The short answer
Mexico City is one of the great eating cities in the world, from two-Michelin-star dining rooms to a corn counter with no menu at all, and I can’t wait for you to taste it. Here’s where I send my clients, grouped by the kind of meal: the big tables like Pujol and Quintonil, and which to book months ahead and which to walk into.

I’ll say it plainly: Mexico City is one of the great eating cities in the world. It has two-Michelin-star dining rooms and a corn counter with no menu at all, and both are so worth your time. The trick is knowing which to book months ahead, which to simply walk into, and how to spread them across your days so you’re never rushing from one to the next.
So here’s where I send my clients, grouped by the kind of meal you’re in the mood for.
