In the Historic Center of Mexico City, in front of the imposing Templo Mayor, stands an architectural jewel of the sixteenth century that not only preserves centuries of history, but also some of the most authentic flavors of Mexican cuisine: La Casa de las Sirenas.
This restaurant, located in a palace dating from 1524, was one of the first plots of land distributed by Hernán Cortés’ cabildo.
The building preserves unique elements, such as original stones from the Mexica pyramids, German stained glass from 1898 and a terrace with one of the best views of the city.
