Molino El Pujol.

Nestled in the vibrant Hipódromo Condesa district, Molino El Pujol is a chic culinary sanctuary that celebrates Mexico's profound corn culture.

The Lowdown.

 

This intimate space, designed with polished concrete and white tiled walls, is more than a restaurant - it's a tribute to traditional Mexican gastronomy. With a minimalist six-seat wood counter and limited outdoor seating, the restaurant prioritizes its kitchen as a sacred space of culinary transformation.

The restaurant represents chef Enrique Olvera's commitment to elevating indigenous ingredients, focusing specifically on nixtamalization - an ancient corn preparation technique that unlocks deeper nutritional and flavor profiles. Each dish tells a story of Mexican agricultural heritage, transforming humble ingredients into sophisticated culinary experiences.
