Ancestral Cocina Tradicional

"Nestled in a grove of trees under a thatched roof, this spacious, outdoor restaurant in the Barrio de Xochimilco neighborhood has been something of a hidden oasis since 2017. The flavors are fairly classical, as Chef Miguel Mijangos takes inspiration from his grandmother, his childhood, and beyond. An opening volley of local cheese compressed with tomato and herbs, a jar of pickled vegetables, and warm, crispy tostadas is a treat all on its own. The cooking gets creative in dishes like plantains stuffed and garnished with queso and crema and finished with mole coloradito. With a flair for attractive presentations, the restaurant serves a more classic breakfast with the likes of memelas, quesadillas, and tetelas made on the comal by the entrance." - Michelin Inspector
