Potzollcalli is one of your food options within the food court in Terminal 2, Mexico City airport…read moreright by the check in area. They're located five stores deep down the row of restaurants, four stores past Starbucks.
I was looking for a good Mexican breakfast and order the huevos rancheros. It came with beans and fresh squeezed orange juice. I added a coffee to my order.
The service was friendly and prompt. The food was like it was made at home, and very good. It is authentic Mexican food. They use all natural ingredients and even make their own mole.
I did not realize their coffee is cafe de olla until I got to my table. This is a special kind of Mexican coffee which is quite good if you are in the mood for it. But it has a very unique flavor. The coffee is prepared in a clay pot, and they add raw sugar (known in Mexico as "piloncillo", or in Colombia as "panela"). All the flavors, including the taste of the clay pot come through in the coffee if it is authentic. This was. If that does not sound good to you, you can always get your coffee at Starbucks or at the 7-Eleven across the way.
Since this restaurant is more like a food stand within a food court, the bathrooms are serviced by the airport not the restaurant. There is one common area with tables and chairs for dining. There are a few places which offer power outlets to recharge your devices.
For what it is, this establishment does a very good job.
After you dine, if you have the time, I recommend you go by the Memoria Fotográfica de México on your way back into the check-in area and to your gate. It is a an amazing display of photographs from Mexico's colorful and rich history.
