Paquime Street Food Of Mexico is a restaurant in Mexico City’s up-and-coming Roma Norte neighborhood.
Paquime is the name of one of the most important pre-Hispanic settlements in northern Mexico, but the food here doesn’t have anything to do with ancient Mexican cuisine.
The restaurant’s name has much to do with its location – in the streets of a gentrifying neighborhood that has doubled as a trendy hipster hangout.
What is Paquime Street Food Of Mexico?
Paquime takes its inspiration from local street food, especially hamburguesa – a sandwich consisting of fried meat (usually beef or pork), lettuce, and tomato served on a roll. Paquime offers many variations on the theme, including vegetarian burgers.
One of our favorites is the Pambazos burger ($31), which combines ground beef and chorizo with lettuce, tomato, queso fresco cheese, chipotle sauce, and a fried egg.
The bacon and egg sandwich ($29) is also great. We also ordered the Paquime burger – a hamburger with bacon, cheese, tomato, and lettuce on a brioche bun ($27). The meat was good, but the bun was too dry.
