MEXICO CITY
BY CASA ETERNA
Mexico City is layered, electric, and impossible to fully know. Neighborhoods feel like islands — each with its own rhythm, its own food, its own face. You can get lost in its markets, terraces, and parks, and still want more. This is our guide to the city that made us.
EAT & DRINK
Contramar
Mexican tuna toast
The jewel of Roma Norte — getting a table is an adventure, but worth every minute. Order the tuna tostadas and the pescado a la talla. A meeting place for the city's art and design crowd. The waiters' non-stop choreography alone is worth watching.
Durango 200, Roma Nte., Cuauhtémoc, CDMX
Café Nin
Natural wine and slow mornings
One of the city's most beautiful interiors. Come for a slow breakfast or stay for a glass of natural wine in the afternoon. The kind of place you return to every visit.
Havre 73, Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, CDMX
El Turix
Cochinita pibil tacos
A hole in the wall in Polanco that locals have been defending for years. Cash only, always a line, always worth it. Get there early.
Emilio Castelar 212, Polanco, CDMX
Licorería Limantour
Classic cocktails, zero attitude
Consistently ranked one of the best bars in Latin America. The classics are done perfectly here. No gimmicks, just very good drinks and a warm room.
Álvaro Obregón 106, Roma Nte., CDMX
SEE & FEEL
Museo Soumaya
Free entry, world-class collection
The building is a landmark on its own — a silver shell designed by Fernando Romero. Inside, one of Mexico's finest art collections. Free entry, no excuses not to go.
Plaza Carso, Miguel Hidalgo, CDMX
