    100/10! The service was beyond amazing! A hidden gem for sure. From the moment we sat down the service was great. It is well hidden place that is easy to miss. The server did a phenomenal job. They serve you a house tamal for free while you wait for any appetizers or your meal. It was absolutely delicious. We tried their chicharron and guac with a side of agua chile and it was absolutely tasty! I got the shrimp quesadillas and it did not disappoint. The vibe in there is very cool. Very calm with a hint of nature and great taste of music.

    Wow what an incredible dining experience! The restaurant itself is gorgeous with high ceilings and beautiful decor. The service was superb! And oh my gosh every dish we tried was delicious. The gnocchi made of plantains blew my mind, and for our entrees we had fish and a quesadilla with shrimp. All so good

    Such a beautiful restaurant! The waiters were friendly & very attentive, and each dish was soo good. My group got a few different dishes and we all loved it!

    A local recommended this spot as one of her favorites. The night we had dinner there were some hits and some misses. Five of us dined and here were the **best things on our table**: DRINKS -"The Mezcanton" mezcal drink was the table favorite, by far. The Mezcal in the drink was Union El Viejo. It brings a smokey, earthly flavor layered to perfectly balanced citrus and sweet. BBQ and citrus is the best description I can think of. It was my favorite drink I had while visiting CDMX. STARTERS "Tostada de Jurel" was a great start to the meal. Good flavors, well balanced. Surprisingly I liked the grasshoppers. If you're going to go home and tell people you tried grasshoppers, this is the dish to try. MAINS -"Risotto Negro con Camarones" was one of the best dishes we ate all trip. I'd order it without hesitation. -"Aguachile" was a ceviche style dish. Very flavorful and fresh ingredients. DESSERT "Tarta de platano con dulce de leche" if you like banana desserts this was outstanding. Best dessert I had in CDMX. **What wasn't good**: Tomato soup was okay. The crouton in the middle was super soggy and the soup needed that contrasting texture. "Torta Ahogada" was bad. They screwed up my order and brought out my soup and sandwich at the same time. They tried to fix it by taking away my sandwich and then brought back the same sauce covered sandwich they served me 15 minutes before and the bread was so soggy it was un-eatable. It was terrible. One of the absolute worst things I had while in CDMX. -The octopus flavor was spot on, the texture was off. It wasn't cooked properly. I'd avoid this dish. -- ** IF ** you order correctly it could be one of the best meals you've ever eaten. June 2021

    Would give ten stars if I could. Requested that they have wine at the table for when we arrive and they nailed it! From there, the artichoke appetizer was amazing while not too filling, which is the mark of a good app. My girlfriend loved her vegan tacos while my birria tacos were delicious. And lastly, the helado dessert was light but also decadent. Throw in a setting that is to die for and I couldn't recommend this place enough.

    Excellent ambience, wonderful cocktails, delicious food - what more can you ask for!?

    I ate a lot of really fantastic meals in Mexico City but this was THE BEST. Start with the ambience of the place, stunningly beautiful colonial home. The dining room is in a courtyard under the stars. Then you have to consider the cocktail menu. They had an entire page of gins to choose from! That is a rarity in CAll of the cocktails are made with fresh juices and served ever cold draft ice. I had an old standby, a Collins, and it was perfectly balanced and crisp. We ordered a tuna tostada, a tomato cream soup and the rabbit carnitas. Three classic dishes but all with their own unique flavor. Everything was good but honestly the tomato soup took home the best of the best that night. I'm not even kidding when I say that I was restraining myself from licking the bowl. This place is not to be missed, by locals and tourists a like. A true gem in the culinary crown city of Mexico.

    This place is amazing! Great food! The desserts were so good! The service is absolutely outstanding! Definitely a hidden gem within the Roma district. It's very hipster! Love it.

    Tuna tostada

    Beautiful space and an interesting take on some fusion items. We found that they used a lot of soy/hoisin flavours which made dishes quite salty (be weary haha). The staff was really good at making sure we had an English menu and trying their best at accommodating us. We had gotten a couple of dishes: tuna tostada - great flavour but on the salty side, soft shell crab taco - not worth it in my opinion and the prawn risotto - different than western type risotto - more thick similar to a porridge type. Prawn was really well seasoned. Soft shell crab was underwhelming and was almost completely covered in batter which really masked the taste of it. Sorry for the lack of light and photos - was a bit dim when we dined (reservations recommended) and kind of fudged the photo op haha. Decent pricing but on the more expensive side for CDMX eats.

    We find this place after a wine-tasting at the SI MON wine bar which is attached. I asked if they could do something vegan and when they said "yes" - we booked a reservation. Really happy we did. I was there with my mom, who is decidedly not vegan, so she got the blue crab tacos. From her devouring it, I know it had to be incredible. I had the beet carpaccio (without cheese) and to start some sort of black bean, cilantro, green tomato deliciousness (I've clearly forgotten its name). We shared a bottle of wine from SI MON, the MM to be exact. We took the rest of the bottle home and even bought a few bottles to take back to the States with us because it is an amazing wine (from the Valle de Guadeloupe, no less). The food is well thought out and constructed, the wine is divine. The ambience is beautiful, set in a courtyard that is serene and lovely. The staff were attentive and kind, and despite us speaking very little Spanish, they really took care of us (and were beyond patient).

    Delicioso fondant de dulce de leche! Es un MUST #foodporn

    Ideal for going with a large group of friends. Just make sure to make a reservation. The food is good and I like the atmosphere. I like the dulce de leche fondant, the tacos and the cake with dulce de leche and banana. The only thing I don't like is the service, it's too slow. So be prepared to spend a lot of time there. Prices are a bit high.

    Delicious appetizers!

    La Capital was a great dinner stop--just wish we'd had more time to fully enjoy it. 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!

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.

We tried a few juices, the chicken tomato salad and the salmon tacos. The salad was huge with a big portion of chicken, avocado and many toppings for a reasonable price.

The lights were out in the bathroom and in part of the restaurant, so not sure if they were dealing with a partial power outage and impact to the kitchen. Still recommend for the food!

What really says it all? We loved it so much, we went back the very next day. This was the only restaurant we repeated during our week-long stay, which should tell you everything. The menu is extensive and thoughtfully curated--fresh, flavorful, and something for everyone. We tried the croissant sandwich, salmon deli nut sandwich, chutney mango deli sandwich, santos ahogados, fig chipotle deli sandwich, pear honey deli sandwich, and the spicy tuna deli sandwich. The sandwiches came with a standard simple salad. Every single item was delicious, well-balanced, and satisfying in that "clean but filling" way. The tables had two delicious spicy chili oil like condiments which elevated each of these dishes. And the juices--WOW. So refreshing, vibrant, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The perfect complement to the food and ideal for starting (or resetting) your day. If you're visiting Mexico City, Ojo de Agua is an absolute must. With such a wide menu, you're guaranteed to find something you'll love--and very likely come back for more. Highly recommend!
