Condesa landmark from chef Jair Téllez - the definitive Baja California kitchen in CDMX, since 2010. MeroToro is chef Jair Téllez's Condesa outpost - opened in 2010 with restaurateurs Gabriela Cámara and Pablo Bueno (of Contramar), it's been CDMX's definitive Baja California restaurant ever since. Téllez, formerly of Laja in Ensenada, imports the peninsula's surf-and-turf sensibility: rustic yet refined, with premium Pacific seafood, Valle de Guadalupe wine focus, and mains balancing meat and fish. Expect dishes like tostada de ceviche, jaiba suave rebozada, arroz cremoso con camarón, rabo de res braseado, grilled octopus, and a standout camembert cheesecake. On a tree-lined stretch of Amsterdam in Hipódromo, with a breezy terrace and an intimate indoor dining room that spans two floors. Michelin Recommended; on the Latin America's 50 Best extended list. Book ahead for weekends. MeroToro is listed in the 2026 Michelin Guide, reflecting chef Jair Téllez's long-running reputation for bringing Baja California's surf-and-turf, Valle de Guadalupe-driven wine style to Condesa since 2012.
