This is one of the best ice cream places i've been to (and i lived in Rome for many years so i know my standards!). Have a try at the coffee, mamey, banana, zapote negro to start with!

Simply one of the best tacos in town - no reservation, sometimes quite a queue but it is a quick eatery and very very much a favourite. Don't miss out the Jugo de Carne and Ganoa - superb meat

Probably one of the top places for brunch or breakfast in general. No booking and usually a queue but a no miss no matter what. Try to get there before 10am to avoid over 45 minutes long queue.

Going more towards the high-end restaurants - same co-owner of the CONTRAMAR, this is a beautiful restaurant serving food from Baja California. Pricey but worth it!

This is a very pleasant bar/restaurant in Roma and barely 15 minutes walk or a 'trolly bus' hop away (from Sonora). Love the atmosphere and the food - the latest addition to the cool PARNITA tacos place on the ground floor.
