I liked a lot this place!! I have been told that I should visit and believe me it's worth it! Getting there can be complicated because of the traffic. It is located in a well known neighborhood where you can go to different restaurants. Getting a parking spot was tough to. I would recommend an Uber. The building has this modern mexican style. You can find someone making tortillas. The tables at the garden are really nice. An interior garden in the big city :) Service was a little slow. I guess because they tend to have lots of people for weekend's breakfast. The food is wonderful and really has a twist of usual mexican stuff. They combine tastes. I really enjoyed eveeything! read more

Azul - Tomato salad on the house - Mexican Near Me - México, D.F., DIF

As we drove up, the outside of Azul was lovely and inviting. You walk in, and there is a woman in traditional dress making tricolor (red, blue, white corn) tortillas. The space has beautiful white and blue walls with candles mounted on them. Half the tables are inside, and the others are in a leafy courtyard in the back. Each table was set with a small wooden or coconut shell jicara - a traditional tasting bowl for mezcal. Each menu item noted the area of Mexico from which it stemmed - mainly Veracruz (seafood) or Oaxaca/Puebla (mole dishes). The cocktail menu was interesting as well. Our drinks (a rosado sangria and a Manhattan) we're excellent. Unfortunately, the food did not quite live up to the promise. The black mole enchiladas with chilis and cheese were served barely warmed. The mole was a little too sweet and chocolately, and the cheese inside was not melted at all. The garlic oil shrimp were bland and underwhelming. We ended up deciding to go elsewhere for dessert. The service was good, the space lovely, the food just ok. read more

I'm giving the food here a solid four stars, but not the service. It's one of those places where every single morsel of food is memorable. The venison starter was great, the guacamole was solid, the mackerel entree was delicious and original and the chicken soup was fantastic. Definitely a favorite of locals who all recommended it to me. Good place to go in centro before hitting the monuments with a solid rooftop bar and some nice little shops inside. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant! I visited the Condesa location which is super cute inside, with a patio area full of green! Another location, Azul hístorico, is supposed to be nicer with more beautiful interior decor, but I really liked it at Azul Condesa. The food is delicious if you get the right stuff... Assorted bread basket with high quality butter is Mmm. Horchata is the freshest I've had thus far. Molé... Delicious with a couple different Molé options available. Tamales are decent, but was served in a fancy sauce that was ok. The Mamey mousse dessert was yummm... The service and wait staff is exceptional. It's a high end restaurant that can seem stuffy to some, but for me, was such a pleasure to find in Mexico City when you're tired of the hole in the wall, random street food experience... At one poiny I missed my mouth and dropped a piece of tamale on the side of my chair without even knowing. A waiter caught it and asked to wipe it off for me, discreetly. Sí, Por favor!! Make sure you make reservations! It's not cheap, but it's well worth the visit. read more

Loved it! Food, ambiance and service all great. Also, we enjoyed their Mescal collection. I'm

My review is strictly from a vegetarian point of view. My husband and friend absolutely loved the food they ordered here. However, there are not too many vegetarian options here. Thus, my average rating. I didn't know that chips/salsa/guacamole is a very American thing. So when I sat at Azule, I asked them if they had any chips/salsa or guac. I am sure the waiter was thinking 'Oh these Americans'...lol. But they do have guacamole here, but it comes with grasshoppers. We asked them if they could put the grasshoppers on the side, which they did. This way I was able to eat the guacamole too. They had some vegetarian soup that I had. Unfortunately, their online menu is in Spanish, so I am not sure what it was. If you are a vegetarian, you may not be too excited with the food options here. However, if you are a meat eater, definitely go here and eat your money's worth. read more

Came here for lunch one day and dinner then next. Both times I was super happy with the experience. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The wait staff is supper attentive and on top of everything. Also really nice that they have a sessional menu based on mangos since they are in season on top of there regular menu. read more

The food was good. We had two types of mole and both were great. The ambience and atmosphere of the place are perfect Unfortunately our waitress was very clumsy always in our way and forgetting things that we ordered. At the end we just wanted to leave. Prices are ok. We paid about $70 for two people with only one glass of wine It was a place to go only once. Will not come back. There are many other options where people is more friendly read more

We were told there would be a 45 minute wait (worth it!) so we went next door to La Xampa and grabbed a drink. Dining at Azul is akin to having a meal in a green house - minus the temperature. The food was beautiful and incredible - I started with this hibiscus soup and then ordered shrimp... (bear with me this was back in Feb)... something taco-like with olives and raisins, and it was great. We finished it off with Mexican hot chocolate. And the mezcal to start was so smooth and the best introduction to Mexico City we could've asked for. read more

This was recommended by Martha Stewart (shrimp dish), Bon Apetit (hibiscus flower enchiladas), and 3 Perfect Days (chile en nogada). With three recommendations, and three different dishes to order, I knew I had to try it. The place was smaller than I expected so I guess I was lucky to get the reservation. Our waiter's English was just ok and we managed to order. The best dish was the main I ordered: Shrimp Pipian. The shrimp were perfectly done and the sauce was the perfect consistency and flavorful. My friend also liked her dish. I was very good! We were adventurous and ordered a Mexican dessert and were not enamored (cubes of something in a chocolate sauce). The two appetizers we ordered were non memorable (ceviche and some lettuce thing). At the end they were great about getting me to my driver who was ordered from my hotel. read more

Ambiance was great with a second level with indoor seating connected to the outside. Servers were respectful. Drinks were amazing with great flavor. Our entrees were interesting, but the cohesiveness and balance of the flavors was questionable for some dishes. Their sauces and tortillas were great, but the highlight of all the dishes was the tortilla soup. The soup alone could fill you up and make anyone's day. read more

Are here on a ladies trip to Mexico City in mid-October 2022. Beautiful restaurant, good service, nice wine and cocktail options. The food was so so. I had the chicken mole - the sauce was super sweet, which I am not used to with a mole, and it was just too much. Also, it was served with the smallest piece of chicken ever, literally 3-4 bites worth of chicken, so not filling at all. I also had the vegan squash dish - the sauce was very good, but it was served with just 6 pieces of bite-sized squash in it. That's it! Just 6 bites of squash. So again, not filling at all. I likely wont go back in my next trip. read more

A fantastic place to have a great Mexican breakfast, brunch, or lunch. I am sure the dinner here must also be fantastic, but I have only come during the day. The place is small. Expect to be tight, and if many tables are full then background noise will escalate. This is a problem with most restaurants which (like this one) used to be a house and was converted into a restaurant layout. It was done in a creative and visually pleasing way with Azul Condesa, just a little too cozy. The food: delicious. Mexican elaborate cuisine, is how I would describe it. The ingredients are fresh and the preparation is out of this world. Decoration and ambiance: beautiful decorations, if anything I wish the place was not as tight to give it five stars. Location: at the heart of Condesa, it is very easy to get here. There is no parking but they do have valet parking. I always wonder where the valet parks the cars, though. My guess is it is on the street. :) There is also an Eco-Bici stand less than 100 mts. from the door. I'm a fan of travelling on two wheels. read more

Azul was a delight! First of all, the service was impeccable. All I can say is that it was the best service we've had in Mexico. The wait staff was attentive, cheerful, knowledgeable. They anticipated our needs and made great suggestions. Not pushy in the least. But the food! Wow. My wife and I each had different Moles. I had one made with vegetable ash which was not very spicy. The flavor was incredible. Earthy and a little sweet, but deeply complex. My wife had the traditional (legendary) Oaxacan Black Mole and she said it was the best she's ever had. She is a real Mole fan and gets it almost everywhere. I had lamb with my Mole and she had chicken breast. We also shared a nice bottle of Mexican wine -- Casa Madero Merlot. Not too expensive -- complemented the Moles nicely. Before dinner, we had some sherry, which unexpectedly went perfectly with the shrimp soup every diner gets when they sit down. No -- I didn't have mezcal. I'm kind of mezcal'ed out. I've come to realize that it's not my favorite and I'm moving on. Definitely coming back to Azul to try the other five Moles! You should as well. read more

We were so very pleased to be able to get a table on short notice. We arrived around 5:30 After calling and finding out no tables available after 7:30ish, no problem for us and worked out great. Service was outstanding and top notch, from the fresh tortillas to the ant eggs appetizer and amazing desserts. You will not be disappointed and I can't reccomend this restaurant highly enough. read more

Incredible food and atmosphere. Make sure to try stuff from the chef menu. We had the Mole negro de mi abuela and the Chile relleno with a shot of Mezcal. Felt like I was in heaven. read more

This was my first stop in Mexico City period got in mid-afternoon and wanted to walk the Condesa neighborhood. Got a little peckish so I wandered in. First I have to commend them on their covid safety protocols. Not only are they following the standards for staff masks & face shields, taking temperatures and offering hand sanitizer, table spacing and open air circulation were excellent. A paper bag was provided for my mask, napkins came from a lidded box and silverware was handled by a gloved attendant. I tried their signature buñuelos and the guacamole con chicharrones, with a glass of white wine. The guacamole was creamy with just enough spice to make it interesting. The chicharrones were fried to perfection and very lightly salted. The buñuelos sat on a bed of thinly sliced zucchini interspersed with blackberries. Oaxacan mole negro was poured over the dish, and another cup provided. I am a self confessed mole snob, and this did not disappoint. It hit all the right notes of sweet, savory, and spicy, and was the perfect compliment for the crisp fritters stuffed with rich duck meat. It's easy to understand why this is their signature dish, it's exceptional. I don't remember what kind of white wine I had (not Chardonnay I know that), I can only say it was appropriate to the meal which was enjoyable from start to finish. I will be back. read more

This is a really great Mexican fine dining establishment. I loved the attention to detail from the service (provided little coat racks to each table, kept checking on our table, individually served us our tacos, etc). The ambiance was beautiful, from the ceramic dishes to the indoor lush greenery. The food however, was not all good. We really enjoyed the guacamole (with grasshopper on the side!), the duck mole negros, and the beef tenderloin with an alternate mole sauce. I usually don't like the taste of mole that much but the sauce here is REALLY good. Our other dishes were not very memorable: the tacos de lechon (dry meat) and the grouper. Be warned, the portions are those of an upscale establishment as in very small. We got a molten lava cake (pretty good) and drinking chocolate for dessert, which they prepare at a cart at your table in a lovely mixing demonstration. With 2 apps, 4 entrees, 6 drinks, and 2 desserts, the total was about $200 USD for 4 people. read more

3.5stars actually. I rounded it up to 4stars on the rating b/c I give the restaurant props on their service. I loved the mezcal tasting to help me choose something that I would like. I also liked the spicy orange pieces that came with the mezcal drink. The hibiscus enchilada was average. It was an interesting flavor with the hibiscus. The tomato based sauce with cream and cheese wasn't too special, but still not too bad either. The other dish I tried was the verde sauce shrimp (pipian verde papanteco camarones). The verde sauce was pretty bland. The shrimp was just average. I felt that it was a bit overcooked. Not too much that it was so rubbery, but still overcooked. The service was probably the best part of the meal. read more

The place was beautiful, tortilla soup was delicious. That I will not deny, but the mole was way too sweet and service was not impressive at all...especially for what the prices are. They took a long time to bring the food and a long time time to bring the check. We even had to ask our server twice. I didn't like that there were flies flying around since there are no windows, just plastic curtains. Would only go back to get some soup to go. read more

We managed to get a table after a not-too-long wait. The location is convenient and the setup is very cool - the restaurant is in what likely used to be a courtyard. Tacos are great + they have a really good tortilla soup. Would love to revisit when I'm in the city again. read more

Delicious food, wonderful setting and great setting. I am definitely coming back on my next visit to the City!

This was such an enchanting restaurant. The service was impeccable, the decor was beautiful, and the food was really delicious. We started with the guacamole garnishes with grasshoppers. I have never had grasshoppers before and the crunchy texture worked well with the guacamole. I ordered the enchiladas with mole and also tried the sweeter mole with chicken. It was so good. I have never had mole delicious like that! The hibiscus margarita was so fresh and different. I would highly recommend this experience. read more
