    The service was excellent, since we walked in the staff was very welcoming. The restaurant is is cozy. Our waitress was Mabet she is very friendly and patient, she answered all our questions. The food, I can't even describe. It was very flavourful, and pretty. Aporreadillo, was something delicious. Chile ahogado was 2 thumbs up. The Árabe is something you need to try.

    Fresh papaya with delicious... sweetened sesame?
    Rose K.

    I stumbled upon this small place because it was hoppin' with locals on a Sunday morning. It was just down the street from where we were staying, and I never would have noticed it if it hadn't been for so many people dining al fresco that morning. I did not regret it. The service was incredibly friendly. I ordered green pozole, which came with all the accoutrements and was a generous portion. They were happy to add aguacate to my order. Avocado makes everything better! I made friends with the couple next to me, who let me photograph their enormous tlayuda of the day. They offered to bring out some fruit, and the papaya was perfectly ripe and the included some sweet seeds with it. They were fine with both English and Spanish. It was also properly priced (not crazy tourist prices), and probably one of my favorite meals of the trip. I would definitely come back.

    Delicious, casual corner eatery. Great for traditional Mexican breakfast and lunch. Open Tuesday through Sunday. Breakfast comes with fresh juice and coffee. The combination guava and orange juice was great, as were the chilaquiles with chicken and eggs.

    Chilaquiles w/ Pollo in delicious red sauce:  this photo barely captures the excellent flavors and ample size ($98MX)

    Little things matter: * The fresh sliced white onions atop my pollo chilaquiles; * The slabs of thick, moist carrot bread delivered before the entrees arrived; * Sweetened, toasted sesame seeds in which to roll the fresh papaya; and * Omelet accompaniments which mimicked the colors of Mexico's flag. La Ki-K is that small, under the radar spot that you should know of when you're in Condesa in search of a blissfully delicious meal served in immaculate surroundings. Someone cares deeply about what this place looks like and what comes out of the kitchen and you're the beneficiary. If not for the locals dining al fresco La Ki-K would've made little impression to me, a passerby. But as I traipsed past one morning I couldn't help but notice the bountiful entrees on the tables and their rich colors. Since I bulleted the highlights above, let me just say that the sauce in which my chilaquiles were bathed was a rich, complex mix of spiciness, satisfying and delicious. The menu here is larger than expected and the prices are a steal if you're accustomed to being scalped by paying for brunch in the US. A meal for two (Chilaquiles, omelet, fruit, carrot bread, rolls, and coffee) - enough food to last us until supper - ran a grand total of $234 MX (less than $13 US). There's other breakfast/brunch places that might catch your eye in this area but what you really want is someplace to sate your tastebuds. La Ki-K is that place.

    Papaya with candied sesame seeds
    Dara E.

    This place is a hidden gem!!! I come to MXC fairly often, and this is one of the best little spots I have found!! Hands down, the best breakfast I have had here yet; way better than any of the usual recommended spots! I had the papaya with candied sesame seeds, coffee, a sparkling water, and crazy delicious eggs from the brunch menu. They were fried in a clay pot with herb oil, cheese, and a mild sausage, with a side of tzazikj sauce. All of this for $8.50 US, including tip!! I have to find the clay pots they use to bring back to the states so I can make this at home, bc I will definitely crave this!! And, I will be back for sure!!

    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!

We then kicked things off with the arancini, which set the tone right away--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly done. For mains, we shared a spread and honestly couldn't pick a favorite: the Octopus Tacos were tender and packed with flavor, the Rabbit Tacos were unique and delicious, and the roasted seasonal vegetables "al mojo de ajo" were simple but so satisfying. The marinated pan-fried salmon and fresh trout were both beautifully cooked and thoughtfully seasoned. Every dish felt intentional, beautifully presented and well executed. But the real showstoppers were the desserts. The fresh goat cheesecake with orange, grapefruit, and lemon was bright and perfectly balanced, and the whisky chocolate crème brûlée was rich, smooth, and unforgettable. Desserts truly knocked it out of the park. Bonus points for the cocktails--my hubby was a huge fan. Great food, great drinks, excellent service and relaxed ambiance made for a wonderful overall experience. Highly recommend adding Temporal to your Mexico City dining list.

We order pan de dulce for the table and we got 2 conchas, soft and warm just made. A chocolate roll and a fig and nata pastry along with coffee for the table. We order hievos rancheros with the red sauce. Huevos revueltos con chorizo, omelete con flor de calabaza y tamal de elote con crema. We also order a birria de res to share with the table. Service was very quick, efficient and friendly menus can be had in english or Spanish . My daughter order a hot chocolate with preparation table side, she said it was amazing.

No music beyond the 2 guitar player going around table to table to see if you wanted a serenade. Skipped their offer 1st time around. Pretty quiet, bright and clean. Found that waiter spoke a little English and with our little Spanish got things done. Menus are bilingual Spanish-English. Ordered 4 lamb tacos, chile en nogada, cooked chicken in green sauce and a fish dish (forgot name, little spicy) then a coke, horchata and a pineapple drink. We got chips, cheese, sauce while waiting. Those were all nicely done but average. Dishes out maybe 10 min later. All presented well and hot. We shared each dish. Lamb tacos nicely done, little dry, but they give you some guacamole, a brown sauce, along with the green sauce and cheese with the tortilla chips. Nice, not fatty. Next was the chiles en nogada. First time tried this and really enjoyed, many flavors and nicely flavored beef. In general little on sweet side, so probably couldn't eat more than 1. The chicken in green sauce was a homey, comfort food. Nicely cooked chicken leg and thigh was an ever so slightly spicy sauce. Also came with tortilla wraps and Spanish riceLastly was the spicy baked fish. Done well, fell apart pretty easily, was spicy, but not too much. Had green beans on side done well, not too soft or hard, and Spanish rice. Drinks were all a hit. Coke is coke. Horchata and pineapple juice served in big mugs. Pineapple tastes freshly squeezed and horchata was a super solid example in every way. Oh almost forgot, later in the meal we figured out how to get the 2 guitar fellows to play for us. 2 songs for 300 peso, about 7min total. They did a good job with both the guitar and singing, was enjoyable to listen to them. Would stop back again if in area.

We tried a few juices, the chicken tomato salad and the salmon tacos. The salad was huge with a big portion of chicken, avocado and many toppings for a reasonable price.

What really says it all? We loved it so much, we went back the very next day. This was the only restaurant we repeated during our week-long stay, which should tell you everything. The menu is extensive and thoughtfully curated--fresh, flavorful, and something for everyone. We tried the croissant sandwich, salmon deli nut sandwich, chutney mango deli sandwich, santos ahogados, fig chipotle deli sandwich, pear honey deli sandwich, and the spicy tuna deli sandwich. The sandwiches came with a standard simple salad. Every single item was delicious, well-balanced, and satisfying in that "clean but filling" way. The tables had two delicious spicy chili oil like condiments which elevated each of these dishes. And the juices--WOW. So refreshing, vibrant, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The perfect complement to the food and ideal for starting (or resetting) your day. If you're visiting Mexico City, Ojo de Agua is an absolute must. With such a wide menu, you're guaranteed to find something you'll love--and very likely come back for more. Highly recommend!
