Cerrajería operates as a breakfast and brunch destination within the Brick Hotel in Roma Norte, though it stays open for dinner. The real draw is the chilaquiles de cochinita pibil - shredded slow-cooked pork with a peanut sauce that lifts them above standard versions - and an in-house bakery producing French toast and guava bread that regulars mention specifically by name. The space works: exposed brick, natural light, plants, an open corner to the street. Service has standouts (one server, Myriam, appears in multiple independent accounts) and gaps (slow pacing, wrong orders, one documented instance of hostility). Dinner shows technical ambition that doesn't always land. Reserve ahead for weekend brunch. The coffee misses.
The breakfast is the reason to go, specifically the chilaquiles, whose salsa alone makes the detour worth it. Service can lose its rhythm depending on the shift, so that warmth people talk about is not guaranteed every time
What to order
The chilaquiles de cochinita pibil with peanut sauce. French toast from the bakery is equally consistent.
Reservations
Book in advance, especially for weekend brunch - walk-ins can mean a wait.
Price range
Mid-range. Breakfast and brunch are accessible; dinner costs more.
Vibe
Exposed brick, plants, natural light. Open corner to the street; photogenic but not precious.
