Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Tabacalera

My husband and I spent a month in Mexico City eating in a different restaurant from the Michelin Guide each evening. Migrante was by far the best. The atmosphere is lovely, the waitstaff is excellent and the food is inventive, beautifully presented, reasonably priced, and delicious.

The snacks and appetizers were out of this word. Crudo of the day is enjoyable at every bite, full of flavors. The mezcal fresh cocktail is soo good!

Maximo is worth a visit. Make your reservations early. It’s a very comfortable environment- warm and friendly. Food was very good. Service great.

Dining at Lorea in Mexico City was an extraordinary experience, elevated even further by sitting at the chef’s table, where we witnessed firsthand the artistry of Chef Oswaldo Oliva and his talented team. The tasting menu was a masterful celebration of Mexican ingredients and flavors, thoughtfully reimagined through modern techniques and creative storytelling. Each dish showcased a deep respect for native ingredients, blending tradition with innovation in unexpected yet harmonious ways. The attention to detail was impeccable, not just in the food but also in the warm and knowledgeable service, making every moment feel intentional and special. The wine pairing was equally impressive, carefully curated to enhance the complexity of the dishes. While every selection stood out, the true revelation of the evening was the Rosa de Uva from Bodega del Viento (Coahuila, Mexico)—a beautifully balanced rosé that exemplifies the growing excellence of Mexican winemaking. This pairing, alongside the intricate flavors of the menu, highlighted the richness and diversity of Mexico’s culinary heritage. Lorea is more than a restaurant; it is a sensory journey through the best of Mexico’s ingredients, executed with precision, passion, and a touch of magic. For those seeking an unforgettable dining experience in Mexico City, it is an absolute must-visit.

Good food and great service. It needs more wine options
