  1. Gaba

    Innovative Mexican

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    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.

    • Crispy tripe

      “Offal is a particular highlight, as in crispy tripe paired with Ocosingo cheese and roasted beet, or perfectly seared sweetbreads with a creamy chileatole sauce.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Berkshire pork chop

      “The menu's firmly grounded in Mexico, albeit in understated ways: the dry-aged wagyu tartare might be served with nutty Chicatana ants, while the Berkshire pork chop with roasted pineapple seems inspired by tacos al pastor.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
