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

"You’re at this decades-old institution to have a traditional Mexican breakfast, whether you visit their iconic branch on Calle de la Palma in Centro Histórico or one of the other five locations throughout the city. The ritual should start with these three courses: their baked-in-house conchas—the most famous bread in the Mexican pastries playbook—an order of natas, the creamy, fatty layer that forms on boiled milk, sourced from their own dairy farm, plus a cup of hot chocolate. Then move on to a busting plate of eggs with escamoles, chilaquiles, or enchiladas that never disappoint. There will be a crowd but don’t be discouraged. Although the wait time is typically 20-30 minutes, the attentive and efficient service makes it all worth it." - mariana camacho
