My Mexico City with Máximo’s Chef Lalo García

"Set on the broad avenue that’s the main artery of Roma Norte, this One MICHELIN Star bistro from chef-owner Lalo García is perpetually on a waitlist and a go-to for well-heeled locals and in-the-know tourists; García’s cooking and sense of style have helped cement his place in the city’s exceptional dining scene. The space—once an auto repair shop—feels cool and elegant with a vaulted industrial ceiling and blond wood furnishings, and the menu pairs a can’t-miss fried chicken that’s always offered with a rotating selection of creative daily dishes that pull inspiration from local purveyors and refined French technique." - David Shortell
