Best Authentic Restaurants in Satelite / Naucalpan / Lomas Verdes

We had an amazing dinner at Porfirio’s! Our family was on our last night of vacation and are so happy we ended our trip here. Our food was delicious and the service was amazing! They brought out dips and guacamole to start and we even got to try a Mexican candy dessert to finish. I had the grilled octopus and it was some of the best I’ve ever had!

It’s a great speakeasy style bar - menu uses on local spirits as well as reimagining drinks from other bars. Great service.

We were seated on the second floor with a beautiful view of a park - great for people-watching! The tuna tostadas were amazing (the hype is real) and the staff were very friendly and hospitable. If you like fresh and delicious seafood, don’t hesitate to reserve a table here!

Asai Kaiseki is the real deal. Commanded by the meticulous Itamae Asai, this isn’t some slapdash sushi joint slathering rolls in cream cheese and eel sauce. This is precision. This is heritage. This is one of the top three Japanese restaurants in the city, if not the best. The sushi? Impeccable. They’ve switched to koshihikari rice for their shari, and it makes all the difference, each nigiri elevated, clean, perfectly seasoned. But what truly sets Asai apart is the way it weaves Mexico into its Japanese foundation, not as a gimmick, but with finesse. Take the nopal (cacti) nigiri, for instance—a dish that embodies respect for both traditions without veering into fusion for fusion’s sake. But if you really want to understand what Asai Kaiseki is about, go for the kaiseki experience. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a journey. Course after course, unfolding like a perfectly timed symphony—seasonal, balanced, and deeply rooted in Japanese culinary philosophy. Omakase is also an option here, and it’s equally worth surrendering yourself to the chef’s expertise. This is where you come for real Japanese cuisine in Mexico City. No shortcuts, no theatrics—just craftsmanship, discipline, and a deep respect for the food.

Amazing food and service!! If you’re in Mexico City this is a must stop! The swing is fun too!
