Description:
Step under the pinkish awning hanging in front of Café el Popular and enter 1940s Mexico City. El Popular fits into the Zócalo's nightlife ecosystem as a 24-hour cafeteria that is the perfect spot to sober up with a greasy hot breakfast at 3:00 am.
Pastries displayed in glass window cases are just right for dunking into steaming hot cups of café con leche, the milky Mexican coffee drink – ask for pan dulce if you've got a sweet tooth. Inexpensive, everyday Mexican food is served at El Popular and you can't go wrong by choosing red or green chilequiles, the precursor of Tex-Mex nachos.
Breakfasts are also served in combination packages: juice, coffee, eggs, and tortillas or toast cost around MX$60/US$5. No matter what time of night you arrive at the restaurant you won't be alone.
El Popular is close to La Blanca restaurant and Holiday Inn Mexico City Zócalo.
