Voraz

The 38 Best Restaurants in Mexico City | Eater

"For years, the Servicio Becerra autoshop stood on the corner of Aguascalientes and Manzanillo in Roma Norte. The shop’s hand-painted sign still signals the entrance, but the concrete-heavy interior now houses Voraz, a gastropub by chef Emiliano Padilla. The restaurant makes the space feel welcoming with pristine white tablecloths and a busy open kitchen, where Padilla produces conversation-starting apps like a salty churro served with cotija cheese sauce and chile powder. Meatless main dishes include options like roasted broccoli with pumpkin seed sauce or an uchepo, a sweet corn tamale made here with cheese foam and tomatillo sauce. There’s a bar area where you can have a snack alongside cocktails like the Melipon Sour with gin, honey, and xtabentún. Know before you go: Sunday dinner can be tricky in Mexico City, as most restaurants close early; Voraz, which closes at 10, fills that gap." - Natalia de la Rosa
