Malix

What To Do in Polanco, Mexico City: Our Guide | Condé Nast Traveler

"Malix holds down two storefronts with their doors thrown open to the street; one side, a small grocery for organic produce, jarred and tinned comestibles, and a display refrigerator full of hanging meat and charcuterie, the other a small circular bar with tall stools. Though the restaurant uses a Mayan word for street dog or “mutt,” the young, talented chef Alonso Madrigal carries quite a pedigree. Having cooked at Noma, Kaan, and Rosetta among others, he dexterously taps into Mexican roots and carefully sourced ingredients, turning out small plates with strong, earthy flavors and delicate plating. The dishes showcase prime local ingredients like heirloom beans, wild herbs, and mushrooms from the valleys surrounding Central Mexico. He makes a weekly trip to Ozumba, an open-air, Tuesday-only farmers market, the holy grail for Mexico City chefs." - Susannah Rigg, Scarlett Lindeman
