Background
About Cutzamala
The Story
Cutzamala Mex Food has cooked regional Mexican food inside Mercado de Antón Martín, in Lavapiés, since 2014. It leans into recipes, moles and slow-cooked guisos that don't often turn up outside Mexico, cooked with time and real produce.
The Cuisine
Artisanal, regional Mexican cooking: moles, traditional guisos and specialities rarely found outside Mexico, prepared slowly with proper produce.
From the carta
The carta changes with the season and the market. The house guacamole (€12), its signature for more than ten years, comes with homemade totopos. Specialities include the best-selling birriamen, fresh ramen in beef birria broth with cheddar (€17), quesabirria with a cup of broth (€17), Mayan chilaquiles with cochinita pibil (€17), chipotle ribs (€22.50) and a Guadalajara torta ahogada for those who like heat (€16.50). Tacos of carnitas or cochinita pibil come four to a plate (€13.50), and there's a rotating plato del día, such as Colima's sweet enchiladas. It also cooks less common dishes like atapakuas and corundas.

A casual, rustic market kitchen inside the Mercado de Antón Martín, where the cooking is traditional and unhurried: tomatoes and chiles charred for the salsas, and many dishes that take hours.

Nearby
Lavapiés is a steeply layered corner of central Madrid, a tight grid of narrow streets where the cooking comes from everywhere at once. The rooms are small, the prices are honest, and the good ones fill with regulars rather than reservations. Museo Reina Sofía and CaixaForum Madrid sit uphill from it, El Rastro at the bottom.
