Directions

A true Mexico City legend operating since 1953, El Jarocho is an open-air street-side café serving traditional café de olla and espresso drinks to a constant stream of locals day and night. The experience is entirely unpretentious — you order at the window, grab your cup, and stand on the sidewalk. There's no seating and no Wi-Fi, and that's entirely the point.
