Mexico City, Mexico: El Morrel, Coyoacan; restaurant review

sopes at El Morrel restaurant in Mexico City

El Morrel  

Allende 2, Colonia de Carmen, in Coyoacán, 5554-02-98. 

Serving traditional Mexican food for more than 30 years, the family-run fonda El Morrel has comfortable seating in a spacious dining room where a woman is often visible making tortillas by hand.  Traditional items include masa sopes, molletes (like open-face melted cheese sandwiches), and sometimes the spectacular chiles en nogada.  Meals begin with a complimentary little nopales (cactus) salad, and delicious fresh-fruit aguas fresca are available in two sizes.  When we left, we were each given a pottery ash tray as a memento.

More ideas for exploring Canada and Mexico.
