall, nice neighborhood joint, easy place for breakfast.

    Cute little breakfast sandwich spot in Condesa near our airbnb. We walked by here a few times and finally decided to try it on our last day visiting Mexico City. Simple and straightforward with quality ingredients made for a great sandwich. I got the Clara, which had egg, bacon, and chipotle mayo on a brioche bun. The bread was super soft and light, but still kept together to hold all the fixings. We got the combo with came with orange juice and a coffee. The iced cafe de olla was just perfect, not too sweet. Service was prompt and super helpful. Def recommend this spot for breakfast or to-go while out adventuring the city!

    We stopped in for a late breakfast while staying in Condesa. The staff was really nice and we ordered two Emmas with an Orange Juice and a Cold Brew. The Cold Brew was decent but the OJ was very, very good!! Now onto the sandwiches. The Brioche is insanely soft! It almost doesn't make sense but it's delicious and the texture is like nothing you'll ever have. The caramelized onions were also a very good touch. The only issue was that the eggs could've used a bit more seasoning. If you're in the area, add this to your list!

    A great small breakfast/brunch spot in CDMX. We had a breakfast sandwich and fruit bowl - both were fantastic. Helpful staff for non-Spanish speakers and great coffee too.

    Grabbed breakfast here every day I was in CDMX, and I highly recommend. The Clara and the Ema sandwiches are so good, the perfect hangover cure from nights of mezcal. Highly recommend their cafe de olla cold brew, the patio is nice and breezy and perfectly shaded too!

    Ema sandwich with avocado and cold brew
    Tiffany R.

    Delicious! We ordered the Ema and added avocado. The bread looks huge, but it's light and airy and not as overwhelming as it looks. The sweetness of the caramelized onions with the spicy aioli is perfection.

    It's funny,sometimes when your super hyped for a trip,You read reviews,you watch videos,you do all…read moreyou can to prepare for all the cool things you can do on your trip. Well La Esquina Del Chilaquil was for sure one of those places. Super hyped-lots of social media videos on it and it's one of the "cheap eats" spots all the influencers say one must visit when going to Mexico City. It's so hyped that they sold out the first 2x the wife and I tried to go there. Somehow my angel of a wife agreed to try them for a third time and this time we were able to get our hands on some tortas. So basically what they are famous for is these viral breakfast type tortas that are filled with chilaquiles inside. What I didn't know until I got the sandwich in hand was that they also came with either a chicken cutlet or a pork cutlet. Because of a slight language barrier,I ended up after a short line ordering two of the tortas both with chicken cutlets. So it's basically,chicken cutlets,beans,crema,cheese and chilaquiles inside a torta sandwich roll. Pretty basic and inexpensive,only cost 50 Pesos($2.85 USD) each. Everything is to go,so we found a little park nearby to eat our sandwiches. Sadly,the tortas were just more disappointing than great.The chilaquiles lacked any crunch,the flavors were decent but maybe it was the unexpected chicken cutlet,not sure,it just wasn't a great dining experience overall. Reading other reviews,I see I'm in the minority on this one and maybe it was just an off day or maybe my expectations were too high but yeah they just didn't work out too well for me. I will say this,they sell out every single day,so if you do plan on going to try em out,try to get there before 11am to guarantee your torta. Here is to hoping your experience is better than mine-Be Safe Out There.

    Okay. AMAZING. We…read morecame on a Tuesday around 9:30 pm and luckily there was no line. There's no menu and no real sign, so we double-checked it was the right place by asking someone who was already eating . The team didn't speak English, so we basically got whatever they decided to make for us. I was hoping for chicken anyway, so it worked out, but my friend and I originally planned to share and try two different proteins. I DEVOURED the chicken torta chilaquiles sandwich. It did start to get a little tough towards finish towards the end, but I powered through because it was such a flavor bomb. No way I was leaving that behind. I was expecting the chilaquiles to be crunchy, and they weren't- but they also weren't soggy in a gross way. The texture actually worked in the sandwich, and the flavor was so good. And THE CREMA. So rich. So yum. Big fan. It filled me up for the entire day. Zero regrets.

We tried a few juices, the chicken tomato salad and the salmon tacos. The salad was huge with a big portion of chicken, avocado and many toppings for a reasonable price. The tacos were smaller but flavorful. Taking off a star because my salad arrived almost 15 minutes before my boyfriend's tacos arrived and the restaurant was pretty empty. The lights were out in the bathroom and in part of the restaurant, so not sure if they were dealing with a partial power outage and impact to the kitchen. Still recommend for the food!

What really says it all? We loved it so much, we went back the very next day. This was the only restaurant we repeated during our week-long stay, which should tell you everything. The menu is extensive and thoughtfully curated--fresh, flavorful, and something for everyone. We tried the croissant sandwich, salmon deli nut sandwich, chutney mango deli sandwich, santos ahogados, fig chipotle deli sandwich, pear honey deli sandwich, and the spicy tuna deli sandwich. The sandwiches came with a standard simple salad. Every single item was delicious, well-balanced, and satisfying in that "clean but filling" way. The tables had two delicious spicy chili oil like condiments which elevated each of these dishes. And the juices--WOW. So refreshing, vibrant, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The perfect complement to the food and ideal for starting (or resetting) your day. If you're visiting Mexico City, Ojo de Agua is an absolute must. With such a wide menu, you're guaranteed to find something you'll love--and very likely come back for more. Highly recommend!

I should have chosen the one with chile habañero, but that is sometimes too spicy. The enchiladas in green sauce were simple and good, if a little bland. The Sopa Aguascalientes was served with the ingredients in a cylinder, to which the server poured the hot broth. Again, it was okay, but rather bland and the bits of chile poblano and corn were tiny and few. I prefer soups without cream, but at least the broth, as described, had only a little cream. The meals come as is, no bread, tortillas or salsas unless requested. Service is polite. The ambiance is the best part. The patio dining offers great views of the park and stunning architecture.
