Caribbean

Juárez/Cuauhtémoc

About the restaurant

La tradición de una cantina mexicana en un viaje a través del Caribe, desde la península de Yucatán hasta la costa del Amapá.
Nuestro menú, diseñado por el chef colombiano Sebastián Pinzón (fundador de Proyecto Caribe Lab y copropietario del restaurante Celele en Cartagena, número 19 en The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2022) refleja ese eclecticismo en platillos típicos caribeños desde un ceviche de pescado con láminas de jícama fresca y leche de coco; una muy mexicana lengua de res en salsa caribeña a base de piloncillo y especias que se complementa con un sofrito de ron y vegetales; el pollo Jerk Style de Jamaica y los clásicos doubles de Trinidad y Tobago.
Acompañados de coctelería inspirada en lugares icónicos -Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Jamaica, etc.- resulta una experiencia refrescante en un lugar donde se charla, se come y se bebe bien.

Jardines del Pedregal

About the restaurant

We are heirs and witnesses of the old cantineras glories, as well as their resurgence. Of its gastronomy, its spirits and the experience that involves sharing "where the word gets wet".

Under the same cantinera proposal that characterizes us, this is our eleventh location and the seventh in Mexico City. Find us at Plaza Artz Pedregal, south of the city.

The show was definitely the highlight of the night,absolutely amazing band and a great vibe. Unfortunately, the food was just okay, nothing memorable, and the drinks were disappointing, reminded me of something you’d get at a cheap resort. Service was also surprisingly slow, especially considering the place was nearly empty and there were plenty of waiters standing around. I’d come back just to enjoy the live music, but I’ll definitely eat elsewhere beforehand and stick to a simple glass of wine or beer. This place has potential, but the service and drinks really need improvement.

Altavista / San Angel / San Jerónimo

About the restaurant

La Jacinta es un restaurante de ambiente ligero y casual donde vivirás experiencias inolvidables degustando de platillos con influencia mexicana y un toque botanero acompañándolo con tu bebida preferida al compás de la música disfrutando de las diferentes propuestas de nuestra gastronomía.

La Jacinta es un restaurante ubicado en la Plaza San Jacinto, una vieja casona del siglo XVIII que antiguamente era una estación de carruajes. En la plaza podemos encontrar una galería al aire libre donde numerosos pintores y artesanos nos brindan un paisaje alegre sábados y domingos. Por si fuera poco, esta plaza recuerda al heroico Batallón de San Patricio, que, a pesar de su origen irlandés, apoyó al ejército mexicano durante la intervención norteamericana en 1847.
