Our house guest Al said that he had a craving for a pastrami sandwich, and he wondered if there were any good delicatessens here. Well, Mexico City is definitely a cosmopolitan city, especially when it comes to restaurants. In the Condesa neighborhood there is a delicatessen called Mendl that gets good reviews. So, after Saturday's parade, we went there for lunch. The restaurant is very attractive with a lush, garden setting that is not exactly what one what expect from a deli.

Alejandro and I both ordered the matzoh ball soup, and although we are not experts on Jewish cuisine, we both thought that it was very tasty.
Both of us also ordered Reuben sandwiches which were also very good.
We probably wouldn't go to Condesa just to eat there, but if we are in that neighborhood, and looking for a place to eat, it is definitely a very good option for a change of pace.
