    This place has the friendliest staff and a great vibe. The coffee is great too. I go here for my morning coffee every time I visit the city.

    A friend of mine told me about this cafe, so I dropped over here during the middle of my Sunday bike ride. Since I live about a mile away, it's much easier to get to places on my bike. This cafe is in a section where several other small restaurants and cafes coexist. I definitely liked the vibe of the area, and the cafe as well. It's rather small, and there's no clear signage to indicate your at the right ace, but o ce you find it, it's worth the effort. The have about ten tables inside of the restaurant, as well as, outside in front which is where I sat. We ordered two cafe lattes con me he almond, and it was pretty good. We also ordered a side of toast with marmelada (jelly) sauce. The have good WiFi and there wasn't any loud music going on, which could make it conducive for working. The Staff that I encountered were just ok, not super friendly by any stretch.

    Cicatriz is a trendy coffee shop in a little circular area with other shops and lots of outdoor seating. Needing coffee in the mornings, Cicatriz's high online rating guided us to their coffee bar. My wife ordered an iced latte (they don't have decaf) and I a hot latte. We both loved the taste, the quality of beans and creaminess. If you like coffee, we recommend!

    Roasted carrots with tahini yogurt, macha sauce & herbs / eggs with tomato salt / avocado toast

    We came here every morning during our stay! They have smooth coffee and delicious food (get the braised short rib sandwich, the eggs with tomato salt, and the carrots with herbs+tahini!!!) that's served aside a cute fountain by a parklet. The people are friendly and were very patient with my very novice-level Spanish. We can't wait to be back and I think about it every day!

    Toronja caramelizada!

    November 20th is a holiday in Mexico City, most restaurants closed early. My fiancé and I were stuck on were to go...luckily we thought about this place which we saw while walking... They have a very small food menu, the fried avocado sandwich was delicious...tons of bread if your watching the carbs lol. My fiancé ordered the fried chicken sandwich & wasn't impressed. And we both decided that the roasted broccoli had good flavor but it was served slightly cold & cooked way too long. Lastly we had drinks, now I'd say this should be the spot to chill and drink alcohol or maybe coffee(which we didn't try).

    They have a nice selection of spirits too!

    This is a great little cafe/coffee spot. They have a small but well curated menu of New American sort of dishes. The espresso is great. There's wifi and some outlets. It's located off s little plaza so there's a nice view as well.

We were told the wait would be 30mins but it was over an hour. At some point the staff member removed our name from the list despite us standing right next to the door and waiting (and asking for updates) the whole time. The host was apologetic about this and tried her best to make up for it with a good table. Eventually we were seated and the menu was great. Really delicious food choices ranging from my Mexican flavors to more basic Western options. Scrambled eggs looked good, the piadina was delicious, as were the chilaquiles! Plenty of fresh juice options and pastries (from Rosetta)!

This…read morelocation is located by the city center and after sight seeing, my husband and I decided to stop by here for churros. Luckily when we came last Sunday, around 2 pm, there was no wait for a table. An employee saw us and told us to sit anywhere. As soon as sat down, another employee brought us menus. We ended up getting: Grande Lechero, $54 MXN ($3.13 USD)- Large size coffee with milk. When our server brought over my husband's drink, she made a grand show of pouring the milk up high into my husband's coffee. I just wished I had gotten a video of it but it was definitely very fun to watch. My husband said his coffee was good (I didn't have any because I am not much of a coffee drinker). Combo 1 with Grande chocolate drink, $155 MXN ($8.98 USD)- So this combination comes with 4 large pieces of churros, 1 dip of your choice and also a chocolate drink. I ended up choosing a Mexican hot chocolate, which is made with cinnamon and sugar. Surprisingly the drink wasn't overly sweet. And really was perfect to dip my churro into the hot chocolate. For the dip, I picked cajeta, which is caramel made with goats milk. The cajeta was excellent with the churro. I don't know if this was the best churro that I have ever had, but it is definitely one of the top ones I have ever had. My husband also enjoyed the churros and the cajeta (he also liked my hot chocolate too). --------------------------- (Total= $209 MXN or $12.11 USD prior to tip) Wait time for our items was pretty quick. We waited less than 10 minutes for everything. Also credit card is accepted so my husband paid (We have the Costco Visa credit card which does not have a foreign transaction fee, which we used exclusively when we were not paying cash). Our server brought a card reader machine to our table when we were ready to pay (for those of you unaware, in Mexico, you will not be brought your check until you ask for it because it is considered rude to give it to you beforehand, assuming that you are being rushed). Overall, we had a really great experience at this location and highly recommend checking out any of the Churrería El Moro locations the next time you visit Mexico City.

Got an order of 4 churros with caramel (cajeta) and guava (Guayaba) dipping sauces, they were out of chocolate. You can have them tossed in regular sugar or cinnamon sugar which is traditional. The churros were warm and crispy on the outside and soft inside but had a slight burnt flavor. Both dipping sauces were good but in a different way. It's like donuts topped with caramel or guava, one is more fruity and the other more sweet. Just depends what you're in the mood for or what you prefer. I also got the frances hot chocolate which is their hot chocolate with vanilla. It was better than what I had earlier at another place. Overall the churros were good but not the best i've had.

I have actually been here several times over the past few months. The smallest pie (torta) was called Pelo de Angel.

The second más larger pastry was called dDanes de Zarzamora and it was twice as delicious. The cafe is always comfortable and you won't find a lot of loud chatter here, which is what I like.

They were literally everywhere swarming around and it was super cool to see the workers just working around the bees while they were all over the syrups and machines! Drinks- We got 3 different Cacao drinks (the chili one, pepper one and vanilla) for the most part, All 3 tasted the same to us, the only thing that did taste different was the consistency and a slight kick of something at the end of every sip. Regardless, they all tasted great. The only thing we were confused on was if there was coffee in here or not as we couldn't taste it at all. The employees here were nice. The barista recommended the cacao drink to us so we went with it. Ambiance- place was clean for the most part also with a good amount of seating. Plenty of light so it was a great place for studying

They had a pretty good crowd, that's when I noticed it was a churro shop and it was called El Moro. During my weeklong trip to Mexico City I ended up visiting this shop multiple times during all different times of the day and evening. This business I found out later has multiple locations and is one of the most famous churro shops in all of Mexico City. I really enjoyed them so much-their churros are made fresh all day I liked that this location was super clean and had plenty of tables to sit to enjoy your freshly made churros and coffee drinks. Speaking of coffee drinks, they have excellent coffee as many a mornings on this trip started with coffee from El Moro. Their churros are very inexpensive as they run about 16 pesos($0.95 USD) each.So we always grabbed a few every visit. The churros had a really good size to them and were just doused in cinnamon and sugar-they tasted perfect both sweetness level and texture-wise. I generally always ordered Americanos which ran 55 pesos($3.25 USD) Not the best value in the world but good enough/they matched up well with the fresh churros. Overall I would highly recommend stopping by El Moro if you run across one of them on your travels to Mexico City-I really enjoyed them and look forward to visiting them again on future visits to Mexico City.
