Fodor's Expert Review Azul Condesa
When it comes to authentic Mexican food, chef and food historian Ricardo Muñoz Zurita literally wrote the book with his Diccionario Enciclopédico de la Gastronomía Mexicana (Encyclopedia of Mexican Food). Here in his art-filled, elegant Condesa restaurant, you can sample some of his superb regional Mexican dishes, such as beef drizzled in a smoky Oaxacan mole that takes three days to make, Veracruz-style fish, or ancient Mayan dishes from the Yucatán. In addition, there is always a seasonal menu highlighting cuisine from a different state of Mexico, with recipes by some of that state's star chefs, as well as Muñoz. Azul has additional locations in El Centro as well as on the campus of UNAM in Ciudad Universitaria.
