Description

Its menu boasts that Mexico City has been family-owned for forty years -- and every year shows in the depth of flavor this modest kitchen gives its green chile (offered hot or mild), its fried tacos, its steak and breakfast burritos, even that squeeze bottle of salsa. Although this stretch of Larimer has become almost unrecognizable over the past decade, with costly loft projects going up on all sides, Mexico City remains a down-home cantina full of guaranteed good food and good times.

  • 2003 | Best Happy-Hour Tacos

    For decades, the Mexico City Lounge has been famous for its steak tacos, with lunchtime crowds lining up for plates slicked with oil and topped with three flour tortillas stuffed with tender chunks of steak, melted cheese and slices of avocado. Now all this greasy goodness is also available at Mexico City's new happy hour, which runs from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. The great deal on tacos (any two -- chicken, beef or those legendary steak -- for $3.50) and assorted beer bargains... More »

  • 2001 | Best Tostada

    In honor of the new century and the ever-improving ballpark neighborhood, Mexico City Lounge has done a thorough house-cleaning -- right down to remodeled bathrooms and a tiny expansion that put two tables in the former kitchen -- and moved the kitchen to the back of the old Larimer Square storefront. The change in kitchen locations apparently necessitated an oil change, too, because everything coming out of that kitchen tastes much brighter and fresher -- even the notoriously greasy and...
