Rank 3. Los Danzantes
Contemporary Mexican
Set in a historic building on the edge of Coyoacán's main plaza, Los Danzantes is a contemporary Mexican restaurant that draws a steady crowd of locals and travelers alike. The kitchen leans into regional technique, and some dishes have held their spot on the menu for over two decades, which in this city is its own kind of argument. A sister restaurant operates in Oaxaca under the same name but runs its own entirely separate menu.
-
Rank 4. Sud 777
Mexican
Tucked into the ritzy Pedregal neighborhood, Sud 777 is a sprawling Mexican restaurant with lofted ceilings, dark wood, and earthy tones that suggest money without shouting about it. Edgar Núñez holds a Michelin star here, running both a tasting menu and a serious à la carte. The suckling pig finished pibil-style, served with house tortillas for DIY tacos, is the dish regulars rearrange their evenings around.

Rank 18. Taquería El Vilsito
Mexican
The spinning trompos and roaring grill share a parking lot with an auto repair shop, which tells you most of what you need to know about this famous late-night taqueria. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and everyone comes for the al pastor, shaved pork with pineapple stacked improbably high. Order the gringa on a flour tortilla with melted cheese if you don't mind getting your hands involved.

Mexican
The orange awning and the smell of frying pork will find you before you find this taqueria in a quiet residential corner of Álvaro Obregón. The specialty is Milanese-style tacos, breaded cutlets sliced into strips and piled onto corn tortillas, finished with lime and house-made green or red salsa. The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks. Bring cash, and don't plan anything too athletic afterward.

A second-floor taqueria in Del Valle where the built-in charcoal grill does double duty: cooking the tacos al carbon and keeping the dining room warm enough that the breezy patio starts to look appealing. The thinly sliced meats are grilled and then diced before hitting the tortilla, and the arrachera comes with a rosy pink center that argues its case without any help. Vegetarian options hold their own too. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.
-
Rank 26. Voraz
Mexican
A former auto shop in Roma Sur now runs on achiote-seasoned pig ears, oyster gorditas, and savoury churros. Voraz calls itself a gastro-cantina, which means the menu ranges wide, the room runs loud, and the chef, a NOMA and Fäviken alumnus, describes the whole experience as "delicious but organised chaos." Condé Nast Traveler named it among the best new restaurants in the world in 2024. Come ready to talk to strangers.

Rank 27. Rosetta
Creative Mexican
Elena Reygadas swapped English literature for cooking, and the curriculum shows: Rosetta is a creative Mexican restaurant where cabbage stands in for tortillas and pistachio does the work of pumpkin seeds, dishes that read like close readings of a tradition rather than departures from it. The room fills fast with people who trust the kitchen to do something worth thinking about. It holds a Michelin star and a spot on the World's 50 Best list.

Contemporary Mexican
Named for the chef's daughter, this intimate fine dining room on a quiet Roma Norte street holds a Michelin star and a spot on Latin America's 50 Best list. The kitchen takes Mexican ingredients, heavy on seafood, somewhere unexpected: grilled young corn in coffee and yuzu butter, caviar over Veracruz fish stew. Upstairs, the 686 Bar is a perfectly reasonable excuse to linger before you sit down.

Rank 31. Máximo
French-influenced Mexican
Soaring ceilings and white brick hold onto the building's industrial past while the room itself feels effortlessly cool, which is the Roma Norte way. Máximo is a fine dining restaurant where French technique bends toward Mexican ingredients and hyper-seasonality, sourced by the team from producers they've been visiting for years. Dishes shift constantly, desserts lean savory, and the whole thing moves at a pace that assumes you're staying a while. It holds a Michelin star and a spot on Latin America's 50 Best list.

Mexican Wine Bar
A counter built around a living tree anchors the outdoor terrace at this wine bar on a shaded Condesa street, and once you've found that seat, leaving feels like a bad idea. The kitchen blends Mexican and Japanese instincts in ways that make complete sense on the plate, and the natural wine list is serious without being solemn. The Michelin Guide has given it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks.

Rank 35. LINA
Contemporary Mexican
An arched door on a Roma Norte side street opens into a warm corridor of blond wood, white walls, and pendant lighting, with an open kitchen built around a wood-fire grill. LINA is an elegant but unstuffy contemporary Mexican seafood restaurant where the menu follows what local farmers are actually growing, and the chef's careful, well-traveled hand shows in things like beautifully charred squash with smoky pine nut sauce. The crowd dresses up just enough to feel like the room deserves it.

Rank 36. Maizajo
Corn-Centric Mexican
Salmon-tiled from floor to ceiling, Maizajo is a tortillería, taquería, and full sit-down restaurant stacked across two floors in Condesa. Downstairs, fresh tortillas in regional corn varieties anchor tacos you dress at the salsa bar; upstairs, the kitchen goes further with tamales, mole, and grilled meats on proper plates. Chef Santiago Muñoz has spent years recovering heirloom corn varieties, and the tortillas here make that case quietly but clearly.

Rank 37. El Hidalguense
Rustic Mexican
Sheep and goat wrapped in maguey leaves, buried underground with coals, and slow-roasted overnight in Hidalgo state, then trucked into Roma Sur every weekend. This two-story barbacoa shop is only open Friday through Sunday, which concentrates the crowd accordingly. The sturdy wooden tables and colorful runners make it relatively dressy by barbacoa standards, which is to say you won't be eating off a folding table. Order by weight and start with the consommé.

Rank 38. Esquina Común
Mexican
Reservations here are handled exclusively through Instagram DMs, which should tell you something about the kind of place this is before you've even arrived. Esquina Común is a Michelin-starred tasting menu spot on a covered rooftop in Condesa, draped in greenery and run by a young team with a sharp sense of technique. The menu leans into Mexican tradition and the portions are sized for sharing, which keeps the table convivial.

Rank 42. Quintonil
New-wave Mexican
A quiet facade on a Polanco side street opens into a room of blond wood, vine-draped walls, and Mexican art, where the tasting menu reads like a field guide to ingredients most kitchens ignore. Chef Jorge Vallejo, who came up through Noma and Pujol, holds two Michelin stars and a spot at number three on the World's 50 Best list. Indigenous corn, insects, herbs, and wild mushrooms arrive in compositions that feel personal rather than performative.

Rank 43. Gaba
Innovative Mexican
Concrete floors and exposed brick in Condesa's Hipódromo neighborhood, but the kitchen is more ambitious than the room lets on. Gaba runs as a casual café by day, then pivots at night into something sharper, with Chef Victor Toriz sending out inventive Mexican small plates built around offal, seafood, and produce handled with real confidence. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand, and the space is never empty.

Baja Mexican
A tree-lined street in Condesa, a terrace made for lingering, and a menu that treats Baja California's coastal larder as a serious argument for Mexican fine dining. Chef Jair Téllez keeps the cooking direct, balancing seafood and meat without fuss. The room is contemporary but warm enough that the tasting menu doesn't feel like homework. Michelin has it in the Guide.

Rank 45. Expendio de Maíz
Mexican
Four communal tables, no sign, no menu, cash only, and a Michelin star. The math at this Roma Norte sidewalk spot is its own argument. The kitchen runs on heirloom corn nixtamalized and ground in house, and whatever lands in front of you, tortillas or huaraches or sopes, gets shaped and griddled to order before disappearing under seasonal sauces. The tableside salsas arrive with serious intent. No reservations, and the waitlist moves at its own pace.

Rank 47. Contramar
Seafood
The pescado a la talla arrives split down the middle, one half painted red, the other green, which is either very festive or very patriotic depending on your mood. This Roma seafood restaurant from Gabriela Cámara holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and has been packing in the city's art crowd and extended-lunch faithful for years. By Friday afternoon the rosé is flowing and nobody is leaving anytime soon. Reservations are not optional.

The mole madre has been on the menu for years, darkening and deepening as new batches are folded into the old, and by now it's less a sauce than a living archive. Enrique Olvera's Polanco dining room holds two Michelin stars and a spot on the World's 50 Best, and a seasonal tasting menu threads through contemporary Mexican cooking with the kind of confidence that doesn't need to announce itself. The room is sleek and buzzy, servers in sharp black.

Seafood
Gleaming stainless steel and seafoam green tiles give this Roma Norte corner spot the feel of a diner that wandered off course and ended up obsessing over oysters. It's a casual seafood bistro with a raw bar, counter stools, and an open kitchen keeping things honest. Clams, crudos, a lobster roll, and daily specials round out a menu that swings from raw bar snacks to pasta without losing focus. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand.

Bamboo towers over the courtyard at this Thai restaurant in Roma Norte, where woven pendants and trailing vines make the setting feel genuinely removed from the street outside. Chef Somsri Raksamran tends her own herb garden and harvests to order, which shows in the green curry's brightness. The menu covers Thailand's northeast, central plains, and south, and holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand for the trouble.

Seafoam-green banquettes and ash-blonde wood give this Korean restaurant in Condesa the look of somewhere that knows exactly what it's doing. The menu is tight and confident, moving from kimchi and smashed cucumbers through a prime-rib barbecue spread that takes over the table, with warm gimbap and a banana cake at the end that looks like it belongs in a magazine. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and it carries the distinction quietly.

A bright green facade on a Roma Norte corner marks this low-key cafe, where the menu changes weekly and the kitchen leans on vegetables and whatever fish looked good that morning. The chef's background runs through Buenos Aires, Europe, and New York, and a quiet Mediterranean note runs through the Mexican cooking. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand. Bring a book, bring your mom, or bring a Tinder date you may need to escape.

Elena Reygadas runs this snug European-style bakery in Roma Norte, and the guava and ricotta Danish alone explains the line out the door. In a city where the standard pan dulce leans dry and margarine-heavy, the pastries here pull from an Italian-inflected pantry: airy conchas, chocolate-glazed donuts, focaccia, rustic loaves. Come early, order a coffee, then pick up a box to take to a park.

The samosas here are filled with suadero, which tells you everything about what Norma Listman and Saqib Keval are doing at this Michelin-starred restaurant in Centro. African, Indian, and Mexican cooking converge without any one tradition elbowing the others aside. Veracruz prawns arrive aggressively grilled with vanilla butter; the table fills fast with people who came specifically for exactly this.

A bistro-sized room in Roma Norte where the kitchen is basically the bar, so ordering a drink comes with a front-row view of the line. Martínez is a contemporary restaurant drawing loose inspiration from French bistro energy filtered through Mexican and Japanese touches, the kind of menu that's short enough to read in one go. Named Mexico's Best New Restaurant in 2023, it fills early and stays loud.

A three-story townhouse in Roma Norte where the name tells you everything: "sarde" means sardine, and the kitchen stays fixed on Mexico's coastlines. This is a contemporary seafood restaurant where the cold raw preparations, Japanese-cut fish included, get as much care as the plating. The exposed brick bar does real work for solo diners, and the cocktails hold their own. A Michelin Guide selected restaurant.

An old-school institution this is not, but it eats like one.

Roaming musicians and big families dressed up for celebrations set the tone at this grand, old-school Mexican restaurant in the Centro Histórico.

Formal without being stiff, the kind of place where lunch can quietly become the whole afternoon.

Daily specials and crudo are worth asking about, and the locally priced tabs explain why the regulars are always already there.

The menu is built for sharing, and the Michelin Bib Gourmand keeps it approachable on the bill.

The signature beef broth soup has been on the menu forever, and no one is changing it. This old-school cantina on Chapultepec runs on mahogany paneling, power-lunch tequila rounds, and formal family gatherings that have probably occupied the same table for decades. The menu reads like a time capsule of midcentury Mexican dining, heavy on braised tongue, hearts of palm, and salt-baked fish. Dress up; the room expects it.
