This wood-panelled design store was previously located in Mexico City and sells niche publications as well as watering cans that double as vases. A one-stop-shop for edgy gifting. 

Visit on a weekend and you might find yourself waiting in a long line for a warming bowl of chilaquiles (corn tortillas totopos simmered in salsa).  The vibe is fun and easygoing, so expect to linger until the early afternoon – this is where locals like to come for a lazy Sunday morning brunch. 

Hidden up a staircase on the second floor of a coffee shop, you’ll find people jostling around an open courtyard at the city’s liveliest watering hole. The menu changes frequently but expect superb cocktails such as the Jicama Sour, a quintessential lemon-and-egg-white cocktail made with fresh poblano chile and kefir leaf oil. 

Most of the food is centreed around Mexico’s most prized ingredient, corn, and is cooked on a large open comal (clay griddle). Expect contemporary riffs on traditional dishes such as fish and green curry served with a tortilla made from blue spirulina, squash flower and beetroot dust.
