As someone who always struggles with trying to figure out what the "right" thing to order is, I absolutely loved not having to worry about this and rather sitting back and enjoying the vibes/ talking to strangers while awaiting "surprise" dishes. They were also able to cater to my vegan diet with every dish being so unique and tasty. We came by twice and between the two visits every dish we had was different. This was overall probably the most fun and tasty meal we had in Mexico City Some tips: - the restaurant is cash only so make sure to bring cash - there's no reservations so make sure to come early because lines are common. We got lucky in that we stopped by on weekdays when it was less busy

If you're planning to eat at Expendio de Maíz, be prepared to wait--but trust me, it's worth it…read more We waited about an hour and a half to be seated. Thankfully, our Airbnb was just around the corner, and there's a brewery nearby where we were able to grab a drink while we waited. We ended up being part of the last seating of the day and were seated family-style with other guests, including people from Australia and Toronto. I actually loved that part of the experience. It made dinner feel communal, and it was fun meeting new people over an incredible meal. I ordered the Jamaica mezcal cocktail, and it was delicious--refreshing with just the right amount of smokiness. I honestly can't remember the names of all the dishes because everything is served as a tasting experience, but I do remember that every single course was fantastic. The food speaks for itself. The music, the atmosphere, and the overall vibe made the entire experience feel special. If you're visiting Mexico City, this is absolutely a place I'd recommend adding to your list.

There are two dining areas and a fascinating little store that sells tea, jewelry, designer clothes and in the hallway, beauty products (I think). Note: It is quite dark. I felt really old because I needed my phone light to read the menu, but our much younger waiter also had trouble seeing to process our credit card lol. Service was kind and professional. Tuscan food is unusual for us and we don't eat many of the ingredients, so our selections were a bit limited. Happily, we both found dishes that we enjoyed. My husband had chicken breast, which came with a salad snd sweet potato puree. The salad dressing was so light and lemony. I want to come back just for that. My white fish was Mediterranean in style and cooked in a sauce of cherry tomato, artichokes, olives and capers. It was delicious, but enough for two or three meals, so I took some home. Our meals came with herbed crisp breads and herb butter. They have a nice selection of teas and I absolutely loved the white tea with flower petals and lychee. Overall, a great find.

We were told to come here by Our nice who lives in the city and who frequents this place. Reservations recommended. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a very friendly host who leads us for a very safety COVID protocols. never experienced this in the States. Once inside, the manager Miguel who was very attentive and professional walked us to the terrace and guide us to seat next to the bar! The place has a complete large full bar very modern and yet trendy, great for drinks, dinner and nice music. We were offered one of their signature drinks made with Mezcal cucumber and pineapple juices with a garnish made of crushed pancetta, salt and chili a must try! As an appetizer we were offered wooden tray of shaved prosciutto and bread, very delightful !! we also ordered eggplant with provolone cheese, it was very good and baby octopus on top of a oven roasted potatoes this is to die for. Enough for the night. Great service by our waiter who you can tell that was well trained and no how to describe the food that was served. To top it off we ordered a a couple of desserts, Tiramisu a must try and a mousse made with goat cheese with guava purée and hibiscus exceptional !! For digestion we had their signature limoncello!!! the best way to finish our unique dinner! The Chef -Owner Julian who we found out that he is one the the best chefs in Mexico who won many international awards and the manager Miguel came by to our table to thank us for coming to their unique restaurant-Bar. Their wine Cellar is impressive and trendy Great for an special occasion or focelebration. We wanted to try some other signature dishes that they are famous for specially their pasta dishes but Unfortunately that was enough for the night. Can't wait to come back to try their famous dishes at this Outstanding restaurant- bar. A Tru gem in the middle of Roma's neighborhood in Mexico City. We recommend this place A must try!!!!

There was actually a considerable 30-40 minute waitlist, which speaks to how popular this place is. Once ready, you take the elevator upstairs are are seated. The vibe was very low-key and chill, kind of like a cafeteria--definitely nothing fancy. The service is casual; you just flag a waiter when you're ready, and they bring things out staggered. We ordered the pozole, very homey, especially when paired with the fresh toppings they provide--radish, oregano, lime, and crunchy tostadas on the side. We also ordered enchiladas, the tortillas held up well, and the filling was generous. To finish off, I had the flan and to be honest it was kinda meh.

Cevichento is one of the joints (it's got a street-front, with a few chairs that you can sit at). The service is slow (as it is at most of the places here), so don't go if you're in a rush. OTOH, the food is really quite good - the aguachile is delightfully acidic (and *chili-hot*!), as are the tortas.

I would love to go again, it was a good taco.

If you have children, I would honestly think twice before stopping at Felix…read more We chose Felix because we wanted to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view and the crisp Mexico City morning. When we arrived, they allowed us to sit outside and put two tables together for our family. A little while later, a woman who I assume was a manager came over and explained that the tables could not be put together. She was very kind about it, and we had absolutely no problem moving them back. I completely understand restaurant policies. Unfortunately, everything after that made us feel very unwelcome. Our waiter was nice, but he barely checked on us compared with the other tables. There was also another woman overseeing the outside area who was walking around greeting and checking on nearly every table except ours. I don't know if it was because we had children, because we wanted to sit outside, or because we had originally put two tables together, but the difference in service was very noticeable. I asked for a menu and waited about 30 minutes before having to wave someone down again. After that, it still took another 20 minutes to actually get the menu. At no point during all of this did anyone come over to take our food order, while we watched other tables arrive, order, eat, and receive attentive service. At that point, I should have left much earlier, but I kept giving them the benefit of the doubt. Eventually, I paid for our coffee and we left. We walked literally across the street to MAQUE, and the experience was NIGHT AND DAY. They were welcoming, accommodating, attentive, and wonderful with our family. We still got to sit outside in the front, enjoy the beautiful weather, and they even had live entertainment. Honestly, it ended up being such a better experience!! I know one Yelp review isn't going to make or break Felix, but I wanted to share this because it was very obvious that other guests were receiving great service while we were being overlooked. Whatever the reason was, we did not feel welcomed, and the service was incredibly disappointing. Felix, please do better!!! Every guest should feel acknowledged and welcomed including families with children. Sorry it messed up your Aesthetic! Translating this to Spanish... Si tienen niños, sinceramente lo pensaría dos veces antes de ir a Felix. Elegimos Felix porque queríamos sentarnos afuera y disfrutar de la bonita vista y de una mañana fresca en la Ciudad de México. Cuando llegamos, nos permitieron sentarnos afuera y juntar dos mesas para nuestra familia. Poco después, una mujer que supongo era gerente se acercó y nos explicó que no se podían juntar las mesas. Fue muy amable al decírnoslo y nosotros no tuvimos ningún problema en separarlas. Entiendo perfectamente que los restaurantes tienen sus propias políticas. Desafortunadamente, después de eso todo nos hizo sentir que no éramos bienvenidos. Nuestro mesero fue amable, pero casi no se acercaba a nuestra mesa comparado con las demás. También había otra mujer supervisando el área exterior que caminaba saludando y atendiendo prácticamente a todas las mesas, menos a la nuestra. No sé si fue porque teníamos niños, porque queríamos sentarnos afuera o porque al principio habíamos juntado dos mesas, pero la diferencia en el servicio fue demasiado evidente. Pedí un menú y pasaron aproximadamente 30 minutos antes de que tuviera que llamar nuevamente la atención de alguien. Después de eso, todavía tardaron otros 20 minutos en traerme el menú. Durante todo ese tiempo, nadie se acercó a preguntarnos qué queríamos ordenar, mientras veíamos cómo otras mesas llegaban, ordenaban, comían y recibían un servicio mucho más atento. En ese momento debimos habernos ido mucho antes, pero seguí dándoles el beneficio de la duda. Finalmente pagué lo que habíamos consumido y nos fuimos. Literalmente cruzamos la calle y fuimos a MAQUE, y la diferencia fue DEL CIELO A LA TIERRA. Fueron amables, atentos, súper accesibles y trataron muy bien a nuestra familia. Pudimos sentarnos afuera, justo al frente, disfrutar del clima tan agradable y además tenían música en vivo. Sinceramente, terminó siendo una experiencia muchísimo mejor. Sé que una reseña en Yelp no va a hacer o deshacer a Felix, pero quería compartir nuestra experiencia porque era muy evidente que otros clientes estaban recibiendo un excelente servicio mientras que nosotros éramos ignorados. Cualquiera que haya sido la razón, no nos sentimos bienvenidos y el servicio fue muy decepcionante. Felix, pueden hacerlo mejor. Todos los clientes deberían sentirse atendidos y bienvenidos, incluyendo las familias con niños!!
