Carnitas El Compadre

When it comes to authentic Mexican food, Carnitas El Compadre is a classic that you must visit at least once in your life.

Although carnitas tacos are their specialty, this famous restaurant located in Tlalnepantla offers pozole, tacos, antojitos, broths, aguas frescas, and much more. Besides the carnitas tacos, the melted cheese is another must-try, you have to taste it!

Derba Matcha Café

One of my passions is searching for aesthetic cafes, and this one holds a special place in the top ten of my heart. Derba Matcha Café is a new spot in Mexico City that, as its name suggests, specializes in matcha, but in addition to this delicious drink, you’ll find all kinds of coffee, delicious food, and sweet bread… Exquisite!

The café is located within the Andaz Mexico City Condesa hotel, and the approximate cost per person is $200 to $300 considering drinks and food. I recommend trying the Matcha Latte and a Chocolate and Hazelnut Flat Croissant, which is perfect for an Instagram photo and tastes very good.

Aguachilon

Are you hungover and don’t know where to go? We have the answer to your problems.

Aguachilon is a Sinaloan food place full of flavor and excellent service. With a very friendly atmosphere, you can’t miss the shrimp ceviche with mango and the aguachiles; they will save your day.

Camino a Comala

Mexico City has an incredible culinary offer that allows us to enjoy endless flavors, dishes, and drinks seven days a week. But there are also many places with good marketing strategies and not-so-good food. This is not the case for Camino a Comala.

My Sunday ritual consists of a walk in the Morisco kiosk, followed by a mandatory visit to this small café in Santa María la Ribera. Enjoy the best mocha in the city, although their hot chocolate is also excellent. If you prefer cold drinks, ask for the Vietnamese coffee.

In addition to having a relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere, this café also offers a well-thought-out food menu: toasts, pizzas, baguettes, chilaquiles, and sweet bread. Try the guava roll; it tastes better than the famous bakery in Roma.
