The food here is absolutely stellar. This was definitely the best fine dining meal I had in Mexico…read moreCity (blows nearby Quintonil out of the water in my opinion), and also the best experience I've had so far at a Michelin star restaurant anywhere in the world. Each dish we had was not only beautifully presented like a work of art, but tasted phenomenal as well. Most places like this there's only a few standout dishes, but here every dish stood out.
My favorite dishes (forgot the exact names) were the abalone, desebrada de res served cold, and the lengua entree. These three were not only the best dishes I had here, but are on the list of the best I ate all time. The abalone specifically stood out. It was served cold in this delicious light sauce and I completely wiped that plate clean. The lengua was the best prepared lengua I've seen, so soft and melted in my mouth. I even made a couple of tacos with it and it was mind blowing.
Another thing that stood out was this mole they served that was I think 10 years old. I have never heard of mole cooking that long, but when I tasted it, it was instantly obvious I was eating something special. Best mole I've had.
The restaurant also has spectacular ambience, the inside is absolutely gorgeous. My only ding about this place is the cocktail program is a bit weak, wine is the way to go here. The service was good but nothing amazing. Those are just small details though. The most important part of any restaurant is the quality of the food and how good it tastes, and they exceed all expectations in that area. If you pick one fancy dinner during a trip to Mexico City, or want to celebrate a special occasion somewhere nice, this is unarguably the place to go.
