Mexico City | Who Knew Tuna Tacos Could Be This Mind-Blowing? 🌮✨
📍 Contramar ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The undisputed king of Mexico City seafood 🐟👑 🍽️ Must-Orders: Tuna Taco: Life-changing. Forget everything you know about tacos. Fig Tart: Sweet, savory, perfection. ⚠️ Tips: Located in Roma Norte – always packed. Reserve ahead or solo-dine at the bar like I did. Can’t get in? The owner has a secret sister restaurant in Polanco (ask the Xiaohongshu hive mind 🕵️♀️). 📍 Pujol ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The controversial $$$$ darling 💸 Pros: Avant-garde Mexican cuisine (3-hour tasting menu that moves from dining room → garden). Cons: Your wallet will cry. Verdict: Worth it if you’re ready for a culinary event. 📍 Balcón del Zócalo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Pics 5-8) Dinner with a side of history 🏛️🌇 Why go? Floor-to-ceiling views of Zócalo Plaza (sunset → city lights). Experience: Their tasting menu takes you on a literal journey—dining room → private chamber → kitchen counter. 📍 Lardo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brunch goals 🥐☀️ Pastries = elite. Let the staff guide you. Vibe: Cozy, leafy, perfect morning spot. 📍 Terraza Cha Cha Chá ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food’s fine, but the view... 🌆🍹 Overlooks the Revolution Monument – killer for golden hour. Young, trendy crowd with DJ sets and mezcal cocktails. 📍 Café Avellaneda ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (!!) The coffee that ruined all other coffee for me ☕😱 Located in Coyoacán – if you’re even vaguely nearby, GO. Plea: If you’re flying back to SF, please smuggle me beans. 🙏 Honorable Mentions (Tried & Tested by Friends) ▪️ Máximo (Raved about by fellow travelers) ▪️ Madre Café ▪️ Restaurante Rosetta ▪️ Salazar Reforma (Another skyline stunner) #MexicoCity #CDMX #FoodieTravel #TacoHeaven
