Bagels Lepu

$$ | Juárez Fodor's Choice

Bagels are not common in Mexico, but luckily Bagels Lepu single-handedly satisfies many a craving in the city. While it might just be the most expensive sandwich you'll find here, these homemade bagels are delicious, and the desserts and coffee are both delightful.

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.

Café NIN

$$ | Juárez

This exquisitely designed eatery feels like entering a mansion. A bit like a labyrinth, the service is quick and the menu extensive with breakfast through dinner options specializing in fresh ingredients. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options will appease travelers who have eaten one too many orders of chilaquiles.

Cicatriz

$$$ | Juárez

Depending on when you visit, this hip hangout can serve as a cheerful breakfast nook for chia pudding and egg sandwiches, an afternoon coffee or teahouse with light salads and a delicious smoked-eggplant-harissa dip, or an evening lounge with craft cocktails and well-curated (though pricey) wines. Whatever the time of day, there's almost always a crowd that tends toward the fashionable, artsy side. The vibe is a bit self-important, but it's a reliably nice space with good food and drink options.

Joe Gelato

$ | Juárez
This gelato shop features flavors that are inventive, inspired by the Mexican palate. Friendly service from the owner himself gives it a homey vibe, where you can sit and enjoy your dessert or order coffee and tea. The real deal here is the quality of the refreshing and unique flavor blends; you can mix up to three flavors in a single scoop.

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.

55-5511–9424
Known For
  • Several dishes with fried cheese
  • Clean and attractive dining room
