Best Authentic Restaurants in Satelite / Naucalpan / Lomas Verdes

The food was outstanding and the server was very friendly and his recommendations were spot on.

Excellent! Really fantastic MX restaurant in Polanco! Absolutely loved it and would certainly return!

I had read about Restaurante Nicos several years ago. Finally my husband & I ate dinner there during our most recent trip to Mexico City. The food & the service were amazing…in fact, our waitress was the most genuinely warm, helpful, & attentive waitress that we have encountered on our 2-weeks trip to CDMX!! The whole experience was definitely worth the drive, as the restaurant is a bit out of the way.

We had such a good time here! Loved the music, the bartenders were on point, drinks were fabulous, and ambience was great. Very fun experience

Asai Kaiseki is the real deal. Commanded by the meticulous Itamae Asai, this isn’t some slapdash sushi joint slathering rolls in cream cheese and eel sauce. This is precision. This is heritage. This is one of the top three Japanese restaurants in the city, if not the best. The sushi? Impeccable. They’ve switched to koshihikari rice for their shari, and it makes all the difference, each nigiri elevated, clean, perfectly seasoned. But what truly sets Asai apart is the way it weaves Mexico into its Japanese foundation, not as a gimmick, but with finesse. Take the nopal (cacti) nigiri, for instance—a dish that embodies respect for both traditions without veering into fusion for fusion’s sake. But if you really want to understand what Asai Kaiseki is about, go for the kaiseki experience. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a journey. Course after course, unfolding like a perfectly timed symphony—seasonal, balanced, and deeply rooted in Japanese culinary philosophy. Omakase is also an option here, and it’s equally worth surrendering yourself to the chef’s expertise. This is where you come for real Japanese cuisine in Mexico City. No shortcuts, no theatrics—just craftsmanship, discipline, and a deep respect for the food.
