Pat Patz - Review - Juárez - Mexico City - The Infatuation

"This restaurant in a pretty little alley is one of just a few Middle Eastern restaurants in CDMX, but the real selling point of Pat Patz is the menu’s Mexican influence. Dishes like labneh get an extra kick from Mexican spices on top and juicy kebab kofta de res y cordero uses jalapeños. Go to town on the mezze—especially the hearty falafel kebab with hummus and roasted beets—and the drink menu, which includes beer from small-batch breweries, mezcal, wine, and a refreshing Persian lemonade with mint, cucumber, and rose water. Come for lunch to hide from the crowds on Reforma Avenue, and don’t be surprised if the owner who doubles as a server comes over to chat." - Guillaume Guevara
