"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
