Pujol ([puˈʒɔl]) is a Mexican cuisine restaurant in Polanco, Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City. The restaurant is owned and headed by chef Enrique Olvera. Pujol's dishes are based on 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 started as a restaurant focused on Asian and American cuisine with a few Mexican elements. After experiencing financial difficulties, the menu was revamped to include more Mexican fare. The British magazine Restaurant has continuously ranked Pujol on its list of the World's 50 Best Restaurants since the 2010s. Food experts have given the restaurant mostly favorable reviews; the most popular dish is mole madre, mole nuevo, a black mole sauce that by 2022 had been reheated more than 2,800 times and to which fresh moles with varying flavors are regularly added. On the negative side, the eatery has received complaints about workplace harassment.
Pujol was awarded two Michelin stars in 2024 in the first Michelin Guide covering restaurants in Mexico, becoming the highest rating in the country, tying with Quintonil, also in Polanco.[2]
