![]() ![]() Start your meal with a delicious and filling chorizo taco topped with onion, tomato and cilantro. Complete with a backyard, the décor of this quirky neighborhood staple is distinctly Mexican, from its bright woven textiles and vibrant pink walls, to lava rock molcajetes that top each table. Maria’s Bistro Mexicano“In a vibrant pocket of Brooklyn, locals flock to this timeworn façade for generous portions of fresh, well-priced, and tasty Mexican cuisine. Crisp taquitos de cangrego filled with the perfect balance of sweet crabmeat, salsa verde and crema Mexicana are irresistible while a thick, deliciously tender pork short rib stew named costilla en salsa verde is studded with nopales and served with a mountain of yellow rice and refried black beans for a wonderful finale.” Mexico City native, chef Arturo Leonar, is the man behind this menu and his guacamole-traditional or creative with smoked trout, pico de gallo, and morita chile salsa-is just as pleasing as the setting. From the bar's Mexican tiles to the wall of ceramic butterflies, this room is an explosion of artistic sensibilities. For dinner, try the carne encebollada, a sizzling platter of Creekstone ribeye topped with sweet, melted ramps, meco chiles and smoky bone marrow.”Ĭhavela’s“Look for the light blue dome and wrought-iron doors to enter Chavela's and discover an absolute riot of color inside. Aguachile ceviche arrives wildly fresh, chockablock with tender sea scallops, serrano chiles, and crunchy jicama. Everything on Casa Pública's menu is executed with care, but this kitchen is so talented you should try venturing outside your comfort zone. Here, tequila is a food group of its own. Tucked into a multi-room space boasting floor-to-ceiling windows, an ample bar and gorgeous imported floor tiles, Casa Pública is like a modern-day hacienda filled with well-crafted small plates and dreamy cocktails. A range of other moles include pipian verde that dresses deliciously tender short ribs in a pool of nutty richness.”Ĭasa Pública“This breezy Williamsburg restaurant will transport you to sunny Mexico in a flash. Then, superb tortillas are folded with shredded chicken and draped with dark and luscious mole poblano enriched with cacao, almonds and spices. Memelitas may begin with griddled dough layered with crispy chorizo, vegetables, pinto beans and more. Most dishes here, from enchiladas to tamales, are sure to incorporate their excellent masa. Adding to the lure, the father-son duo delivers their own unique take on Mexican cuisine, which is irresistible at best. Bring a friend, or three, to justify ordering more.”Īmaranto“Named for the staple grain of the Aztecs and emblazoned with a mural of Quetzalcoatl, this tidy but truly caliente restaurant makes its love of its homeland clear from first glance. Like Nawab's creativity at the burner, the menu is seemingly limitless, offering an array of plates you'll want to sample. Other standouts include the oh-so-tender lamb ribs, shellacked in Coca-Cola for that glorious hint of caramel, as well as the meaty fluke ceviche enhanced by habanero and mandarin. Case in point? Crispy skate tacos smothered with smoky salsa and pickled ramps or the pumpkin blossom quesadilla. His creativity is boundless but never veers out of focus. This supremely talented chef takes thoroughly Mexican dishes and shakes them up just enough for a satisfying surprise. Zona G and Chapinero Central to the south and Parque 93 to the north are within walking distance from the center of the Pink Zone.Īccording to my research, I did not find any interesting tourist site in this area.Ĭlub Colombia Avenida 82 No 9-16 T +57 1 249-5681 T +57 1 321-0704.Alta Calidad“What’s in a name? Well, at Akhtar Nawab’s contemporary Mexican restaurant, it’s 'high quality.' Literally. ![]() ![]() The safest stops on Transmilenio would be Héroes and Calle 85, although the streets where they are located can be a bit dubious later in the evening, but it is is always better than Calle 76 on Avenida Caracas. La Pink Zone delimits between streets 79 and 85 and streets 11 and 15. This area is not a dangerous district of BOGOTA. The entire outline of this area is starting to resemble a new, more modern downtown, with tall office buildings. But this area is also home to many high-end restaurants, beautiful hotels and shops. It is the nightclub and bar district of Bogotá. The famous Pink Zone is also known as " Zone T ✿or its geographical T-shaped shape. ![]()
