Scanned: 2026-10-14 (Provisional: the action test and the assistant citation check still to come; the hatched part of the bar is not measured yet.)
Bar Mexicana is ready for agents.
An AI assistant can open the website of Bar Mexicana. It can read what Bar Mexicana offers. To book or order, it is sent to OpenTable, a marketplace.

## Direct links
- Order directly: https://www.barmexicananyc.com/delivery/ (on the business's own site)
- Menu: https://www.barmexicananyc.com/menus/
- Phone: +1-917-914-7037

## What to fix first
- **Booking only through opentable.** (no points, still worth doing) Every agent transaction goes through the marketplace and its commission. Add a direct path on your own site, even a simple form. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, still worth doing) Optional today, cheap to add: a short text file describing the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

llms.txt. Save as /llms.txt at the root of the site.
