Every year, the Culinaria Mexicana publishing house releases a list of the country’s 120 best restaurants for the coming year. It’s something a curatorial fête, but also a good way to keep up with Mexico’s incredibly dynamic and fast-changing culinary scene. The list functions as a guide and it’s widely available, at least for the first few months of each year, and maybe best of all, it’s also totally free!

All of the restaurants in the Culinaria Mexicana list can be expected to provide thoughtful, original fare – even though many of them have been open for decades. Many of them have also made appearances on multiple other lists, and all those best Mexico City restaurants have probably been reviewed in these pages.

Restaurants selected to be include are shown to have:

– Provided continuity to Mexico’s “gastronomic project”
– Quality in service
– Quality in the preparation of food
– Correct use of cooking techniques and ingredients
– Allowed for a gastronomic experience worth living (ratio of price to quality)
– Chefs or restaurateurs who support the sustainable development of regional cuisines
– Encouraged the creation of gastronomic communities in their areas
– Participate in community initiatives: altruistic values, academic conferences, editorial production, dissemination, and support for new generations of cooks

And restaurants are divided into the following categories:

– Restaurants of Traditional Mexican Cuisine
– Restaurants of Contemporary Mexican Cuisine
– International Cuisine (traditional or contemporary)

– Restaurants that have become culinary classics
– Recently opened restaurants whose culinary offerings make a great recommendation for 2017
– Hotel restaurants
– Desserts from all over Mexico (chocolate, confectionery, bakery and desserts in general)

Without further ado, the Mexico City portion of the list includes the following:
