    The inner courtyard of the historic and beautiful Casa Azulejos (House of Tiles) is put to good use as a very pleasant restaurant. Locals and tourists alike fill the tables here. The food is fine, well cooked Mexican fare at a reasonable price and a menu wide ranging enough to suit anybody. Good service, good coffee - it may be a chain but they do it all very well, they're open early till late and the setting is gorgeous. Make sure to have a good look around the whole building - there are lovely architectural details to catch your eye everywhere.

    Chilaquiles, soft corn tortillas in green chile sauce smothered with cheese were yummy, spicy enough to be interesting. And I do love my huevos rancheros for brekkie - the ones here were excellent.
    This isn't fine dining by any stretch but Sanborns is a something of a Mexico City institution and they do what they set out to do very well.

    This restaurante is famous for the old building of Tiles - Is very famous and the food is good. The bulding has a long history, it survived a fire.

    Food, normally is Mexican, I recomend you try the "molletes" which are quite traditional of the restaurant and the "enchiladas".

    A font of tranquillity in a pretty hectic area of Mexico City, Sanborn's is a department store that has a restaurant in its centre. It is reminiscent of a Viennese tearoom or the like and serves reasonably priced Mexican food and also cakes.

    The cakes were really nice - they also do a pork enchilada which was very tasty.

    Sanborns is the giant department store chain owned by the wealthiest man in Central America, and Sanborns Cafe is an offshoot of that chain. Often located in the same building as the department store, but also often found by themselves, these places are everywhere in Mexico City. They have a very casual diner-like atmosphere with decent food at decent prices. Nothing spectacular, but they're clean and the you know what you'll get.
