Estado de Mexico, Mexico Food Guide: 10 Latin food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Amecameca

August 20, 2020 Randal Brittian

Find out what Latin restaurants to try in Amecameca. Amecameca (formally Amecameca de Juárez) is a town and municipality located in the eastern panhandle of Mexico State between Mexico City and the Iztaccíhuatl and Popocatépetl volcanos of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is located on federal highway 115 which leads to Cuautla, which is called the Volcano Route (Ruta de los Volcanes). This area is popular with weekend visitors from Mexico City, Puebla and Morelos to enjoy the scenery of the mountains, eat local foods, visit the Sanctuary of the Señor del Sacromonte, the Panoaya Hacienda and other attractions. However, when Popocatépetl is active, tourism here drops dramatically. The area receives a large number of visitors during the annual Carnival/Festival del Señor del Sacromonte, which extends over the week containing Ash Wednesday and is considered to be one of the most important festivals in Mexico State.

Restaurante Antiguo San Angel Inn

Two friends and I visited this lovely restaurant that I had been to twice before. The service was exceptional and the food and margaritas very memorable. My favorite part of the whole experience was having all the lovely local families laughing and enjoying each other on a gorgeous Sat afternoon. The garden was lovely as well and there was even nice music!!!I will always dine here when visiting Mexico City. This also was the perfect place to have a late comiida after visiting El Bazaar sabado.

Cambalache Plaza Oasis

One of the loveliest restaurants in Cancun! Every dining area is comfortable and family friendly, where whatever the age, you will feel right at home. The perfect place to enjoy a fine cut of meat, accompanied by a fine selection of wine, this restaurant

19°20'43.59"N 99°10'50.77"WThere are many Cambalache restaurant. Cambalache is the name of a Tango style song that was written in 1935 by Enrique Santos Discepolo. It was sung by many, notably by Carlos Gardel, the king of tango. You will see the picture of Gardel in many places, particularly in the menu.You walk in the Oasis Coyoacan, one of the newer Plaza in Mexico CDMX, and go right to the end. As you approach, you will see a pool with cascadas and then you will see that there is a fountain. There is a show every hour and it is worth seing. To your left, the restaurant.As you enter, a reception area. If you do not have a reservation, you have to sign in and wait outside. And wait you will. This restaurant is usually full to capacity.If you have a reservation, a wise habit to have when going to this type of restaurant, The maitre D will take you to your table.At first glance, this is obviously an expensive restaurant. The decor is magnificent. Our table was in the smoking area (there is a non smoking area as well) right by the window and with a view of the outside.The menu is very complete, with prices such as you would expect.There are many wines, mostly fromArgentina since this is an argentinian restaurant.The service is of course first class. The waiters are discreet but always (or nearly always) available.We started with a consomme Adelita for two of the guests and followed it with a platter of Iberico puro de bellota simiar to but not like the Pata Negra that I usually eat. It did not have that nutty taste of the Pata Negra and the fat did not completely melt on the tongue. The platter was a whopping 760 pesos or 12.00 US per person. The main course followed. Mirta had 2 spinach empanadas, I had a 200 gr filet mignon, Marco had an 800gr arrachera (skirt steak) and Beatriz had a bife de chorizo (sirloin strip steak).What did not please me was that those plates came naked. You had to pay 95 pesos for potato puree and another 95 pesos for creamed spinach.We also had a jar of wine, cider and fruit. This is called Clericot and is similar to Sangria. That was the meal and it cost a little over 4,000 pesos. It was good but not wow. But I guess that some one has to pay for the decor. Mind you, if you have the money, it is worth it as was testified by a full room.

My husband and I came for lunch, we should have taken advice to not eat seafood this far from the coast. The service was really good. We shared the cebcihes samplers - they were fine. Esquites con camaron was really good and then we split Plancha del Mar - the fish and possibly the octopus tasted off and about 8 hours later we were both sick with chills,hot sweats and gastrointestinal symptoms. We had not eaten anywhere else or drank any other place this day and are pretty sure it was from the fish that did not taste fresh in the entrees we ate.

Reviewed By Don G

I can’t say enough about this place. We loved the food—every bite—and enjoyed the staff, every one of which knew all about the dishes they were serving. My wife had the mole enchiladas and I had the chipotle “hongo” enchiladas. Both were excellent; but the appetizers were the pinnacle of our dinner: their special cheese dish (called “Ocosingo” or something like that and the “mixto” ceviche. They served us three different salsas that were unique and uncommonly tasty. Everything was just scrumptious. We’ll be back!

Restaurante El Cardenal

Reviewed By jessmadrigal

Most locals will try to stir you away because of the "high prices".Don't be fooled, the prices are fairly affordable and the food is quite authentic. You pay for the atmosphere and the experience. I had their chicken chilaquiles with green chili sauce (not spicy at all).They were delicious and the portion was just right.Their pan dulce.. I can't even put into words how perfect their concha was. It was crunchy yet soft in the middle. It was still warm, as if it had just been taken out of the oven. Overall wonderful experience here. Perfect for a family outing.On a final note, the location was perfect, near el Zocalo.

Fantastic meal! I ordered the July 2019 special Chile en Nogada as recommended by Anthony Bourdain for Mexico. It was fantastic and delicious – I have tasted nothing like it in USA. My dish was numbered! Wine from Baja California. Service was superb! Cost is reasonable. My dining companion ordered Mole which was outstanding.It is very comforting to receive messages like yours, and we would love to meet you again. It will be our pleasure to serve you again.

I stopped here because it was close to my bed and breakfast, and ended up having a terrific meal. I had Salsa Puttanesca, prepared at tableside, which I thought was interesting, and a tomato and goat cheese “salad“, which was more like a set of toppings on a circular cracker, but which was very good. I was fortunate enough to hit their jazz night, with a five piece live ensemble, so that was a welcome surprise as well.Dear GtaylorpdxThank you very much for sharing your comments about your experience in AlmaraJust for your informationt , we have our Jazz night , on last thursday at month.

A good choice of meat. Choose the NY rib steak with a nice glass of Mexican Malbec and the dinner was just fine. Maybe a little bit expensive compare to Mexican standard but for the rest nothing to say. I can highly recommend.Hola 354huguessMuchas gracias por tus comentarios, esperamos regreses pronto. ¡Saludos!
