Molino El Pujol

This small spot in La Condesa feels like a chic neighborhood place with polished concrete and white tiled walls. It saves most of its precious real estate for the kitchen though there is a wood counter with six seats along with an additional handful of seats outside. The concise menu is focused on items made from corn nixtamalized daily on-site (think tamales, tacos, chilaquiles, and enfrijoladas). There are also items to take home like the excellent tortillas—grab them warm if you are lucky. The tamal de calabaza is a freshly steamed orb of flavorful yellow masa studded with bits of tender pumpkin and plated with a petite salad dressed with candied pumpkin seeds.
