  "account": "Mexico City, the largest city in North America, is a vibrant and ever-evolving culinary landscape. With a rich history of food traditions, the city continues to surprise and delight food enthusiasts. Since Eater began reporting on Mexico City's dining scene in 2016, the way people travel and dine out has evolved. While some may rely on awards like the 50 Best or the Michelin Guide, there is much more to explore in the city's restaurants.\n\nThe local culinary scene has embraced regional cuisines and is fascinated by culinary trends. Many chefs who launched Mexico City onto the international stage over two decades ago have now passed the torch to a new generation of chefs and restaurateurs who have traveled the world, worked in top kitchens, and returned home to continue their culinary journeys.\n\nThis guide features 38 restaurants and experiences in Mexico City, catering to both first-time and seasoned diners. The list highlights establishments that have unique culinary perspectives, strong commitments to hospitality, and/or young local talent in the kitchen. The write-ups include insider tips from experienced writers and editors, along with rough price ranges for each destination.\n\nIn October 2026, Eater adds new entries to the list, with options spanning various neighborhoods and moods.
