Malcriado ( Condesa )

"Malcriado is a small specialty coffee shop in the morning and a wine bar by night. Under the direction of Colombian chef Valeria Vázquez, the kitchen turns out a no-fuss lunch and early dinner menu that draws inspiration from Mediterranean flavors with dishes like sardine and parsley salad, chicken Milanese, and short rib ragu. Though indoor seating is limited, Malcriado takes advantage of Condesa’s tradition of sidewalk seating, creating a vibrant social scene outside to complement the food and wine. The options for breakfast at Malcriado are solid as well, though not out of the ordinary for the neighborhood; chilaquiles, shakshuka, or an Italian ham with fig sandwich all kick off the day right." - Natalia de la Rosa, Daniela Galarza
