Al Andalus - Review - Centro Histórico - Mexico City - The Infatuation
"One of Mexico City’s oldest Lebanese restaurants is also ideal for slowing down the pace and enjoying a generous meal after museum hopping in Centro Histórico (they have a newer, over-the-top outpost in San Ángel). We love them for the classics, served in family-style portions in an unpretentious space with white tablecloths and not much décor. There’s a thick version of labneh drizzled with olive oil, hummus, and shanklish, plus one of the best crudo kibbeh you’ll find in the city. It’s a generous portion of raw meat (with a bright pink color, shaped like a flower petal), garnished with onion, radishes, and chile for mixing and scooping with crunchy pita bread triangles. Since they’re grilling masters, go with anything with meat, like the shawarma or grilled lamb chops." - Mariana Camacho
