My husband and I chose San Ángel Inn for our last dinner in Mexico City on our visit to the city a…read morefew weeks ago. I've always want to go because of its history and because I'd heard it is beautiful. It is beautiful. The history: San Ángel Inn is located in a former hacienda, built in 1616. From 1806-1900, the hacienda served as a country house for various owners, and it became a hotel in 1907 - that's why it's still called San Ángel Inn to this day. The structure was declared a "Colonial Monument" by the National Institute of Anthropology and History in 1937. After a brief stint as a university-affiliated building, it became a restaurant on June 13, 1963. So when you eat at San Ángel Inn, you're eating at restaurant with a storied and incredible history. The building is absolutely beautiful. We were seated at a table in the courtyard which, in December, was incredibly special: tons of nochebuenas/poinsettias, tons of holiday decor, live piano music, a fountain, and more. It's a beautiful restaurant, perfect for a special occasion meal (we saw lots of families having dinner together). It's a wonderful setting for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The menu is incredible - broad and varied with dishes from throughout Mexico. It was hard to choose what to order. We had some wine, which we enjoyed with the starters they brought (bread rolls and butter, veggies with a creamy dip). My husband started with the poblano pepper cream soup, which was to die for. I started with the Aztec Tortilla Soup, which is poured tableside and which you can customize with certain ingredients they ask you about during the tableside pour (I said yes to everything, including chicharrones). He had a small dish of shrimp with orange mole for his entree, while I ordered a traditional Mexican holiday dish they had on the menu for the Christmas season: romeritos with shrimp, nopales, and potatoes in a mole sauce. If you're looking for a traditional, beautiful, special meal in Mexico City, I highly recommend dinner at San Ángel Inn. It's a special place and a meal here is a great excuse to spend some time in the beautiful neighborhood of San Ángel.

The only good meal I had in Mexico City…read more Living in San Diego and visiting Tijuana for food quite often, I guess I'm used to above average restaurant experiences. I would've thought Mexico City had great food in general, but that wasn't the case. Was there for four days, ate many meals out and this was the only one I really enjoyed. Too bad the place was so hot and stuffy. It was cooler outside than it was inside. All they needed to do was open some windows. Service was great though.

I come here for the Molé, as it is a guarantee that it's going to be good and this time was no different. We came on a Friday night, and I thought it would be packed, but there was not a soul in the restaurant. We were seated and brought tortilla chips and salsa, and ordered margaritas. The chips were terrible, basically small, uncut tortillas that have been put on the fire and were actually burned. I did get them to bring more regular tortilla chips but they weren't great either. I find it difficult to get good tortilla chips here in CDMX but hey. Things went straight up from there, the Margaritas were the best I had here in Mexico City, one of the best that I have EVER had! We ordered quesadillas for a started, they were perfect. For the main, I had my usual- Chicken Molé- and it was definitely up to their standard- and some of the best Molé I have ever had. Service was a bit hit or miss, and suddenly I looked up and the place was packed! While there are many Mexican restaurants in the Polanco area, this one is a guarantee for a great Molé!

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!

Don't forget to try the gras hoppers, yes they are on the menu and quite good. The drinks were good, especially the margaritas.

I walked to the tranquil downtown Coyoacan area and saw La Casa de los Tacos was open, so porque no? The girls were so nice. And they were open with a few diners inside. It was kind of empty and chill, but the ambiance was festive and exciting due to the music and activities going on in el parque nearby. I was so hungry I wanted to eat everything, so I got the tacos con chapulines (HELLA FIRE) and a side plate of arroz con platanos. I also ordered a beer, but that never came out. Their salsas are hella good. Especially that insane truffle one, who knew! It was SO good. The pan fried platanos were so delicious and the perfect little craving I needed for a sweet treat afterwards. They accept cash and card, and make sure you tip you extranjero/turista!
