Why go
50 Friends is a practical Condesa pick for an easy, later dinner when flexibility matters more than a food-led destination reservation. Book it for a casual social night in Mexico City; cross-shop Tacos Don Juan, Baldio, or Azul Condesa if value, defined Mexican cooking, or a clearer neighborhood brief matters more.
About 50 Friends
50 Friends is a Mexico City venue with casual dress and afternoon-to-late-evening hours. Use it as a direct option when your plans call for a relaxed time window rather than a heavily researched destination.
The safest way to plan around 50 Friends is to rely on what is known: it is in Mexico City, the dress code is casual, and hours run from 1 PM to 11 PM Monday through Wednesday and Sunday, and from 1 PM to 12 AM Thursday through Saturday. For travelers building a broader Mexico City schedule, pair this with more targeted research in Our full Mexico City restaurants guide.
Use it for Mexico City convenience, not a once-per-trip anchor
The case for considering 50 Friends is practical: it has casual dress and hours that extend into the evening every day, with later closing Thursday through Saturday. The case for caution is also clear: there are no details here for cuisine, chef, awards, price range, menu format, or signature dishes, so it should not be framed as a food-led destination.
If the goal is a tighter itinerary, compare it against other Mexico City options before committing. Tacos Don Juan, Baldio, Azul Condesa, Ardente, and Capicua are natural names to cross-check alongside 50 Friends, depending on what kind of stop you want to prioritize. For broader planning, check Our full Mexico City bars guide and Our full Mexico City hotels guide around the same evening.
Good for flexible explorers, less strong for detail-driven planners
50 Friends is easiest to evaluate as a casual Mexico City option with hours you can count on, not as a venue with a documented specialty. That makes it more useful for flexible plans than for people who need confirmed cuisine, pricing, dietary information, or a particular service style before choosing.
For itinerary builders, additional Mexico City research may be more valuable than forcing this into the center of the trip. Compare 50 Friends with Ardente, Azul Condesa, Baldio, Capicua, and Tacos Don Juan, then decide based on the details you can confirm directly for the date you plan to go.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
50 Friends reads like a neighborhood pizzeria embedded in Condesa's low‑rise, tree‑shaded streets. The description emphasizes an everyday, residential rhythm: lighting, pace and noise that mirror the surrounding block rather than stage a spectacle. That approach makes the room feel relaxed and unpretentious, favoring social dining over performance. Guests encounter a cozy, charming atmosphere where regulars, local families and long‑term residents fold into weekend afternoons, and the kitchen aligns with that sensibility—approachable Italian pizza served in a setting that privileges familiarity and ease over theatrical ambition.
Best For
50 Friends is best for casual hangouts, late‑night pizza runs and family outings rather than formal, reservation‑only tasting menus. The write‑up places the restaurant within Condesa’s everyday life—popular with local families, long‑term expats and repeat visitors—so it suits diners who want an unpretentious meal in a social, conversational room. Travelers who prefer neighborhood rhythm to destination fine dining will find it comfortable, and small groups or solo visitors looking for straightforward Italian pizza fit the profile particularly well.
Ordering Tips
Keep the focus on pizza: the venue’s signature plates are the Pizza Margherita, Pizza Capricciosa and Pizza del Mate, so those are the natural starting points. The neighborhood context suggests arriving during popular weekend afternoons or evenings when the street life is active, and to expect a measured, neighborhood pace of service. Begin with a classic Margherita to assess the dough and sauce, then move to a more elaborate pie like the Capricciosa or the house specialty, the Pizza del Mate.
