Chocolatería La Rifa

Some of the best chocolate you can get in CDMX...
Yeah, these are bold words. But then again, this is excellent chocolate!
Mind you, you can get all sorts of chocolate here, but the go-to stuff here is the "classic"-style version (kinda grainy, little to no sugar - basically what you use to make hot chocolate, Mexican style).
Come here, have some of the hot chocolate, try not to overload on the chocolate you buy to bring back and try to replicate on your own.
(Note - it turns out that the version you make at home with this chocolate is *actually* good ????)

If you're a chocolate lover you need to get to La Rifa. We found the place by following our nose as we got into the neighborhood. The scent really carries and is like a big welcome mat. We were greeted with a smile and saw that there is a very organized system to request a drink just the way you want it. You can choose the strength of your chocolate, if you want milk and spices. The preparation is traditional, by hand, and obviously done with much care. The results: delicious hot chocolate which was a joy to drink while watching the scene in the square. We were offered water after we were seated, and just overall the service was top notch. There is also a large selection of chocolate bars, snacks, and other goodies. I will be back here a few more times during our visit to the city.

Delightful hot chocolate made however you want, freshly made cookies and a quiet place. Since Fall is coming, it just makes sense to become acquainted with this place.

Authentic “chocolate caliente” o frío! But absolutely authentic and natural cacao. Located in a cute little roundabout kinda of plaza and service is great! Very cheap Uber drive from zocalo to here!
