35 Best Restaurants in Mexico City for Birria, Ceviche, and Tacos | Condé Nast Traveler

"Blond wood, greenish hues, and a back dining room cloaked in vines reflect the earthy modern Mexican menu that focuses on vegetables, mushrooms, roots, and herbs. The Polanco restaurant also operated an off-site garden that grows some of the produce used in the kitchen. There are the Pujol fans and then there are the Quintonil acolytes. Representing a new wave Mexican cooking, the kitchen here serves a long nine-course tasting menu that showcases indigenous Mexican ingredients: corn, beans, squash, chiles, and mushrooms, along with a few meat dishes. You can also order à la carte if you don't want to commit the time and money to the tasting menu. Desserts, like a cheese flan with celeriac ice cream, shine." - Scarlett Lindeman, Naomi Tomky

"This captivating dining room from Chef Jorge Vallejo and his wife Alejandra Flores is named for an herb native to Oaxaca. It bears a discreet facade which belies the stunning experience within. The look is chic; more cool than luxurious and far from stuffy.The elegant cuisine is an enticing melding of excellent local product, impressive execution, and great creativity to produce refined compositions. The tasting menu is constantly evolving but may reveal delights such as crab and shards of blue corn tostada arranged with a vivid pipian verde enhanced with untraditional elements like galangal, lemongrass, and makrut lime. The chef's command of balance is evident in a stunning finale of crème fraîche sorbet, caviar, and Melipona honey." - Michelin Inspector
