Great Tuesday late lunch or early dinner with my family in Mexico City, Polanco district, I chose this place over all the other options around, because of the concept, nice appetizers “botanas”, everything goes in the center for all to enjoy, we ordered over 8 different options, all of them delicious, the duck tacos were AMAZING, the queso con chistorra delicious, Chamorro tacos, el jefe tacos, all of them highly recommended.

Impressive. Food, service, and decor all exceed our expectations. Fresh guacamole topped with chucks of ribeye and served with tortillas? Heck yes! The 3 salsas, our salad, and dessert were all excellent. Drinks were average. Pricing was a bit high, but I'd do it again based on our experience.

Truly walked away impressed by this fine Mexican dining restaurant. The food is great (I can't remember what we order, since a local friend ordered for us), but the meal was excellent and the drinks were good too. Only reason I do not give this place 5-stars is because they allowed a couple sitting in the middle of the restaurant to smoke their filthy cigarets indoors and ruin the experience for the rest of us. Other than that, this place is great!

The portions are really off. For example, they give you four types of dip but serve about 8 tortilla chips with them. They also give you about 10 tortillas with the chicharrón tacos, but not enough filling to fill five. However, their happy hour is amazing. We did t realize it, but drinks were 2-for-1, which was a pleasant surprise.

Every staff member we interacted with was incredibly polite and helpful. We let Abraham choose our meal and he treated us so well, the food was so delicious. My only regret is that we are leaving tomorrow and can’t come again. Atmosphere is perfect, thank you Ofelia!
