A taste of Mexico and beyond: Blanco Castelar

Traveling is one of my favorite things in life. Away from what I’m familiar with, I’m awarded the rare opportunity to rejuvenate and unwind, free of any stressful and unwanted thoughts. Immersing myself in a foreign culture is a plus too, and what better way to do so than by experiencing the best food a locality has to offer.

In Mexico City, Blanco Castelar is one to not miss out on.

Blanco Castelar is located at Casa Domit on Emilio Castelar Street. It is a Californian-style building designed by architect Shafick Kaim in 1939.

A taste of Mexico and beyond, this restaurant is a gastronomic jewel that prides itself on its Mexican-European fusion cuisine.
