Restaurante El Cardenal
Mexican
Roaming musicians and big families dressed up for celebrations set the tone at this grand, old-school Mexican restaurant in the Centro Histórico. The kitchen runs its own ranch, so anything dairy-forward carries its weight, and the seasonal menu leans into ingredients like huitlacoche that most restaurants never bother with. Formal without being stiff, the kind of place where lunch can quietly become the whole afternoon.
