Originally conceived as a recreational area for the Porfiriato aristocracy, the Del Valle neighborhood is known for its abundance of parks and green space. Today, it is home to a large section of the middle class and has more schools per capita than any other zone in the city. And it does not fall short in food options either. Here we recommend a range of distinct restaurants to meet all tastes within this unique locale.
Fonda Margarita
Offering a variety of stews prepared according to traditional recipes for more than 60 years. While the menu changes with seasons, they always have the classic Mexican options you seek throughout the year.
