El Cambalache
Insurgentes Sur
MXP300-600
M-Su
Close to the corner with Felix Cuevas, Col. Del Valle
One of the city's absolutely best steaks, go here. Some variant of arrachera is bound to be good, also the salads are great. Extensive bar.
La Rural
Insurgentes Sur
MXP300-600
M-Su
Corner with Georgia, Col. Napoles
Rivaling El Cambalache both in quality and price, but with somewhat more swanky service having three or four waiters at your table is not uncommon. Try the arrachera, and the inflated potatoes.
Amalfi
Insurgentes and Viaducto
MXP80-160
M-Fr 1PM-9PM
On the Napoles (south-west) side of the intersection, in the basement
Small and cheap family not that family run Italian place, focused on Adriatic food. Try any of the pastas, the pizza Amalfi, or the medallones mar y monte.
Sushi Bar Miyajima
MXP120-300
M-Th 11AM-11PM, Fr-Sa 11AM-1AM
A block from Insurgentes, behind the Congo dance club, Col. Del Valle
Some of the best sushi in the city, relatively low priced. Try the Luna Maki, or the "Dinamita", a foil-wrapped and baked pile of seafood, cream, and herbs.
