"A Mexico City–style all-day café that will run a pop-up offering snacks and mezcal on the new restaurant’s first day of service." - Nadia Chaudhury
"When it opened, Cicatriz was one of Mexico City’s first wine bars. And while plenty have shown up around town since, it’s managed to hang onto its shine. Their key lime pie is partly to blame. So is their seasonal pumpkin pie. Plan on ordering more than just sweets from the American menu, though. At breakfast, we especially like the egg and ham sandwich served on a homemade biscuit. Or, if you’re here around lunch or dinner, opt for the equally excellent fried chicken sandwich. This isn’t your typical small-plates lineup, so come hungry and digest with a lap around Plaza Washington after your meal." - guillaume guevara

"A brother-sister expat duo has opened this chic slice of Brooklyn in Colonia Juárez, the neighborhood currently angling to be Mexico City’s hippest. No complaints on that account at Cicatriz, whose open, industrial-styled storefront is a forum for several daily moods. No-compromise coffee and a variety of alternative baked goods form the morning agenda; lunch means a major emphasis on locally sourced greens in great salads and roasted iterations; the meatball and fried-chicken sandwich are both major crowd-pleasers as well. After five, it’s time to get your drink on; the bartenders deliver superior, crafted quaffs, but free from all the fuss you’ll see at other haute mixology spots. The earnest, healthful menu is enhanced by an overall vibe of do-it-yourself chic."
