Pujol

Pujol ([puˈʒɔl]) is a Mexican restaurant in Polanco, Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City. It is owned and headed by chef Enrique Olvera. Pujol's dishes are rooted in traditional Mexican cuisine, including maize-based food, seafood, and tacos, served in a sophisticated presentation through tasting menus or a taco omakase bar. Founded in 2000, Pujol initially focused on Asian and American cuisine with only a few Mexican elements. After facing financial difficulties, the restaurant shifted its focus to traditional Mexican fare. The British company William Reed Ltd has consistently ranked Pujol on its list of the World's 50 Best Restaurants since the 2010s. Food critics have given the restaurant mostly favorable reviews; its most iconic dish is mole madre, mole nuevo—a black mole sauce that, by 2022, had been reheated over 2,800 times, with fresh moles regularly added to develop its evolving flavor. The restaurant has also faced complaints regarding workplace harassment. Pujol was awarded two Michelin stars in 2024, in the first Michelin Guide covering restaurants in Mexico, tying with Quintonil—also located in Polanco—for the highest rating in the country.
