Best Restaurants in Juárez

"Una barra minimalista para solo 13 personas donde el chef sirve un omakase de nigiri con pescado de Japón en un ambiente que replica la intimidad de un sushi-ya de Tokio. Sin lista de espera walk-in — solo reservaciones, lo que garantiza atención personalizada."

"Only 10 seats. Chef Abraham López presents up to 21 courses of hyper-seasonal omakase at CDMX's most exclusive Japanese counter, with fish flown from Japan and a sake list curated course-by-course."

"The Tokyo chain's CDMX outpost lives up to the hype. Creamy chicken paitan broth, Michelin-recommended."

"From the team behind Handshake Speakeasy (#2 World's 50 Best Bars). Same craft standards but louder, more party — giant table-sharing cantaritos, no time limits. Opened Oct 2025. Cover ~$900 MXN. One of the most talked-about new venues in CDMX."

"Sinaloan coastal seafood from the coasts of Mazatlán, landed in Juárez. Flaming fish, callo de hacha, bluefin tuna tostada. Went viral, 4.8 stars on OpenTable. The best new mariscos spot in the city right now."

"German street food concept earning serious attention—Michelin recognized. The currywurst with house sauce is addictive."

"La chef Fabiola Escobosa, formada en los restaurantes de Ignacio Mattos en Nueva York, trajo a la Juárez un bistró de influencias mexicanas con diseño artístico y platos que combinan ingredientes locales con técnica neoyorquina. Reconocimiento en la Guía Michelin y un ambiente igual de impresionante que la comida."

"Chef Aram Abisahi hides a French brasserie on the 3rd floor of Casa Prim with a secret rooftop terrace. French technique meets seasonal Mexican ingredients. Time Out called it 'gems hiding on a secret terrace.'"

"Won Best Cocktail Menu in Mexico at the Shaker Awards 2025, just months after opening. 12 cocktails, one per Chinese zodiac sign. Mexican ferments meet Chinese spirits. Bar #8 in Mexico. Thu–Mon only, 7pm til late."

"A tiny, owner-operated Korean spot just off Zona Rosa with a razor-focused menu of only six dishes, all made by Korean expat cooks who treat the recipes like family heirlooms. It holds a near-perfect rating with almost no marketing — the kind of place that survives purely on word of mouth from the local Korean community."

"The anti-pretension spot on Marsella — no fixed menu, just whatever's at market that week. Product-first, instinctive cooking. On the same block as Masala y Maíz. Reservations via Tock. Retro atmosphere, zero ego."

"Una ostería italiana de barrio enclavada en la Juárez que toma en serio tanto el desayuno como la cena, con pasta fresca hecha a diario y una selección de vinos italianos bien elegida. La cocina es aventurera sin perder la tradición: platos como pulpo a la griglia y tiramisú casero generan filas."

"Supplì es una trattoria romana informal con una carta corta pero contundente de pastas tradicionales italianas. La carbonara con pecorino romano traído de Italia y los antipastos como los supplì de mortadela y parmesano hacen de este spot un viaje directo a Roma."

"El Minutito es un café bar familiar inspirado en la cultura italiana y madrileña que funciona como cafetería de día y bar de vino y vermut desde las 5 pm, con decoración vintage que rinde homenaje a la familia fundadora. Su sándwich de pavo a la plancha es considerado uno de los mejores de CDMX."

"The best Peruvian cevichería in CDMX, with leche de tigre spiked with Mexican chiles."

"Occupies the exact site of Mexico's first-ever amusement park (Parque Luna, 1906–1983)—now a legendary carnitas taquería in Colonia Juárez. The longaniza-carnitas mix is a local secret and the salsas are exceptional. Cash only."

"A tiny, low-profile noodle spot that feels genuinely extracted from a Tokyo back alley — limited seating, no-frills decor, and a focused menu built around miso ramen done with real fermented depth. The gyoza are consistently crispy-bottomed and juicy inside, and the communal counter setup creates an atmosphere most CDMX ramen shops only approximate."

"Set on the second floor of a building in Zona Rosa, Ora serves a broader Korean menu than most competitors — bulgogi, classic Korean ramens, tteokbokki, and rotating Korean comfort specials in a space that feels like you've stumbled into a Seoul neighborhood diner. The owners are Korean and the recipes are personal, not commercial."

"Testarudo opera dentro de una casona histórica catalogada con pisos y detalles arquitectónicos originales, ofreciendo una terraza exterior rodeada de vegetación que cambia con la luz del día.

"Juárez deli with well-sourced charcuterie and creative sandwiches. Great spot for a weekday lunch."

"Japanese Ramen house with traditional recipes"

"Bagels are fine, nothing to rush for. Serviceable breakfast option in Juárez if you're already in the area."

"An open-door bar rooted in synth-pop culture with multiple rooms, each carrying its own personality. Queer-friendly and inclusive, it has become a favorite late-night social hub in the Juárez corridor."

"A Juárez spot that locals adopted instantly for its perfectly seasoned pork chop tacos. The Liverpool original has the original energy and runs 24 hours."

"Named Bar No. 8 in Mexico at the 2025 Shaker Awards, Chow Chow House blends Chinese zodiac lore with fermented Mexican ingredients—each of the 12 cocktails represents an animal sign using Asian and Mexican elements. No gimmick, just genuinely excellent drinks."

"A modern cantina in Juárez that celebrates feminine leadership and bans machismo—with eight free botanas with any drink order, a domino tournament on Sundays, and Tuesday locals' nights with 50% off agave spirits for CDMX residents."

"Named after the German word for a casual snack bar, Imbiss is a Juárez European-Asian bistro that becomes a genuine wine bar after dinner service. Chef Filipe Neves' tteokbokki carbonara is the dish everyone comes back for. Industry favorite."

"A casual Mediterranean restaurant-bar on Gral. Prim in Juárez with a terrace, excellent natural wines, and a weekend brunch that locals defend fiercely. The bar program is low-key but the ingredients are impeccable."

"Same team as Handshake (World's No. 2 Bar), same obsession with ingredients—but in a walk-in cantina format on Reforma. The Batanga, Margarita, and Cantarito are reimagined without the prix-fixe structure. Opened October 2025."

"Mexico City's original speakeasy (2016), accessed through a false wall in a Oaxacan restaurant kitchen. Ranked No. 13 globally in World's 50 Best Bars. Inspires everything that came after it in the CDMX speakeasy scene."

"No. 2 in the World's 50 Best Bars 2025 and No. 1 in 2024—Handshake Speakeasy on Calle Amberes is the bar that put CDMX on the global cocktail map. Each drink takes 48 hours to prepare. Still surprisingly accessible if you book in advance."
