Condesa neighborhood guide
Food scene
preferred by me for breakfast, but also an excellent lunch/dinner option. breakfast is walk-in only so arrive by 9am or earlier! lunch/dinner can be booked on OpenTable.
they also have a separate window for coffee and pastries--they sell Rosetta bread which is the best in the city, as the restaurant is owned by the same woman.

expensive, hipster natural wine bar with outstanding food. small plates but absolutely delicious. be prepared to spend, but it's worth it if you like amazing wine and quality cuisine.

great neighborhood joint for quality pizzas and pastas. they make their own Italian sausage, which is often hard to find here. great option for delivery or pick up as well.

the most classic tacos of La Condesa. if you happen to go on Saturday or Sunday, they also have "quesabirria" tacos which is the best version i've tried anywhere, ever.
during the week the best thing to order is the arrachera tacos, but everything is top notch and it's often very crowded at lunch

classic Arabic-style tacos with pita bread--go when it's not crowded (good luck with that!) and order the gringa especial with avocado. do NOT pass up dessert--this place looks like a hole in the wall (because it is) but it serves the best flan i've tried in Mexico!
