    our most favorite meal in CDMX (we liked some dishes even more than Pujol, which was great in its own way). standouts: avocado seed ice creamcactus sorbet with salt. the "salbut".

    If you don't get an reservation for dinner, come for lunch. Make sure to have them open the roof canvas for you for the beautiful weather. Recommend their tasting menu. Love their complimentary coffee

    Absolutely wonderful. Every bite of food burst with flavor. The peanut bread was amazing. Don't miss the Cazuela de chocolate con helado de pinole for dessert. On my short list of world favorites.

    Get the tasting menu. We missed it and came right before the kitchen closed, but we're able to get many of the plates off a la carte. The taste of Mexico is certainly exquisite in this restaurant.

    We had 930 booking so ordered a la carte so not to be rushed. It didn’t leave us wanting. Highlights- sublime crab tostada, avocado tartare, cheesy rice w ant chorizo, and panna cotte to die for.

    Amazing! Small and intimate establishment with fantastic food. High attention to detail, and small handcrafted menu. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great meal and experience.

    I don't get why people think this place is good. I thought I know good food and went to several other amazing restaurants in this city. But only 1 out of 5 dishes I thought actually tasted good.

    Holy crap. The crab tostada is literally the best. Not on the prie fixe but on the ala carte menu. Also the soursop dessert was probably the best dessert I’ve ever had.

    Honestly, just okay. For $450 USD for the tasting menu + wine for two people, you could get a much better Michelín Star experience elsewhere. The tasting menu was lacking inspiration with no surprises

    This beautiful and incredible cactus ceviche with beet root and orange took my taste buds to a whole new journey. Order this before the main course!

    Fish, tongue and squash are great dishes. Don't miss the chocolate rice and mango desserts. We ordered 3 desserts, but they brought us a 4th with a candle for a birthday and charged us for it...odd.

    So unimpressed. Had avocado tartar, oyster mushroom app, beef shoulder, squash with mole. Didn't like any. Presentation was pretty but that's about it. Dessert was good, but not mind blowing.

    Although practically all dishes are very good, the tasting menu is ideal to learn a little bit about the many flavors and textures of Mexican cuisine. Not for children under 12 and closes on Sundays.

    All the food here amazing! They brought us different dishes and one was better than the other. The service was great too, they explain what each thing was and kept coming back to serve us more water.

    At this Polanco hotspot, chef Jorge Vallejo’s delicate dishes look like floral arrangements. Fried huauzontle is served with cheese from Chiapas; chilacayote squash is drizzled with mole.
