Chose Barro Negro based on the reviews plus proximity to my hotel. Pretty decor, well translated English menu and positively charming waiter. I started with a chorizo tlayuda which was really good but larger than expected so I ate 1 of 2. Followed by pork with almond mole. WOW! The pork was melting in my mouth and the almond mole was delicioso! Even the frijoles were better than I had ever tasted. The food is Oaxacan but that means nothing to me except that I passed on the crickets which are house specialties. The price was not cheap by Mexican standards but was reasonable and worth every peso.

Horchata, the rice drink with carnation was refreshing. We left as a very happy crew.

I definitely recommend this place, and may pay it another visit myself before departing Mexico City.
