Buenavista, Mexican restaurant in Mexico City, Mexico
Buenavista is a Mexican restaurant in Mexico City arranged across two floors with several separate dining areas. The space combines an indoor section and an outdoor terrace, so guests can choose how they want to sit.
The restaurant opened in the early 1990s, at a time when traditional regional cooking was becoming harder to find in the capital. Over the years it built a following among diners looking for food tied to the country's older cooking traditions.
The menu brings together dishes from several Mexican states, each prepared according to its own regional tradition. Sitting at the table, guests can follow the origin of each dish through the descriptions on the menu.
The restaurant is close to public transport stops and easy to reach on foot from several parts of the city. Arriving a little early during the busiest midday and early evening hours is a good idea, as the dining room fills up quickly.
Tortillas here are made fresh throughout service using a stone grinding method that has been passed down over generations. The process takes place in view of the dining room, so guests can watch it directly.
