The Top 100 Restaurants Near Chiquitito Café
-
Rank 1. Esquina Común
Mexican
A Michelin-starred rooftop tasting spot in Condesa that you book by sliding into its Instagram DMs, which somehow feels exactly right. The covered terrace is draped in plants and has the vibe of a dinner party where everyone got lucky with the invite. The chef and her young crew cook modern Mexican with real technique, serving dishes portioned to share. Getting a reservation is the hard part; everything after that is pretty great.

Rank 2. 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.

Rank 3. Jowong
Korean
A Korean restaurant in Condesa that manages to feel both effortless and carefully considered, which is harder than it sounds. The room is sleek, the banchan arrives sharp, and the prime-rib barbecue turns the whole table into a glorious mess of small plates. It's earned a Bib Gourmand, and the crowd looks like they knew about it before you did. Dress casually but make it look like you didn't try.

Rank 4. Gaba
Innovative Mexican
By day it's a low-key Condesa café, but after dark Gaba becomes one of the more exciting places to eat in the neighborhood. The kitchen earns its Michelin Bib Gourmand by doing bold, inventive Mexican cooking without making you feel like you're in a lecture about it. Offal fans should absolutely show up, and the cocktails are strong enough to make whoever you brought along forget they ordered the same thing twice.

Rank 8. MeroToro
Baja Mexican
Baja California cooking done right, in a fine dining room on one of Condesa's prettiest tree-lined streets. The menu moves easily between seafood and meat, and nothing on it feels fussy, which is a real trick at this price point. The terrace draws the sunglasses-and-linen crowd, while inside it's date night and slow lunches. Michelin noticed, and for once the hype is quiet enough to trust.

Rank 9. Em
Contemporary Mexican
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.

Rank 12. Baldío
Mexican
Baldío is a zero-waste restaurant in Condesa that takes its philosophy seriously, right down to purifying its own water and printing menus on recycled corn husk paper. The cooking is sharp and genuinely creative, drawing from local farms and freshwater fish, with à la carte or tasting menu options. The crowd leans creative-class and eco-conscious, the kind who actually read the sourcing notes. Good food with a clean conscience is a rare combo.

Mexican
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.

Creative Mexican
Elena Reygadas is one of those chefs even casual diners have heard of, and her Michelin-starred Roma Norte restaurant earns the reputation. The room fills with the kind of crowd that actually knows what they're eating, creative Mexican dishes built for sharing and laced with unexpected global touches. It feels celebratory without being stiff, the food genuinely surprising in a way that makes you want to order one more thing.

Rank 20. Expendio de Maíz
Mexican
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.

Rank 25. 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.
-
A Bib Gourmand Thai restaurant tucked into a bamboo-lined courtyard in Roma Norte, which already sounds like something you'd make up to impress people. The team grows their own herbs and harvests them to order, so everything tastes genuinely alive. The menu pulls from several regions of Thailand, and the crowd tends to be the kind of people who actually know the difference. Casual enough for jeans, serious enough to make you feel like you found something real.

Rank 27. Caracol de Mar
Mexican
A Bib Gourmand seafood spot in Hipódromo where the room earns its keep, floor-to-ceiling windows, a vaulted ceiling, and a spiral staircase you'll want to photograph before anyone catches you doing it. The kitchen does contemporary Mexican seafood built for sharing, which means your table will have way too much food on it and nobody will complain. Creative locals and curious out-of-towners fill the seats, all there for plates that actually surprise you.

Rank 31. Castacán
Mexican
Castacán is a Roma Norte taqueria with a clear sense of purpose: it exists to serve pork, and it does that extremely well. The cochinita pibil and the lechon tacos are both worth the trip, so don't make yourself choose. The crowd is mostly locals who came hungry and know exactly what they're ordering. Get a spread of salsas to go with it, and let the kitchen do the rest.

Rank 33. LINA
Contemporary Mexican
A cozy seafood and contemporary Mexican spot in Roma Norte where the cooking feels genuinely personal rather than performative. The open kitchen keeps things honest, and the menu leans on seasonal ingredients with enough confidence that nothing needs to be over-explained. The crowd is mostly locals and a few in-the-know visitors who've figured out that the places without a line out front are usually the better call.

Rank 35. Máximo
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.

Rank 36. Filigrana
Mexican
Part greenhouse, part dining room, Filigrana is where Roma Norte locals who care about looking good go to eat food that actually tastes good too. Fully grown trees grow through the floor, purple cushions pop against concrete walls, and the Mexican cooking matches the room: familiar dishes reimagined with real flair. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the pozole brujo alone makes a strong case for why.

Rank 39. Tacos Hola El Güero
Mexican
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.
-
Rank 40. 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.

Rank 42. Lorea
Mexican
A sleek fine dining spot in Roma Norte where the single tasting menu wanders confidently between Mexican roots and global detours, all pulled off with real precision. The wood-heavy space feels grown-up without being stuffy, and the chef's counter is the obvious move if you can get it. Expect the crowd that knows the neighborhood well enough to have an opinion about it, dressed just sharp enough to match the room.
-
Rank 43. Botánico
Contemporary Mexican
The plain exterior is doing this place absolutely no favors, but step inside and you're suddenly in a courtyard with towering cacti and a koi pond, which is exactly the kind of surprise that makes for a good story. It's a laid-back contemporary Mexican restaurant in Hipódromo that works equally well for date night or a big group, nobody feels out of place. The food is creative without being precious about it.

Rank 47. Molino "El Pujol"
Mexican
A tiny Condesa counter spot with a Bib Gourmand to its name, El Pujol earns it by nixtamalizing corn in-house every single day, which you can taste in everything on the short menu: tamales, tacos, chilaquiles, enfrijoladas. Six seats at a wood counter and a few outside, so most of the square footage goes to the kitchen, which is exactly right. Grab warm tortillas to take home if they have them, and you'll feel quietly smug the rest of the day.

Rank 52. 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.

Rank 53. El Tigre Silencioso
Creative Mexican Cocktail Bar
Roma Norte runs on mezcal and good vibes, and El Tigre Silencioso fits right in. It's a cantina with serious ambition, set inside a leafy old building with ivy-wrapped columns, a stone courtyard, and enough terrace seating that you'll want to linger. The kitchen takes Mexican classics somewhere unexpected, in a way that earns its creativity. The crowd is the kind that moved here from somewhere cooler and somehow made it work.

Rank 55. Aleli Rooftop
Mexican
A rooftop spot in Roma Norte where the smell of charcoal hits you before you even sit down, and the Michelin Bib Gourmand on its resume means the prices won't make you flinch. The menu is short and confident, built around the grill, and grabbing a bar seat to watch the cook work the fire is half the fun. The crowd skews young and local, sunglasses on, genuinely happy about the bill.

-
Rank 57. Martínez
Contemporary
A laid-back bistro in Roma Norte that pulls off something genuinely hard: unpretentious food that actually makes you want to stay for another glass of wine. The menu wanders happily between Mexican, French, and Japanese without an identity crisis. 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.

Rank 58. El Jarocho
Mexican
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.

Rank 61. 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.

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.

Rank 71. 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.
-

Global
-
-
Rank 74. Sartoria
Italian
A Michelin-selected Italian osteria in Roma Norte that draws the kind of crowd where everyone looks like they made a reservation weeks ago and still managed to look effortlessly cool doing it. The kitchen keeps the menu focused, which means everything landing on your table is actually good. Grab a spot on the terrace if you can, order the pasta, and finish with the tiramisu because that's not even a debate.
-
-
Rank 76. 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.
-
Rank 77. La 89
Mexican
Plastic stools, metal tables, fluorescent light, and some of the most carefully grilled tacos in Roma Norte. La 89 is a no-frills taqueria that earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand by doing the basics with real conviction: carne asada with a proper sear, birria that works with or without the consommé, and tortas built on bread that actually deserves the fillings. The crowd is locals who know, plus the occasional visitor who did their homework.
-
Rank 78. Migrante
International
Fine dining in Roma Norte with an open kitchen, a young crew that actually seems happy to see you, and a menu that pulls from everywhere without trying to explain itself. The crowd skews creative, well-dressed but not stiff, the kind of people who know their wine but won't lecture you about it. The food is precise and a little playful, which is the right combination.

Rank 80. 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.
-
-
Rank 82. Bella Aurora
Contemporary Italian
The team behind Rosetta runs this all-day Italian spot in Roma Norte, and the good taste carries over. The pink facade and plant-filled dining room draw a crowd of stylish locals who look like they live nearby and probably do. Come morning, the bakery stuff is the real reason to show up early. Pasta holds it down at lunch and dinner, and dessert is not optional. Cute and genuinely good without trying too hard about either.
-
Rank 83. Alfil Restaurante
Mexican
-
-
-
Rank 86. BAJEL
Contemporary Mexican
Bajel is a contemporary Mexican tasting menu inside the Sofitel on Reforma, which means the French front-of-house staff might greet you in French before the kitchen reminds everyone exactly where they are. The open kitchen is the centerpiece, and the food is serious, rooted in Mexican tradition but plated like it has something to prove. The white mole alone, with its 25 ingredients and accompanying card, is the kind of flex that actually earns it.

The crowd skews curious and cosmopolitan, people who read the menu twice and still get surprised by what shows up. Portions are real, the vibe is warm, and nothing tastes like anything else you'll have in the city.
