About Pujol

Pujol remains the reference point for contemporary Mexican fine dining because its signatures still have force. Enrique Olvera's kitchen treats corn, moles, herbs, seafood, and insects as high cuisine without stripping away their identity, and the famous mole madre is more than a photographable idea when the seasoning is right. The Polanco house is elegant but not stiff, with the taco omakase offering a looser counterpoint to the tasting menu. Two Michelin stars formalized a reputation the restaurant had carried globally for years.
