Restaurante Cerrojo Zócalo

Contemporary Mexican restaurant on the second floor of the Centro Joyero building, directly facing the Zócalo. The entrance is through a jewelry shop on Monte de Piedad, where street-level staff may redirect you to a different rooftop — head straight upstairs to the first floor (segundo piso) for Cerrojo.

The menu runs from breakfast through dinner, with standout dishes including the café de olla and the nube rosa dessert. Balcony tables overlook the historic plaza. Open daily from 8:30am, and priced easy on the wallet for the location and views.
