"El Parnita tends to get packed after 3pm on Thursdays and Fridays, with people lingering over margaritas, micheladas, and cubas. The classic Mexican pop and cumbia blaring from the speakers and the lively crowds make this one of the most festive restaurants in the area—and potentially the entire city. All their tacos are served on a homemade blue corn tortilla, and the taco carmelita with breaded shrimp and the zacatlan with zucchini are must-orders. Head upstairs to Paramo when it’s time to eat again—it’s a party there, too." - guillaume guevara

"The family behind this small, unassuming open-air cafeteria have mastered the art of the snack, collecting recipes from around the country for years and finally serving their discoveries in an endless stream of small plates (and small plates alone). Tostadas, shrimp tacos, tlacoyitos (fried balls of masa served with refried beans, cream, and avocado), freshly made tortillas, their famous killer habanero salsa: Everything here is delicious and made fresh daily. Head over on the weekend and you're in for barbecued treats—meat or seafood, depending on what's fresh on the day."


"A laid-back lunch spot in La Roma popular with the local art crowd; on Friday afternoons it's common to find diners taking their time, holding tables and lingering long after dessert, making it an ideal place for casual, social sobremesas." - Karina Zatarain
