Is Perezoso good for solo dining?
Roma Norte has plenty of spots where dining alone feels like an afterthought, but Perezoso is built for exactly this rhythm. Colectivo Carmelo’s all-day gastrobar offers a warm, wood-and-plants interior where you can comfortably park yourself with a book and a drink. The menu of thoughtful small plates is perfectly scaled for one. It transitions seamlessly from generous midday lunch plates to late-night pizza by the slice, meaning you can drop in at almost any hour without needing a reservation or a group to justify a table.

What locals actually do
Chilangos use all-day spots like Perezoso as transitional spaces. You might arrive late in the afternoon for a quiet solo meal of shared-style plates that you keep entirely to yourself, and inadvertently stay until the evening crowd rolls in for pizza by the slice. It is the kind of casual but deeply considered room where ordering one more round feels natural. After finishing up, locals will often take a short walk to Plaza Río de Janeiro to read, or wander over to Café de Nadie for an impeccably mixed vinyl-accompanied nightcap. The beauty of this corner of Roma Norte is how easily a quick solo bite extends into a full evening out.
Settle in during the late afternoon with a few small plates, then linger long enough to order a late-night slice of pizza and a cocktail as the room shifts into its evening energy.
