The Top 100 Places to Eat Near Chow Chow House

  1. Contramar is the kind of seafood restaurant that makes you realize you've been doing lunch wrong your whole life. Colonia Roma's loudest, happiest room fills with the city's creative class shoulder to shoulder, all talking too fast and drinking too much. The pescado a talla, split down the middle with red and green rubs, is genuinely the reason to come. Book ahead, obviously, because nobody stumbles in here by accident.

  3. Rank 3. Galea

    Italian

    Galea is a cozy Italian spot in Roma Norte where the pasta is reason enough to go and the prices won't make you wince. The menu is short and focused, with daily specials worth asking about, and the kitchen will split pasta dishes into half portions so you can try more than one, which is the kind of policy that makes regulars out of people. Neighbourhood crowds fill the terrace like they own it, because they basically do. Michelin Bib Gourmand, if that seals it.

    French-influenced Mexican

    A Michelin-starred fine dining room in Roma Norte that somehow pulls off feeling effortlessly cool rather than stiff. The industrial bones, white brick, and soaring ceilings make it gorgeous without trying too hard. The menu runs French technique through Mexican ingredients in ways that actually make sense, and the crowd looks like they live nearby but dress like they really don't. Linger over the tasting menu, and don't skip dessert, even when it sounds weird.

    A Michelin-starred fine dining spot in Roma Norte named after the chef's daughter, which tells you something about how personal this place feels. Downstairs it's intimate enough for a first date that goes well, upstairs there's a moody cocktail bar to loosen you up first. The kitchen takes Mexican ingredients, leans hard into seafood, and finds combinations that sound reckless but land beautifully. Dress like you mean it.

  7. Rank 7. Fugaz

    Mexican

    A low-key cafe in Roma Norte that punches well above its weight, with a Bib Gourmand to prove it. The menu leans Mexican but with a quiet Mediterranean drift, heavy on vegetables and whatever looked good at the market that morning. The crowd is mostly locals who found it before anyone else and intend to keep it that way. The green facade is hard to miss, which is lucky because this one is worth finding.

  10. Rank 10. Maizajo

    Corn-Centric Mexican

    Maizajo is a serious sit-down restaurant in Condesa that treats corn like the main character it always deserved to be. Downstairs is a packed taqueria where nobody's sitting down; up here, metal rebar chairs and industrial tables set the mood for a menu that goes deeper than you'd expect. The kind of crowd that actually reads the menu, probably works in design, definitely ordered mezcal. Come hungry and curious.

It's young and loose in the best way, full of people who came for a quick bite and are still there two hours later. Order at the bar if you want to watch the kitchen do its thing.

The covered terrace is draped in plants and has the vibe of a dinner party where everyone got lucky with the invite.

  18. No sign, no menu, no reservations, and somehow a Michelin star. This cash-only sidewalk spot in Roma Norte runs four communal tables and just keeps sending food until you wave the white flag. Everything is built on heirloom corn ground in house, so even a simple tortilla hits differently. Show up early because the waitlist moves fast and nobody's waiting for you. Bring cash, bring patience, and prepare to eat more than you planned.

Creative locals and curious out-of-towners fill the seats, all there for plates that actually surprise you.

  78. Rank 78. Casona Roma Norte

    Contemporary New American

    Aquiles is the all-day dining room inside the Casona Roma Norte, and it actually earns a visit on its own terms rather than just feeding guests who couldn't be bothered to leave. Big windows, a floral mural, and trailing greenery make it feel more greenhouse than hotel lobby. The menu leans contemporary Mexican, keeping things unfussy, and the burger quietly holds its own against whatever the chef considers the main event.

  79. The guisado tacos at this no-frills Condesa taqueria have been pulling in regulars for decades, and the line of locals at the counter should tell you everything you need to know. Big ceramic pots keep the stewed fillings warm all day, you pick your tortillas and toppings, and you eat standing up or grab one of the tiny outdoor tables. Cheap, satisfying, and completely unpretentious in the best possible way.

  81. Rank 81. Vigneron

    Contemporary French

    Tiny room, big personality. Vigneron is a moody little bistro tucked into Roma Norte where the tables are few and the wine list is suspiciously long for such a small place. The contemporary French cooking rewards sharing, so order everything and argue about the last bite. It's the kind of spot where couples lean in close, partly because of the candlelight and partly because there's no room not to. Michelin gave it a Bib Gourmand, which tracks.

  83. Rank 83. Quintonil

    New-wave Mexican

    Quintonil is the kind of two-Michelin-star tasting menu that makes Polanco feel like the center of the universe. The chef takes deeply Mexican ingredients, insects included, and turns them into something that's playful without being a circus. The crowd leans stylish and curious, the kind of people who traveled specifically to eat here. The vibe is lively rather than reverent, which helps when a dessert involves caviar and plankton oil.

  84. Comal Oculto is a casual all-day Mexican spot where the comal does most of the heavy lifting, and pretty much everything that comes off it is worth eating. The warm terracotta room fills up with neighborhood regulars and weekend brunch crowds ready to wait for a table, because the gorditas and chilaquiles here are genuinely the move. It earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand, which tracks. Show up hungry and order aggressively.

  85. A taqueria that's been around forever and run by the same family for three generations, El Jarocho in Roma Sur is the kind of place regulars visit on autopilot. The move is the guisado tacos, proteins and vegetables slow-stewed until they're deeply flavored and piled onto fresh in-house tortillas. The campechano with chopped steak and crispy chicharron is hard to argue with. Locals, workers, the occasional tourist who did their homework.

  94. A Michelin-starred taco stand that fits maybe six people standing at a counter is either a fever dream or proof that Mexico City operates on a different level entirely. El Califa de León has been around forever, and the move is the Gaonera, thinly sliced beef seared to order with salt, lime, and a fresh tortilla. That's it. The crowd outside will confirm you're not the only one who got the memo.

  95. Rank 95. Meroma

    Contemporary

    Meroma is a sleek contemporary restaurant in Roma Norte where the menu cheerfully ignores borders, mixing Italian and Mediterranean ideas with serious Mexican ingredients. The room draws a well-dressed creative crowd who look like they already know the waiter. House-made pasta sits comfortably next to Veracruz seafood, and it all hangs together because the cooking is genuinely confident rather than just ambitious.

  96. Rank 96. Voraz

    Contemporary Mexican

    A gastropub in Roma Sur that used to be a mechanic's shop, and the team kept enough of the bones to make it interesting without being try-hard about it. The menu is creative contemporary Mexican, meant for sharing, and it earns its Michelin Bib Gourmand without taking itself too seriously. The crowd is relaxed, local-leaning, and definitely not reading from a menu for the first time.

  97. Rank 97. Campobaja

    Mexican Seafood

    Campobaja transplants the laid-back seafood culture of Baja California into a Roma Norte space that looks like someone converted a boat yard into a restaurant, which is basically what they did. It's an upscale-ish seafood spot where the menu is built for sharing, running from ceviches and aguachiles through to fish tacos and burritos. The crowd skews creative-industry cool, wearing exactly what they wore to the office.

  99. Rank 99. Pujol

    Mexican

    Enrique Olvera's two-Michelin-star tasting menu restaurant in Polanco is one of those places people fly to Mexico City specifically to eat at, and the room delivers. Servers in sharp black suits move through a buzzy, modern space filled with travelers who planned this reservation weeks out. The mole madre alone justifies the trip. The seasonal menu walks a confident line between deep Mexican tradition and genuine invention, without ever feeling like it's showing off.

  100. Rank 100. Raíz

    Contemporary Mexican

    Tucked into the ground floor of a Polanco apartment building, Raíz is the kind of contemporary Mexican spot that looks like nothing from the street and then quietly floors you. The corn-forward cooking hits every register, from bright street-food flavors to something more refined, and the staff makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. Go à la carte or let the tasting menu do the thinking for you.
