Tetetlán

"Yes, the food at Tetetlán is very good, but it isn’t the main reason to stop by. It’s one of the most unique and eye-catching restaurants we’ve ever seen, and it’s located next to the Luis Barragan-designed Casa Pedregal (which you can and should visit). The huge space, formerly the property’s horse stables, is a blend of Barragan architecture and a more modern setup, with a transparent floor exposing the natural volcanic lava stones, and a mix of strange, perfect furniture. There’s a gigantic private book collection scattered throughout the space, which you can browse while going through the huge menu of tacos, tlayudas, and pizzas." - guillaume guevara

"Located in Jardines del Pedregal, an elegant suburb on the outskirts of the city, Tetetlán is worth the trip. Originally the horse stables of a home designed by Mexico’s most influential architect, Luis Barragán, the space was recently restored by an art collector who lives next door. It is many things: a café serving shade-grown local coffee, a showcase for local designers, a restaurant serving creative Mesoamerican dishes, a yoga studio, a hotel for visiting artists who are asked to donate a book to Tetetlán’s extensive collection, and a listening library. But it’s the space’s design that’s truly breathtaking: glass floors look down on the area’s local purple-black volcanic rock, and the sun pouring in from skylights is warmed by rafters painted in Barragán’s signature pink."

"Restaurants serve imaginative menus with local ingredients next to racks of Oaxaca- and Chiapas-crafted clothing."
