We've compiled the best of the best in Juárez and Anzures with La Zona Rosa - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.

Tamales Madre

$$ | Juárez Fodor's Choice

If its building's divine design doesn’t call to you immediately from the street, you will be enchanted as you take a step down, literally, into the sunken communal dining area, which also doubles as the kitchen where outstanding tamales are prepared before your eyes. The service is personalized, and the high ceilings make way for shelves to show off a number of beautiful artifacts from around Mexico as well as books about Mexico’s almighty corn.

Bellinghausen

$$$ | La Zona Rosa

This cherished Zona Rosa spot (open daily from 1 pm to 7 pm) has been in service for more than 100 years and its partially covered hacienda-style courtyard at the back, set off by an ivy-laden wall and fountain, is still a midday magnet for executives and tourists alike. A veritable army of waiters scurries back and forth serving tried-and-true Mexican favorites. Two slightly more luxe branches don't have the same historic charm, but the closest, Casa Bell (Praga 14, Zona Rosa), a courtyard restaurant ringed by dozens of caged chirping birds, is a must on a sunny afternoon.

Taquería El Califa

$$ | Juárez

When you're craving a light bite or even a substantial meal late at night, this big and lively eatery hits the spot with its vast menu that goes well beyond tacos, including costras (addictive "tacos" with crispy shells made of grilled cheese), chicken pastor, and Hidalgo-style arrachera barbacoa. Open nightly until 4 am and with several other CDMX locations, Califa has table service, a clean and light dining room, and menus with detailed food descriptions, making it one of the city's more appealing---if slightly pricier---taqueria experiences.
