    Tortilla soup
    Amy Y.

    We had a lovely dinner here. The food was mostly pretty good, & the presentation took it over the top. The tortilla soup is served in a Catrina & looks just beautiful. If you do the mezcal hot chocolate, it's served tableside. All the desserts were pretty spectacular, but I especially liked the tiramisu. The service was good, although my friend commented she felt a bit rushed, as they come to check on you often. Would recommend this place for a nicer dinner in Condessa.

    For someone who is not crazy about Mexico food, I'm actually a fan of this restaurant. The food presentation is exquisite and tastes great for the dishes I tried so far. The atmosphere is 5 stars .

    Azul Condesa is a high-end restaurant featuring dishes from all over Mexico. Each menu item had an indication of the state of origin, and it's clear that this restaurant puts emphasis on quality ingredients and traditional ingredients and preparations. We started with the Heirloom Tomato Salad, made of chopped tomatoes, lettuces, sheep's cheese, and an olive oil dressing. This would have been a great dish, except that the tomatoes weren't actually in season (during my visit) and were less than ripe. One of their signature creations was the Buñuelos Rellenos con Pato Confitado, which were deep-fried wonton-like dumplings filled with a tender duck confit, and served with Oaxacan black mole. The pastry was nice and crispy, and the duck confit was super flavorful, so I didn't see the need for the mole (though that was delicious by itself!). The Pescado Tikin Xic was a Yucatán fish fillet grilled with annato seed, which added a nice charred red finish; and the Huachinango a la Veracruzana was a red snapper fillet in a Veracruz-style tomato sauce with capers and prunes. But my favorite dish of all was the Legendary Mole Negro from Oaxaca, a thick, dark, black, sweet, savory, chocolatey, nutty sauce with a complex mix of flavors. The mole was served with a piece of tender boneless "milk-fed baby chicken". The meat with sauce was perfect for wrapping up in their fresh, chewy homemade tortillas, which were imprinted with colorful designs! Overall, the food here was delicious and artfully prepared, but the prices were certainly high for the small portion sizes.

    Still Worth Visiting, But Showing Some Cracks Azul Condesa remains a beloved spot for regional Mexican cuisine, nestled in the heart of Condesa. This was our fifth visit, and while still enjoyable, it didn't quite match the consistency we've come to expect. We started with sparkling water and lemon, followed by a complimentary corn tart with spicy tomato sauce--flimsy in texture but flavorful with a nice kick. The guacamole was silky-smooth, paired with perfectly crunchy chips--though the portion was surprisingly small; our follow-up order came with only four chips. We then had tacos de cochinita pibil, filled with beans and egg and topped with pickled onions. They were flavorful but lukewarm, greasier than usual, and not as fresh-tasting as on past visits. Later, the tacos de lechón arrived--rich and satisfying, but oddly, not wrapped in a leaf as they've consistently been in the past. For dessert, we had vanilla and chocolate ice cream--well presented but visibly melted, likely from sitting too long. Tasty, but not memorable. The accompanying sauces were bold but leaned very spicy, with no mild alternatives. Service felt rushed, with silverware changed mid-bite and a push to move things along. The crowd was mostly upscale Mexican locals, adding a polished vibe. The total came to USD $78 with tip--not surprising for the setting, but it didn't quite feel commensurate with this particular visit. #AzulCondesa #CDMXEats #CochinitaPibil #TacosDeLechón #GuacamoleLovers #ComidaMexicana #MexicoCityEats #CondesaFoodScene #SpicyFlavors #FoodReview Aún Vale la Pena, Pero con Algunos Detalles Azul Condesa sigue siendo un favorito para disfrutar la cocina regional mexicana, ubicado en el corazón de la Condesa. Esta fue nuestra quinta visita y, aunque placentera, no tuvo la misma consistencia de ocasiones anteriores. Comenzamos con agua mineral con limón, seguida de una tartaleta de maíz con salsa de jitomate picante--floja en textura, pero sabrosa y con un buen toque de picante. El guacamole estaba muy cremoso y acompañado de totopos crujientes, aunque en poca cantidad; en una segunda porción nos sirvieron apenas cuatro. Después llegaron los tacos de cochinita pibil, rellenos de frijoles y huevo, cubiertos con cebolla encurtida. Aunque sabrosos, estaban tibios, más grasosos de lo habitual y no tan frescos como en otras ocasiones. Más tarde llegaron los tacos de lechón--ricos y satisfactorios, aunque esta vez no venían envueltos en hoja, como solía ser. De postre pedimos helado de vainilla y chocolate. Buena presentación, pero visiblemente derretido--probablemente estuvo esperando un rato. Rico, pero nada memorable. Las salsas eran intensas pero muy picantes, sin opciones suaves para equilibrar. El servicio fue apresurado: cambiaron los cubiertos a mitad del bocado y el ritmo de la comida se sintió forzado. La mayoría de los comensales eran locales mexicanos de alto perfil, lo que aportaba un ambiente refinado. El total fue de USD $78 con propina--esperado para este tipo de lugar, pero no del todo justificado dada la experiencia en comparación con visitas anteriores. #AzulCondesa #CDMXEats #CochinitaPibil #TacosDeLechón #GuacamoleLovers #ComidaMexicana #MexicoCityEats #CondesaFoodScene #SpicyFlavors #FoodReview

    Delish food! Classy, p fancy, plenty of yummy bread and breakfast options. Feels a bit upscale and staff is super friendly, even though we barely speak spanish! My chilaquiles were amazing, and so was my cappuccino. The croissant was PERFECT and buttery. The fruit was fresh and they were super fast to bring out our food even though our party was 16 people. The only thing I didn't love was the French toast - it was a bit too sweet and weirdly tangy. But everything else was awesome.

    Highly recommend this restaurant. We went to two locations on this trip. Condesa and Centro Histórico. Both have the same quality food. Mexican cuisine at its finest. Gracias por todas las atenciones!

    Good place in a great location - the atmosphere was great, the food was good, but not excellent. The service was also good and we enjoyed our dinner, but expected a bit more from this restaurant. I would recommend it though.

    One of my fav restaurant experiences we had in cdmx! The space itself is gorgeous and the staff are awesome and fun. The drinks were surprisingly one of my fav parts of the meal - perhaps the best margarita ive ever had and the mango manguita cocktail is a MUST GET ! It has a delicious coconut foam and a lovely slightly sweet mango flavor. The mole enchiladas were an absolute treat!

    Extremely popular Oaxacan mole spot. Great variety of upscale food with a beautiful presentation of each dish. Service is prompt. Drink menu is extensive including beers, wines, cocktails, and spirits. If you are a fan of mole then I would highly recommend. Definitely need a reservation in advance.

    Great location in Condesa, I grabbed dinner here before hitting the night on Amsterdam and it was right around the corner. The dining area is beautiful. The mirrors and the greenery create a wonderful vibe. The food was excellent. I had the guacamole as an appetizer. It was very creamy and flavorful. I ordered the fish as my entree and was happy with the portion and presentation. The tortillas are made in house and we're delicious! The service was friendly and attentative. When we were greeted, our umbrellas were taken and held which was a nice touch.

    Mimi P.

    Excellent service, beautiful restaurant. The food was very good, not anything out of this world, but solid. Large portions, lovely presentation. Overall a really nice experience. Between the four of us we had the ant eggs appetizer, mole enchiladas, hibiscus enchiladas, tacos, and duck croquettes. For dessert we had the chocolate cake, strawberry tamal, and soursop dish. This was a nice meal for our last dinner in CDMX. Glad we kept the reservation. ;)

    Wow! What a wonderful meal we had here tonight. So much flavor without being too spicy. Lovely service and beautiful setting. The Camarones were amazing. The duck mole enchiladas were super yummy also. The tomato salad was so fresh and perfectly seasoned and simple.

We popped in on…read morea bit of a time crunch on our way to a Lucha Libre show, so we had to skip several tempting dishes marked on the menu as taking longer to prepare. That said, I really appreciated how clearly those items were labeled--it set expectations upfront and made ordering easier given our schedule. The space itself is beautiful with an open, airy ambience that immediately sets the tone. We were started off with complimentary crispy tortillas served with both red and green salsas--a simple but very welcome touch. For food, my kids ordered the lime soup and the penne al chipotle, both of which they really enjoyed. My husband and I went for the tortas: he chose the Bacalao a la Veracruzana and I had the Cangrejo de Concha Suave. Both were delicious, with a unique twist on the classic flavors. My husband also had a cocktail that he loved. Overall, a solid experience with great food and atmosphere. This is definitely a place I'd return to when I can slow down and savor it properly.

The first time we came in shortly before closing but they were more than accommodating and sat us down right away. This is a fine dining experience and it is really cool to be able to watch the kitchen and chef at work from your table. I can highly recommend the Guac- love the little touch of pomegranate and the variety of chips to dip, the chicken lime soup was a hit with our 1.5 year old, the beet salad was delicious and the sea bass cooked to perfection. For mothers day I treated myself to a house margarita and it was delish. We also tried not one but two desserts this time, the chocolate cake with ice cream and the soursop jelly, both divine! I was excited having just learned about the soursop fruit, and how many nutritional benefits there are- make sure you give it a try if you're into pudding desserts. The next time we tried some of the same things and some new things- steak, roasted chicken, cauliflower with mole sauce (the mole sauce here was perfection) mushroom soup and the house lemonade. All fantastic, and the presentation is wonderful. We ended the evening with the hot chocolate cake which was the perfect balance of chocolate paired with ice cream- note that this dessert does take some time to prepare fresh. Planning to come back here if I am ever in the area again!

We then kicked things off with the arancini, which set the tone right away--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly done. For mains, we shared a spread and honestly couldn't pick a favorite: the Octopus Tacos were tender and packed with flavor, the Rabbit Tacos were unique and delicious, and the roasted seasonal vegetables "al mojo de ajo" were simple but so satisfying. The marinated pan-fried salmon and fresh trout were both beautifully cooked and thoughtfully seasoned. Every dish felt intentional, beautifully presented and well executed. But the real showstoppers were the desserts. The fresh goat cheesecake with orange, grapefruit, and lemon was bright and perfectly balanced, and the whisky chocolate crème brûlée was rich, smooth, and unforgettable. Desserts truly knocked it out of the park. Bonus points for the cocktails--my hubby was a huge fan.

No music beyond the 2 guitar player going around table to table to see if you wanted a serenade. Skipped their offer 1st time around. Pretty quiet, bright and clean. Found that waiter spoke a little English and with our little Spanish got things done. Menus are bilingual Spanish-English. Ordered 4 lamb tacos, chile en nogada, cooked chicken in green sauce and a fish dish (forgot name, little spicy) then a coke, horchata and a pineapple drink. We got chips, cheese, sauce while waiting. Those were all nicely done but average. Dishes out maybe 10 min later. All presented well and hot. We shared each dish. Lamb tacos nicely done, little dry, but they give you some guacamole, a brown sauce, along with the green sauce and cheese with the tortilla chips. Nice, not fatty. Next was the chiles en nogada. First time tried this and really enjoyed, many flavors and nicely flavored beef. In general little on sweet side, so probably couldn't eat more than 1. The chicken in green sauce was a homey, comfort food. Nicely cooked chicken leg and thigh was an ever so slightly spicy sauce. Also came with tortilla wraps and Spanish riceLastly was the spicy baked fish. Done well, fell apart pretty easily, was spicy, but not too much. Had green beans on side done well, not too soft or hard, and Spanish rice. Drinks were all a hit. Coke is coke. Horchata and pineapple juice served in big mugs. Pineapple tastes freshly squeezed and horchata was a super solid example in every way. Oh almost forgot, later in the meal we figured out how to get the 2 guitar fellows to play for us. 2 songs for 300 peso, about 7min total. They did a good job with both the guitar and singing, was enjoyable to listen to them. Would stop back again if in area.
