Departamento is like that friend's apartment everyone ends up at to keep the party going (yes, there's a full-on bathtub!). But there’s a cocktail bar in the “living room” and a stage full of vinyl records where DJs and live bands perform a mix of genres, from hardcore rock to electronic. In the back, there is an open patio where inevitably attractive people smoke and chat away from the noise. Depending on the night, you might encounter improvised music sessions featuring musicians like Alejandro Veneno, Monopolar, Miguelito Cruz's quartet, or Blue Hawaii—the only place in the city they perform.

Mexico

Mexico’s capital is a swirling kaleidoscope of Art Deco architecture, murals by Mexican masters and leafy plazas lined with spindly tropical palms.

The shock of cobalt-blue known as La Casa Azul (Blue House), the home Frida Kahlo shared with her husband, the muralist Diego Rivera, is electric enough to feel like a dopamine hit to the brain. 

Casa Barragán, the “modernist pink” residence Luis Barragán designed for himself in Colonia Ampliación Daniel Garza, is so potent that the architect Louis Kahn once called it “not merely a house but House itself.” (Barragán, it is said, had his maid prepare entirely pink meals.)

Energy and color is everywhere. Inside bustling markets, juice stands emit pops of tropical green. Hand-painted signage adorning outdoor food stalls are emblazoned with “super tortas” and “más delicioso” burst with comic-book-like enthusiasm. Parades of peacocking boats drift along the Xochimilco canals. Rows of museum-worthy piñatas animate gray sidewalks.

Colonia by colonia, from mariachi plazas and mezcalerías to avant-garde ateliers and historic hotels. the city hums with a euphoric, cosmopolitan pulse.

Walking around Mexico City is a dazzling smorgasbord for the eyes. Tropical green strikes you from a juice stand as you turn a corner in the Coyocán neighborhood. Above you, flamingo pink and golden yellow paper banners sway in the wind. Red ochre bounces off  abstract murals. Cobalt blue building seems to cast its own light on the street under the hot sun. The city’s uninhibited visual flair—a vernacular that animates urban facades, markets and even the flashy boats in the Xochimilco canals—no doubt has ancestral roots. It’s easy to imagine the kaleidoscopic charm of its predecessor, the great Aztec city of Tenochtitlán, where pyramids were not the drab grey they are now but painted in a fiery hematite red, and iridescent green quetzal feathers flashed on the heads of those who strolled through the massive marketplace. This essential language turns up later in the spirited vibrancy of folk art and in the refined palette of Mexican Modernism, influenced by remarkable twentieth-century artists like Mathias Goeritz, Chucho Reyes and Frida Kahlo.

In 1998, Gabriela Cámara opened Contramar as a modern seafood destination in the then-emerging Roma neighborhood. Today, it's the city’s standard for impeccably fresh and unapologetically simple seafood. Their raw tuna tostadas with chipotle mayonnaise and topped with frizzled leeks and avocado have been imitated not just throughout Mexico City, but around the world. While many have tried to replicate Contramar, none have duplicated the combination of smartly-dressed waiters who anticipate your every need and impeccably-fresh fish sourced from Mexican waters. And then there is the devoted crowd of creatives, media insiders and young politicians enjoying late lunches that stretch into the early evening. A meeting spot for all these different intersections of Mexico City life means there is usually a line. But this will give you the opportunity to explore [Expendio Durango](https://expendiodurango.com/), a shop right next door selling an impeccable curation of regional products. If you prefer to eat with locals rather than tourists, book a table for after 2pm. (Pro tip: If ordering the much-Instagrammed whole butterflied fish, ask for the smallest they have — so you can try more of the other dishes, like the fresh-fig tart, sticky flan de coco or pureed zapote negro, a fruit with a flavor that is a cross between persimmon and prune. 

The city’s dining scene is evolving.[ Mi Compa Chava](https://www.instagram.com/micompachava), a Sinaloan seafood destination in the Polanco neighborhood, is quickly becoming a challenger to Contramar’s throne. 


In 1998, Gabriela Cámara introduced Contramar as a modern seafood haven in the emerging Roma neighborhood. Today, it stands as Mexico City’s benchmark for exquisitely fresh and delightfully uncomplicated seafood. The raw tuna tostadas, adorned with chipotle mayo, frizzled leeks, and avocado, have inspired imitations not only in Mexico City but worldwide. While many have tried to emulate Contramar, none have replicated the combination of attentive, well-dressed waitstaff, sourcing impeccably fresh fish from Mexican waters, and a dedicated crowd of creatives, media insiders, and young politicians who savor late, lingering lunches. The popular spot often boasts a line, offering you the chance to explore Expendio Durango, a neighboring shop offering a thoughtfully curated selection of regional products. To dine alongside locals rather than tourists, secure a table after 2 pm. (Pro tip: When ordering the much-Instagrammed whole butterflied fish, request the smallest available to savor more dishes, such as the fresh-fig tart, sticky flan de coco, or pureed zapote negro, a fruit with flavors akin to a blend of persimmon and prune.)

 Indulge in a sobremesa at this second-generation Clavería spot serving regional dishes (nearly) lost to time. When Gerardo Vásquez Lugo took over his parents’ longstanding neighborhood lunch spot in the late ‘90s, he started a quiet revolution. Taking cues from the Italian Slow Food Movement, he sought to rediscover regional dishes, such as rabbit braised in pasilla chile and agave sap and octopus stewed in its ink. The mix of classic recipes and the best possible ingredients (sourced from within a small radius of the restaurant) made Gerardo Vasquez a Mexican culinary pioneer at home and on the world stage. Nico’s location in Clavería might seem out of the way, but it's only a 15-minute car ride from Polanco. Make a day of it and spend an afternoon joining locals enjoying a long sobremesa, the tradition of lingering socially after a meal (usually with wine or small-batch mezcal). Tip: Get to Nico as early as possible, as they tend to run out of dishes like sopa seca de nata, a lasagna-like signature made of paper-thin crepes layered with cream and tomato sauce, fast. 


Embark on a culinary journey at Nico, a second-generation establishment in Clavería dedicated to preserving nearly-forgotten regional dishes. Gerardo Vásquez Lugo, who assumed ownership of this cherished neighborhood eatery from his parents in the late '90s, initiated a quiet culinary revolution. Inspired by the Italian Slow Food Movement, he embarked on a quest to revive regional delicacies, including succulent rabbit braised in pasilla chile and agave sap, as well as tender octopus stewed in its ink. By blending timeless recipes with the finest locally-sourced ingredients, sourced from the restaurant's immediate vicinity, Gerardo Vasquez became a trailblazer in Mexican cuisine, both locally and globally. While Nico's location in Clavería may seem off the beaten path, it's merely a 15-minute car ride from Polanco. Consider making it a day excursion and join locals in savoring a leisurely sobremesa, the cherished tradition of lingering and socializing after a meal, often accompanied by wine or artisanal mezcal. Pro tip: Arrive at Nico as early as possible, as popular dishes like sopa seca de nata, a lasagna-like masterpiece crafted from delicate crepes layered with cream and tomato sauce, tend to sell out quickly.

If, for some reason, you can only visit one restaurant in Mexico City, make it Expendio de Maíz Sin Nombre. At this colorful storefront ("expendio de máiz" means, roughly, "corn shop"), only a few tables on the sidewalk are out front. But here you will find much of Mexico’s food culture in one place. Impeccable local and heirloom ingredients. History. Discovery. Style. Soul. One thing you won't find? A menu. Still, preferences can be accommodated, including vegetarian and vegan diets. Many of the ingredients are native, found both in local markets and from family farmers. Co-owner Jesús Salas Tornés is from a rural part of Guerrero state, where many of the dishes' inspirations originate, while chef Ana González is a CDMX native. Moles of shrimp, plantain and giant ayocote beans bear little resemblance to the classic dish as you may come to think of it. A quesadilla of hoja santa, huitlacoche and flor de calabaza brings together three favorite fillings in one. Expendio de Maíz provides masa to many restaurants in the city, going through tens of thousands of pounds of corn each month. This supports farmers growing low-yielding heirloom varieties in a sea of multinational farms growing cheap GMO corn. If you're in the mood for more of a standard taqueria, head down the block to [El Parnita](https://www.elparnita.com/) or have a stiff drink at [Páramo](https://www.facebook.com/ParamoRoma/).

This grand, sprawling estate was first built as a residence in 1616 before becoming a regional center for the production of pulque, a fermented agave sap, which once had the ubiquity that cerveza does today. In 1963, the property was converted into an opulent restaurant honoring the site’s lavish history, serving as a favorite spot for affluent families celebrating graduations, birthdays and other landmark occasions. Like a scene from a Mexican remake of The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg, the central courtyard has flamboyant flower gardens framed by manicured hedges, complete with an old stone fountain, tables crowned with white umbrellas and slick-haired waiters who do efficient choreography to classic boleros. The menu has some dated fine-dining standbys, like lobster Thermidor, but stick to the Mexican dishes—duck and ribeye tacos, crepes filled with the corn fungus huitlacoche, and shrimp and scallop ceviche. On Saturdays, have a quicker lunch on the patio before exploring [Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo](https://inba.gob.mx/recinto/51) and shopping at the [El Bazar Sábado](https://www.google.com/maps/place/El+Bazar+S%C3%A1bado/@19.3449312,-99.19265,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xa6607f7f2dd5f91a?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjX6bTNksmCAxUpsFYBHdq4AaAQ_BJ6BAhbEAA), just a 10 minute walk away.


Step into history at Casa de los Azulejos, a grand estate with a rich heritage dating back to 1616. Originally a residence, it later became a hub for pulque production, akin to the prominence of beer today. In 1963, this magnificent property transformed into an opulent restaurant, cherished by affluent families for celebrating graduations, birthdays, and other special occasions. Picture a scene from a Mexican adaptation of 'The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg' with a central courtyard adorned by flamboyant flower gardens, meticulously trimmed hedges, a vintage stone fountain, tables sheltered by white umbrellas, and impeccably coordinated waitstaff dancing to classic boleros. While the menu offers traditional fine-dining options like lobster Thermidor, the real treasures lie in Mexican dishes—indulge in duck and ribeye tacos, huitlacoche-filled crepes, and shrimp and scallop ceviche. On Saturdays, savor a leisurely patio lunch before exploring the nearby Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo and perusing the El Bazar Sábado, just a delightful 10-minute stroll away.

Located in the quaint San Miguel de Chapultepec neighborhood, Comal Oculto is an unassuming eatery consisting of  just one communal table set up on the street. High-quality heirloom corn is the heart of the dining here, but an intentional menu features traditional antojitos, or snacks, such as sopes, gorditas and tlacoyos. While you can’t miss the crunchy, cheese-filled flautas (choose the ahogadas version if you want them drowning in housemade salsa verde), locals also opt for the chamorro (lamb shank) tacos, which pairs well with an agua fresca del día or rich café de olla. Before you leave, pick up a dozen of handmade corn tortillas to go.

Don’t try to find this place on google maps, it won’t come up. The owner likes to keep it that way. Though, the long line out the door tends to give this Thai-inspired restaurant and listening bar away. Opened by Tyler Henry, Choza pays equal importance to highly-spicy dishes–all meant to be shared and eaten mostly with hands–as it does to its impeccable hand-selected vinyls blasting from its custom hi-fi system. The aromas are captivating, with woks bubbling with spicy curries and open-fire grills cooking wagyu or whole fish. Mango daiquiris, local natural wine, ice-cold cervezas and craft mezcals pair seamlessly with the vibrant and bold flavors found on the plate — and the speakers.

 Bar El Sella has served classic Mexican and Spanish dishes in a fluorescently-lit, cafeteria-style room since 1950, though, surprisingly, tourists have yet to discover this gem. Try Spanish-style chorizo braised in hard cider, octopus a la gallega bathed in smoked paprika and olive oil, and their famous chamorro, a whole pork shank falling off the bone, para taquear (to make tacos). Pair this all with a Cuba Libre or a digestivo like pacharán.

This spot has all the trappings of a traditional cantina—dapper waiters carrying trays of Cuba libres and micheladas, and usually a football game on the multiple TVs—but it's also one of the best Yucatecan restaurants in the city. The food of the Yucatán peninsula is one of the most unique and beloved of regional cuisines, combining African, Caribbean and Middle Eastern influences and such signature ingredients as habanero chile, *achiote* (annatto seed), sour orange, spices like allspice and large-leafed Yucatecan oregano, and complex seasoning pastes called *recados*. Order *panuchos*, bean-filled tortillas topped with *cochinita* *pibil* (achiote-braised pork), shredded shark or pickled turkey, as well as *dzik de venado* (a shredded venison salad) and *lechón al horno troceado* (chopped roast pork which sounds simple, but might be the best taco you have all trip). The local crowd ranges from friends grabbing a few drinks and multigenerational families celebrating, to power-lunching businessmen (they're not going back to work).

 Nevería Roxy, a bare-bones, cash-only ice cream shop, opened on this residential corner in Condesa when the colonia was just a quiet, if artistic, middle-class neighborhood. The parlor now has nine locations in the city, but this is the first. Unlike the rest of the neighborhood, little has changed here since its opening in 1946. It’s still operated by the original family and it still scoops flavors made from products purchased at the city's wholesale market. Try silky nieves (sorbets) of local fruits like mamey, chicozapote, and guanábana, or helados (ice creams) made of pistachio, bitter chocolate, rompope (a kind of egg nog), or cajeta (milk caramel).
