"Follow the noise to the gleaming bar in the cantina section of this sprawling 1937 restaurant, where rowdy tables of domino and dice games or groups of friends whiling away the day are common and the menu features cheesy potato quesadillas, tongue tacos, and milanesa manchega — a pounded beef or chicken cutlet covered in melted cheese and a rich guajillo chile sauce." - Rulo David
"Cantina del Bosque has a traditional cantina setup—white tablecloths on some tables, mariachis making the rounds—but don’t judge it by its 1937 cover. Unlike most cantinas, del Bosque includes a detailed wine list in addition to mezcal, beer, and bourbon options, but the real winner is the seafood. Head here for lunch after a morning at the museum, and order the sea salt-baked fish that’s deboned tableside (the giant shrimp, with the shells still on and grilled in a rich mix of butter and garlic, is another must-order). Make sure to save room for the traditional chocolate mousse for dessert." - guillaume guevara
