  1. A

    Ambar

    On the upper level of the new Museo Modelo de Ciencias e Industria building, Ambar is laid out in a massive, appropriately industrial space with exposed beams and piping, two-story-high ceilings and sleek wooden furniture. Sports matches are projected on the stark white walls. The food, however, compensates. Dishes like salmon in asparagus sauce, giant shrimp with pistachio salsa, and duck with hibiscus sauce are a delight.

    La Gloria Chocolatería y Pan 1876

    You feel lucky just to be here, and you’ll almost certainly be the only foreign visitor when you are. This wonderful, friendly, family-run snack spot and café serves up a tempting, changing menu of local cuisine, from tacos al pastor (spicy pork tacos) and tortas stuffed with oven-baked pork or shredded chicken bathed in red or green mole poblano.

    La Vaquita Negra del Portal

    On the northwest corner of the arcades, smoked hams and huge green-and-red sausages hanging over the deli counter signal first-rate tortas. Try a messy toluqueña (red pork chorizo sausage, white cheese, cream, tomato and salsa verde ), and don’t forget to garnish your heaping sandwich with spicy pickled peppers and onions.
