Los Sifones, Mexican restaurant in Coyoacán, Mexico.
Los Sifones is a Mexican restaurant on Avenida División del Norte in Coyoacán, Mexico City, known for traditional tacos such as bistec, short rib, and al pastor. The menu also features regional soups and house-made drinks served alongside the food.
The restaurant opened in 1967 and has kept most of its original recipes since then. Over the years it has adopted some modern kitchen practices, but the core of the menu has stayed the same.
The name of this place comes from the house-made fresh drinks prepared on-site every day. Visitors can watch staff make these traditional beverages right behind the counter, which gives the spot its own personality.
The restaurant sits on a busy main road and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport. It tends to fill up at lunchtime and on weekends, so going at off-peak hours can make the visit more comfortable.
The Caldo Xóchitl served here follows a family recipe passed down through generations, which makes it different from versions found elsewhere. This broth is one of the harder dishes to track down in the city and is worth trying if you visit.
