    This restaurant is located in the 6th floor and was my favorite meal of my trip. It's a bit pricy…read more(upscale US priced) but it's fine dining, sit down service and has a great view of the plaza below. We did not have reservations but came early. We were not sat on the patio as those seats were all taken by reservations but we were able to walk out and take a picture of the plaza below. I chose the pulpo adobado. Grilled octopus, a spicy avocado sauce and biryani rice. The octopus was nicely charred and the creamy avocado sauce went well with the charred octopus. The octopus was grilled perfectly it had a nice char outside and was tender inside. I tried a bit of my friends Chamorro de Verdi (pork shank) in mole sauce. The pork shank was braised beautifully and fall off the bone tender. The mole sauce was flavorful and not overly sweet. The portion was also huge. The meal came with bread accompanied with 2 types of butter regular and a coco infused butter. Both had salt on the side which added a bit of flare to it. I preferred the regular butter but enjoyed trying the chocolate one, it reminded me more of a breakfast pastry or a dessert. Overall great meal, service, ambiance and nice view.

    This place has been on my radar for quite some time the first couple of times I've been to CDMX…read more While the place isn't hard to find, it'd help if more signs were around (especially for tourists). I ordered chilaquiles verdes with arrachera 8/10 because the food came out lukewarm--if THAT! Service sucked 4/10- I felt like because I was a "foreigner" attention wasn't given to me at complete capacity, I'm native to Mexico even if I don't look it. The food runners gave better service & attention than the actual waiter. I would've liked to sit closer to the overview of El Zocalo but at least photo opportunities were available. I expected better from this place & maybe a revisit will enhance the rating experience. Ambiance 10/10 because it is beautiful & gorgeously decorated all over; everything else could be elevated!
