Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Aeropuerto / Iztapalapa / Neza

Our best meal so far in CDMX. The portions were generous: three of us shared two appetizers, two mains, and two desserts and we still took home “to-go.” The food was innovative and delicious! Service was highly professional and the space upstairs was lovely. A real gem.

Our recent visit to Balcón del Zócalo was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm, kind service that made us feel right at home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our experience was memorable, and their attentiveness truly stood out. The highlight of our visit, without a doubt, was the breathtaking view. Overlooking the historic Zócalo, the panoramic vista of Mexico City's iconic landmarks was simply mesmerizing. Whether we were enjoying a meal or simply sipping on a drink, the view added an unforgettable touch to every moment. We spent the day exploring the historic center of the city, soaking in its rich culture and vibrant energy, and Balcón del Zócalo was the perfect way to cap off our adventure. The combination of delicious food, exceptional service, and that incredible view made it an experience we’ll cherish. We can’t wait to return and relive this amazing experience. Balcón del Zócalo is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy the heart of Mexico City in style. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic lunch with great service and white selection of beverages from around the world. Highly recommend.

The view is excellent. We saw the retiring of the Mexican flag at 1800. Very impressive. Service was great. The special had a choice of mystery meat ( tasteless) or salmon, but they were out of salmon AND Caesar salad. So, just know, the point is the view, not the food. Service was excellent.

The prices are reasonable compared to similar restaurants nearby and the quality is outstanding. The pulpo tostada was delicious and the gordita with chicharron-style pulpo was an innovative take that worked very well. It was my first time trying aguachile and the chile de arbol red aguachile didn’t disappoint!
