I had the octopus tacos and octopus peanut tacos. I couldn't even manage to finish either as they were so bad. The flavor just wasn't it. I pulled out some of the octopus to separate it from the other items and it wasn't any better on its own. I also noticed that they were among the two most expensive items on the menu which makes me suspect the waiter was just directing me to the most expensive items rather than the most popular, which is what I inquired about. Don't recommend, would never come back here again.

The tacos were incredibly fresh and flavorful. We tried the jalapeño-stuffed tuna, smoked marlin, and a tuna-shrimp combo--each one was excellent and cooked perfectly. But the real star is the self-serve toppings bar. The variety of toppings, salsas, and fresh house-made sauces takes the tacos to a whole different level and lets you customize every bite exactly how you want it. Paired everything with cold Coronas and Topo Chicos, and it was such a satisfying, no-frills but high-quality meal. Generous portions, great flavors, quick service and absolutely worth the price.

ONE OF THE BEST RESTAURANTS IN TOWN I was visiting from San Francisco (means I'm a big foodie) I am very very picky about my food and we had been walking around for 45 min looking for a place to eat some breakfast, a young girl recommended this place and I absolute fell IN LOVE with place! We returned for dinner and it was absolutely phenomenal. Had a chance to talk to the chef at dinner and he told me that he had made pastries for the children at the children's hospital and delivered them in the morning. This is the best place for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Wouldn't go anywhere else! Service was also fabulous the best and sweetest waiters! read more

Nestled in the tranquil Condesa neighborhood, this restaurant boasts a serene atmosphere. The grilled pulpo, while tasty, left us wishing for a more generous portion, especially considering the slightly higher price tag. The lobster pasta, though not remarkable, wasn't disappointing either. The burger, unfortunately, was averagely cooked and lacked the wow factor. The cocktails were passable. Overall, a quiet spot, but with room for improvement in portion sizes and culinary consistency. read more

As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a tranquil pond, with walls draped in lush greenery. It's absolutely gorgeous. The service is outstanding. It's the kind of place that's perfect for a casual lunch, a special birthday celebration, or anything in between. They somehow make every meal feel like an occasion. We started with the tomato salad. Our server suggested we eat it with a spoon right from the bowl so we wouldn't miss a drop of the incredible dressing. Wow. It was one of the most memorable dishes I've ever had. Next came the tuna tostadas and the roasted cauliflower. Every single bite was exceptional. We finished with the brownie, which was the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. If I went back tomorrow, the tomato salad would be the first thing I'd order. I would return to Botánico in a heartbeat.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess and shown to our table. They have minimal English-speaking staff, but we didn't have any issues communicating. There is also patio seating as well. Menu was split into different categories from appetizers, salads, steaks, pizza, pasta, and seafood. We were surprised at how big the portion was, plenty to share. We ordered a few items: - NY dry aged carpaccio: This was a massive portion. Cut perfectly into thin slices. A great choice for an appetizer. - Brisket tacos (3): Comes with 3 medium size tacos. Meat was tendered. Two different sauces and with your usual toppings. - Ribeye tacos (3): Same with this, comes with 3 tacos. My favorite out of the two tacos. - Octopus on the grill: My favorite out of everything we tried. I love getting octopus when in Mexico. It was fresh and grilled perfectly. It also came with fried potatoes which we all love. - Peasant salad: A good balance to the rest of the meal. A refreshing salad with sweet tomatoes. - Grilled cod fillet: The cod fillet was just the right texture. The sweet potatoes puree gave it a nice balance. The service was amazing. The staff helped pour our water and helped with plating our food. I really appreciate their attentiveness.

They truly created and planned the perfect event for the group and I truly could not be more grateful. Onto the food (their honest reviews)! They said it was a 11/10 dining experience overall. The food was incredible and amazing and these are some food critics traveling from major foodie cities. They planned a beautiful menu with Chicken Tortilla Soup, a variety of Empanadas, Picaña Steak and Skirt Steak, and Peasant Salad and Fries as sides. They said the soup was super delicious and flavorful. They said the steak was absolutely phenomenal and tender, it was very high quality meat. Also the salad really stood out as it was super fresh and crisp. Then they plated a beautiful dessert assortment as well as well as special happy birthday and bachelor messages to make the celebration extra special. The cocktails were also super delicious as well. They left the meal with their hearts and bellies very full. From everything, from the planning, to the the presentation of food, the service, and food quality, the team at Gardela went above and beyond. I really could not have picked a better place and now I am jealous because I need to go try some of the steaks because they had my mouth watering! Overall, I would highly recommend going to this restaurant. They said they were seated in a private room too so it made the experience even more special. My sincerest thank you to the entire team at Gardela for making this event unforgettable!
