"After relocating to the Juárez neighborhood in fall 2023, Makan received diners in a revamped space overlooking one of Mexico City’s iconic roundabouts, El Reloj Chino. Chefs Maryann Yong and Mario Malvaez have kept Makan’s most popular dishes on the menu — like the fish larb and the Singaporean chicken with rice — while adding a few more fun options such as the chili king crab with sambal, lacquered duck, and char siu pork belly. The restaurant has come a long way from the small courtyard that served as its original home in Roma Norte; the new dining room is focused on an open kitchen, and there are two private rooms for intimate parties. The updated cocktail menu complements the usual funk from their natural wine selection." - Natalia de la Rosa, Daniela Galarza
