Cobarde CDMX — Restaurant in Mexico City

Fusion restaurant with an industrial-minimalist decor. The first floor has a bar area, and the second floor is the dining area.

An absolute gem. Everything we tried was delicious: the tartar with shiso and curry was full of flavor, the aguachile super fresh, and the hanger steak and pork belly were incredible. But the unexpected favorite? The naan with jaiba, so good!

Cocktails were perfectly balanced; definitely try the house mezcal. The open kitchen adds great energy to the space. Go with friends, share everything, and grab a drink at the bar before or after. A...
