Rank 1. LINA
Contemporary Mexican
Chef Mariana Villegas Martínez works an open kitchen in this Roma Norte seafront, where contemporary Mexican cooking emerges from seasonal ingredients and careful technique rather than flourish. A charred squash with smoky pine nut sauce and chicken with roasted peaches and mole coloradito show the thoughtfulness beneath the straightforward plating. Warmth runs through both the room and the plate.

Rank 2. Em
Contemporary Mexican
An intimate ground-floor room where Chef Lucho Martinez treats Mexican seafood and produce with contemporary refinement: young corn grilled and dressed in coffee-browned butter and yuzu, a tostada layered with Veracruz fish stew and caviar, a mamey dessert composed as Swiss roll and frozen tartlet. Bold flavors arrive with precision, the kind of cooking that rewards a quiet evening for two.

French-influenced Mexican
Chef Eduardo Garcia's French-inflected Mexican cooking unfolds in a soaring Roma Norte space of white brick and tile, where a tasting menu pivots between caviar-topped beet tartare and abalone tostada with restraint and creativity.

Rank 8. Pargot
Mexican
In a spare Roma Norte dining room, Chef Alexis Ayala works from a tightly edited menu that moves from delicate to substantial with the precision of a controlled argument. Baja fish arrives as kebbe crudo under grasshopper XO sauce; leeks transform into pâté on tostadas dusted with chili ash. The cooking is rooted in Mexico but restless, always reaching for the next small revelation.
-
Chef Ana Somsri Raksamran's courtyard restaurant, sheltered by bamboo and hanging vines, delivers regionally varied Thai cooking with herbs harvested to order. The gaeng kiew wan arrives bright and herbaceous; the mango sticky rice with coconut ice cream justifies the pilgrimage alone.

Rank 10. Expendio de Maíz
Mexican
A cramped sidewalk kitchen in Roma Norte where heirloom corn, nixtamalized in-house, becomes tortillas and sopes molded to order and dressed with seasonal ingredients and tableside salsas that crackle with heat. Four communal tables, no menu, cash only, and a waitlist that forms immediately—a place where the cook decides what you eat, and you're better for it.
-
Rank 11. Tacos Los Alexis
Mexican
The covered sidewalk tables at Alexis Ayala's Roma Norte taqueria offer a front-row seat to carefully considered preparations: volcanoes and costras alongside tacos built on excellent yellow masa, their fillings—huitlacoche, crisped cheese—arranged with quiet intelligence. It is, in short, a taqueria that takes itself seriously without announcing the fact.

Rank 16. Contramar
Seafood
A busy Roma street hosts this seafood-focused restaurant where chef Gabriela Cámara has maintained momentum since 1998. Raw scallop tostadas in salsa macha and pulpo a la Gallega—octopus with potato, olive oil, paprika—set the table before pescado a talla, its dual-sided spice rubs marking the kitchen's signature approach. The dessert trolley rounds out a meal that demands reservations.

Seafood
A stainless-steel corner counter in Roma Norte where Chef Lucho Martinez's seafood menu spans raw preparations and pastas, anchored by a blue corn tostada with shrimp and a clam chowder that demands every spoonful.

Rank 24. Tacos Del Valle
Mexican
A retro diner setup of bar stools and mirrors frames this Roma Norte taqueria's straightforward mission: meat cooked on the trompo, spun near open flame until charred outside and tender within, then plated on corn tortillas for you to dress with three salsas in squeeze bottles. Other tacos arrive more elaborately garnished, but the stripped-down versions reveal the craft.

Rank 30. Taqueria Los Parados
Mexican
A standing-room operation in Roma Sur that's been grilling meat over charcoal since 1965, with nothing but metal shelving for a counter and no concession to comfort. The bistec arrives medium-well with a whisper of smoke, the costilla paper-thin and cooked through, and the al pastor tacos arrive in that perfect state where technique becomes invisible.
-
Rank 31. Baldío
Mexican
Chef Max MacLean's zero-waste kitchen in Condesa sources from chinampas farms and local fisheries, purifies its own water, and prints on recycled corn husks—but the cooking is what commands attention. Fluke crudo arrives shingled with jicama and star fruit in leche de tigre; heirloom tomatoes meet sikil pak, a Yucatán sauce of toasted pepitas and charred chiles.

Rank 33. La 89
Mexican
A narrow taquería on a Roma Norte side street where carne asada hits the grill to order, emerging with a dark crust and restrained seasoning. Quesabirria arrives crisp-edged and tender, the consommé optional but welcome; tortas are built with equal care on bread that tastes like it matters. Plastic stools and a no-frills room mean you're here for the work, not the comfort.
-
Rank 34. Sarde
Contemporary
In a Roma Norte townhouse, Sarde pursues the sea with methodical care: kampachi and mackerel cut in the Japanese style, fish and chips remade with contemporary restraint.

Mexican
A former tortillería in Roma Norte where three generations have perfected the guisado taco—slow-cooked proteins and vegetables in mole-dark sauces, the pork flank with morita chile particularly worth the visit. Fresh tortillas arrive at the table still warm, the room spare and purposeful, service unhurried.

Contemporary Mexican
A corner gastropub in Roma Sur housed in a converted mechanic's shop serves inventive Mexican small plates with industrial-casual style. Chaya-leaf churros and wood-fired chicken with bitter orange showcase refinement without pretension.

Southeast Asian Mexican
At a counter in Roma Norte, a taqueria that marries Cantonese technique with the taco format: confit pork belly with hoisin and sriracha in flour tortillas, crispy siu yuk with nam jim and pickled vegetables. Everything is fired to order in a kitchen you can watch, then eaten standing or outside on corn husks instead of plates—a small gesture that captures the place's refusal of expectation.

Italian
A corner room lined in warm wood, softened by terra-cotta light and the murmur of neighborhood regulars.

The panna cotta arrives with a subtle Mexican touch, a small gesture that defines the place: rooted in tradition, alert to where it is.
-
Rank 58. Lorea
Mexican
A quiet, multilevel room of pale wood and clean lines in Roma Norte where Chef Oswaldo Oliva channels his Spanish past through a single seasonal tasting menu that borrows from Mexico but roams further afield—fried chilies stuffed with eggplant and blue cheese, baby corn in cream with caviar. The counter seat, overlooking an immaculate kitchen, is where the evening reveals itself most clearly.

The sleek dining room matches the ambition on the plate.
-
Rank 62. Campobaja
Seafood
Warehouse-high ceilings and timber salvaged from fishing boats set the stage at this Roma Norte seafood restaurant, where Chef Alejandro Zarate channels the straightforward cooking of Ensenada's fish camps.

Hipódromo's creative energy is felt here as much as tasted.

Rank 84. Castacán
Mexican
In a Roma Norte dining room where the kitchen speaks one language, the staff another, pork dominates with purpose. Cochinita pibil and lechon tacos—one slow-marinated and shredded, the other studded with crackling skin—arrive on proper tortillas with a arsenal of salsas ranging from habanero heat to sesame-tinged restraint. This is cooking that knows what it wants.

Contemporary Mexican
The modest street entrance opens onto an inland garden: tall cacti frame a fish-stocked pond, and the kitchen moves between ceviches—serrano and pistachio with shrimp—and pasta studded with blue crab and anchovy breadcrumb. Dessert takes strange turns, as when Kalamata olives crash the crème brûlée. A place where strangers feel like insiders.

Innovative Mexican
A Condesa café that transforms at night: bare concrete and brick give way to Chef Victor Toriz's inventive cooking, where crispy tripe meets Ocosingo cheese and roasted beet, sweetbreads nestle into chileatole cream.
