    Madame Chipotle

    This place (located at "Cancino") is wonderful. I particularly recommend coming for breakfast/brunch. Get anything with tomatoes - the taste is so flavorful. I recommend chilaquiles rojos to satisfy Mexican craving and get some of that great tomato flavor. This is a local spot! I speak very little Spanish, but was able to get by. Definitely check it out if you're nearby.

    Beautiful little cafe about a 5 minute walk from Casa Luis Barragán, which is how we ended up here. The food was fantastic, possibly my favorite breakfast in Mexico City. I ordered the huevos de la semana (eggs of the week) and my boyfriend got the quiche lorraine and they were both super delicious. Service was extremely friendly and our server spoke English better than I speak Spanish--which isn't saying much but it was helpful! The food came out relatively quickly and we were in and out in about 45 minutes. I would loved to have lingered for longer since it was such a pleasant ambience but we had timed tickets so we had to run!

    We had brunch here. Loved their coffee and eggs. They have to do better job with chilliquilles. Ambience and service was excellent

    Lardo - Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms

    Maybe Lardo is better for breakfast, but we didn't feel it was fully worth the hype for lunch. We'd…read moremade a reservation in advance for Saturday at 2PM. The interior was brightly lit with a large beautiful bar, and had the vibe of a French cafe. We were brought out some complimentary (pita-like) bread, which was nice, but would have been better with something like olive oil to dip it in. My friend and I ordered 3 items to share - the Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms, Eggplant Parmesan, and Barbacoa. Portions were on the smaller side, but this was the perfect food quantity for us. The Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms were fine but a little bland. I liked the Eggplant Parmesan and Barbacoa, but neither really blew my mind. For everything I'd heard about Lardo, I felt like our experience was good but not amazing. Would check it out for breakfast to compare!

    This was, unfortunately, my worst meal in CDMX, and because it was also my most anticipated, that…read moremade it extra disappointing. We arrived a little early for our Monday night reservation and had to wait outside since they were busy. The ambiance inside is intimate- definitely a date-night vibe with tables very close together. We ordered the pizza, stuffed squash blossoms, kebab taco, and truffle gnocchi. The stuffed squash blossoms ended up being the most flavorful dish of the night- and that's not saying much, because most of the flavor came from the tomato sauce. The pizza was good, but nothing special. It was satisfying in a "carbs will save me" kind of way. We ordered the kebab taco cooked medium, but mine came out medium rare. If this were a steak, I wouldn't have minded, but ground beef at that temperature carries a food safety risk. After reading multiple reviews about people getting sick here, I wasn't comfortable taking that chance. I asked for it to be recooked, and the waitress was kind and brought out a fresh plate. It was decent, but again, nothing special. The truffle gnocchi was where things really went downhill. When it hit the table, it smelled like mildew. I know truffle can be strong and earthy, but this didn't seem right. I forced myself to take one bite so I wasn't judging off smell alone, but it tasted exactly how it smelled. My friend and I didn't even eat 1/8 of the dish, and it was the most expensive item we ordered. Low key felt like our waitress should've asked why we didn't eat the dish nor ask for it to be boxed but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The dessert, however, was the best thing I had all night. Truly divine. Now I can't tell if it was actually top-tier or if I was just so hungry and desperate for something good that it felt that way in the moment- but either way, it was the one bright spot. Overall, it just didn't live up to the hype which made it sting even more.
