Casa Manzano CDMX

Casa Manzano: Author Mexican Cuisine in the Historic Center of CDMX

A gastronomic refuge between history and nature

Casa Manzano is located at Isabel la Católica 67, in the Historic Center of Mexico City. Housed in an old colonial building, the restaurant combines brick walls, abundant vegetation, and contemporary design elements.

Mexican flavors from a contemporary perspective

The author Mexican cuisine defines its culinary proposal. The menu revisits recognizable flavors and preparations from Mexico to work them with modern techniques and presentations. Dishes like the mole duet, the plantain lasagna, and the Aztec cake show the intention of starting from traditional ingredients and references to lead them to a different experience.

Reasons to Visit Casa Manzano

A hidden garden in the heart of the Historic Center

One of its main attractions is the interior garden, surrounded by hanging plants and flowers. The vegetation, the entry of natural light, and the surroundings of the old construction create an atmosphere that contrasts with the outside movement. It is a particularly pleasant space for those looking to enjoy a meal at a leisurely pace without leaving the heart of the city.

Reinterpreted Mexican recipes

The culinary proposal allows recognizing traditional flavors under a contemporary execution. The menu includes preparations like cochinita pibil enfrijoladas, Aztec cake with chicken, Manzano jocoque with agave honey, and, during its season, chile en nogada. This combination between tradition and creativity is one of the traits that best identifies the cuisine of the house.

Architecture with history

The experience is also linked to the building the restaurant occupies. The thick brick walls of the old construction coexist with contemporary decoration and the constant presence of vegetation. Instead of hiding the property's past, the design integrates it into the environment and makes it part of the visit.

Mexican wines and author cocktails

The liquid part complements the proposal with a selection of Mexican wines and author cocktails. Among the most requested drinks are Silvestre, Tropicalito, Martini Manzano, and Fresh Co. This variety allows for accompanying a full meal or simply incorporating different drinks into a gathering among friends or a couple's outing.

Music that transforms the atmosphere

Live music adds another reason to choose specific days. On Saturdays, there is mariachi from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., while on Sundays, the marimba complements the atmosphere from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. These are two different experiences that allow you to discover another facet of Casa Manzano and give a special character to a weekend meal.
