Mexico City Restaurants

  1. Al-Andalus

    Al-Andalus caters to the capital's substantial Lebanese community, serving shawarma, kebabs, kibbe (spiced lamb fritters), felafel and so on in a superb colonial mansion in the Merced market district. Dine in one of the wood-beamed halls or on a terrace overlooking the courtyard. After lunch, choose from a tempting array of baklavas and other syrupy pastries, then kick back with a hookah.
