Tlacoyotitlán — Restaurant in Mexico City

Tlacoyotitlán is so great — my favorite part is that they grow, soak/mix, and make all of their ORGANIC CORN based food from scratch. From blue corn quesadillas to delicious chilaquiles (highly recommend the verdes w cochinita and a fried egg on top), to sopa azteca (tortilla soup) and their succulent pan de ELOTE(corn bread muffin with a side of Ron pope/eggnog) !! So damn good.

Lots of great fresh juices with ingredients you don’t see elsewhere, and pre-Hispanic detectables such as escamoles (ant eggs) and chapulines (crickets).

Indoor and outdoor seating, pay with cash or card, good café de olla, and totally reasonable prices.

What more can you ask for?

I would definitely recommend this place for all people who love to experience authentic Mexican corn dishes, and to share that with more and more people to have amazing gourmet...

Surpisingly basic. I really wanted the food to be better than it was. I ordered a Clayuda (because the tlayudas didnt come with a protein) and a mineral water. After the standard 15% tip it was about $400 mxn, which should be illegal for a any version of a tlayuda. It was large, but unfortunately, it was very bland (hand for size). This is also a place where EVERYONE will come up to your table trying to sell you something or ask for money if you are seated outside. On this occasion, a person on drugs sat down at my table, tried to take my food, and began screaming. I took my sad, but expensive version of tlayuda home and rank this tlayuda at the bottom of my list for the best tlayudas in...
