San Ángel Inn

Coyoacán & San Ángel


Classic Mexican meals are served in the garden and various elegant dining rooms of this historic estate opposite the Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo. Try the pollo con mole almendrado, chicken with a spiced, almond sauce. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, the inn provides activities for kids in the rear garden, meaning it's margarita time for parents.

Vegetarians have slim pickings.
