    Absolutely amazing spot with excellent customer service and the margherita pizza with Italian…read moresausage was delicious! The mojitos with fruto rojos was fantastic! Also amazing coffee as well! Great ambience and decor inside too!

    We probably would not have tried this restaurant, but it was close to our new home on a very rainy…read morenight. The cozy, arty atmosphere was just right and casual dress was acceptable. 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.

    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.

    Since I always stay at one of the hotels nearby, I try to come here on every visit, so I have been…read morehere several times over the last decade or so. 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!

    This place is a hidden gem--do not skip it…read more The restaurant itself is beautiful, with an amazing view, and from the moment we walked in, we felt completely at ease. Everything was spotless, welcoming, and thoughtfully done. It's owned and run by a local husband-and-wife team, and that personal care makes all the difference. We truly felt at home. Ernesto was incredible--knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure our entire family had a great experience. I speak Spanish, but he is also fluent in English, which made everything seamless. The food? Outstanding. My kids ordered the chicken tacos and finished every single bite. I had the tortilla soup, which was easily one of the best I've ever had--rich, comforting, and full of flavor. I also ordered a custom chicken breast stuffed with huitlacoche, and it was absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. If you're looking for authentic food, excellent service, and a place that actually cares, this is it. Don't fall for the hype of the overcrowded tourist spots--this restaurant is the real deal. Perfect for families and anyone who appreciates amazing food made with heart. Este lugar es una verdadera joya escondida. El restaurante es hermoso, con una vista increíble, y desde el momento en que llegamos nos sentimos muy a gusto. Todo estaba impecable, el ambiente es cálido y acogedor, y la comida fue espectacular. El restaurante es atendido por un matrimonio local, y esa atención tan personal se nota de inmediato. Realmente nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Ernesto fue increíble: atento, conocedor del menú y siempre pendiente de que toda nuestra familia estuviera bien atendida. Hablo español, pero él también es completamente bilingüe en inglés, lo que hizo todo muy fácil. La comida fue extraordinaria. Mis hijos pidieron tacos de pollo y no dejaron absolutamente nada. Yo pedí la sopa de tortilla, y sin exagerar, es una de las mejores que he probado. También pedí una pechuga de pollo personalizada rellena de huitlacoche, y estaba deliciosa, perfectamente preparada y llena de sabor. Si buscan comida auténtica, excelente servicio y un lugar que realmente se preocupa por sus clientes, este es el sitio. No caigan en la fama de los restaurantes turísticos--este lugar es el verdadero tesoro. Ideal para familias y para quienes aprecian la buena comida hecha con corazón.

There was no talk of to go boxes. It was all about trying to find room to eat it all. I wanted to try Nopales and the chef made me a special order of just that. We had Huitlacoche- mushroom corn. The place is so beautiful. The seating outside is so colorful and a wonderful breeze. Best is that we supported a local small business. Ernesto and his little son were wonderful. Amazing service with great recommendations. So accommodating to all our requests and bilingual to accommodate everyone in our group.
