Best restaurants in Condesa, Mexico City

Condesa restaurants mix destination dinners with some of the most-loved casual food in Mexico City. The seated tables below are spread around Parque México and Parque España, and the taquerías and snack stops are close enough to fit between two walks. Each page explains what to order, what the menu costs and how to book.

A good Condesa day pairs one booked meal with a slower afternoon: walk the parks and the Avenida Ámsterdam loop, stop for tacos or ice cream, and keep the evening for a table or a drink at Baltra Bar.
