If you’re looking for one of the most original places to eat in Mexico City, Meta Motor Bistro should be on your list. Here, the passion for motorcycles and motorsport doesn’t stay in the workshop or the showroom — it makes it all the way to the plate. The menu is a ride through motor culture, where every dish is named after an icon of two and four wheels. From the Sportster to the Off Road, from the Café Racer to the Gran Prix, eating here feels like plotting your own route… except the destination is always a great bite.
Whether you live in Mexico City (CDMX) or you’re just visiting, this spot in Colonia Verónica Anzures is well worth the trip. Here’s why.
Breakfast and brunch that start the day right
Weekends here smell like fresh coffee and slow Sundays. Two house favorites lead the way: eggs made your way and the croissant with avocado, a creamy-crunchy combo that has become a morning must. If you want variety, there’s something for every craving — hearty chilaquiles, freshly baked molletes (open-faced beans-and-cheese sandwiches), or seasonal fruit for a lighter start. Pair any of them with an americano, a cappuccino, or a latte while you plan the rest of your day. It’s one of the best brunch stops in the neighborhood.
Starters to warm up your engine
Before you hit full throttle, it’s worth warming up with a good starter. Options range from fresh salads to a comforting jugo de carne (beef consommé), a homestyle noodle soup, or creamy guacamole to share while you wait for the main event.
Mains for a champion’s appetite
At lunchtime, two dishes take the podium. The tampiqueña — a Mexican classic of grilled steak served with all the sides — and the chicharrón de ribeye, juicy and full of the flavor only a great cut can deliver. These alone justify the drive to Anzures.
But the menu goes much further. There’s something for every craving: a pepito de arrachera (skirt-steak sandwich), sopes or tacos de cochinita pibil (Yucatán-style slow-roasted pork), milanesa manchega, a burger, and a whole world of tacos — shrimp, arrachera, ahogados (dipped in salsa), or cecina — so you can build your meal your way.
Of course, no Mexican meal is complete without the house salsas, made to add a little adrenaline to every bite: salsa verde, an intense charred-habanero-and-tequila salsa, salsa macha made with dried chiles (no oil, pure essence), and a fresh pico de gallo. There’s a heat level for every palate.
To share, toast, and finish sweet
The after-meal conversation is sacred here, and it’s best enjoyed together. For the table, there are tacos de filete, wings, tequeños, French fries, and melted gouda — perfect for toasting with an ice-cold Mexican beer or whatever you’re in the mood for: soft drinks, coffee, a suero (a refreshing lime-and-salt soda water), or a freshly made limonada or naranjada.
And for the grand finale, save room for dessert. The fig tart is the star — sweet and perfectly balanced — but don’t stop there: a chocolate brownie or a corn pound cake with rompope (Mexican eggnog) is the perfect way to close the experience.
A place for the whole family — and for good taste
Meta Motor Bistro thinks of everyone: there’s a kids’ menu, so the little ones have their place at the table too. And for those who like to stretch out the afternoon, you’ll also find cigars for sale — ideal for wrapping up a great meal among friends, surrounded by engines and good conversation.
