Azul y Oro

Description:

• Normally, you wouldn't head to a college campus for one of the best meals imaginable. But, Azul y Oro is no normal restaurant and its location – Mexico City's UNAM – is no ordinary university. The Autonomous University of Mexico is a World Heritage site and Azul y Oro is the brainchild of Chef Ricardo Muñoz Zurita, the influential author of Dictionary Encyclopedia of Mexican Gastronomy.
  
  The restaurant focuses on"…serving carefully researched and authentic traditional dishes made with very high quality ingredients." Signature dishes include duck in black Oaxacan mole, fish filet Tikin-Xic from Yucatan, and organic hibiscus enchiladas. Frequently held food festivals that focus on individual regions of Mexico expand the offerings. In addition to the haute cuisine menu, the restaurant also serves a comida corrida priced at 50 pesos, which allows even poor students to eat well.
