Fonda Margarita

21 Classic Restaurants In Mexico City - Mexico City - The Infatuation

"Looking for a generously portioned homestyle Mexican breakfast? The road leads to Fonda Margarita. The diner-like spot in Del Valle has been churning out family-sized egg and bean plates since 1948. Breakfast is a vibrant experience, where huge pots are aligned over the stove, and people enjoy their steamy stews at communal tables. Besides their beloved plate of thick, refried beans mixed with scrambled eggs, order the chicharrón en salsa verde, made from pork skin that becomes soft and chewy when cooked in green tomatillo sauce. This humble yet flavorful meal can be paired with eggs in pasilla sauce, allowing you to dig into the variety of flavors from different types of chilies. Arrive early, as they’re only open from 6:30am to 12:30pm." - mariana camacho
