La Casa del Pan Papalotl

Coyoacán & San Ángel


This hugely popular vegetarian restaurant draws a loyal breakfast crowd thanks to its organic egg dishes, chilaquiles (tortilla strips drenched in salsa) and fresh-made pan (bread). For lunch the lasagna with squash flowers, mushrooms and poblano chili is a big hit.
