This restaurant is a hidden gem on the 3rd floor of Terminal 1. They have "rooftop" seating…read more(actually covered with a huge skylight) and balcony overlooking a portion of the terminal. Or you may dine inside at cozy tables with cloth napkins. The restaurant is tastefully decorated with colorful traditional Mexican art. I felt like I walked into a different world far away from the bustle of the airport. The extensive menu has everything from traditional Mexican delights (antojitos), tacos, to soups and salads, beef, chicken, seafood, and even delicacies like crickets or escamoles for the adventurous. I chose a tlalpeño soup and a the Chile relleno. They were delicious! They have a full bar for those who want it, but I chose one of their refreshing aguas frescas. They also offer soft drinks or bottled water and coffee. I was too full for a dessert, though they looked amazing. Prices run high for Mexican standards: between 200 to 500 pesos an entree. But considering the excellent table service, enchanting decor, the quality and presentation of the food it is worth it. I've paid more in the USA for far less. The servers are attentive and friendly, dressed with unique traditional Mexican accessories. When we asked one to take our picture, he offered us sombreros to wear for the picture. Sure, why not? The restrooms were clean as was everything I saw. I have been through this airport numerous times but never had seen them before. I will certainly return when I get the chance.

Kinda disappointed. Based on other reviews expected a really nice ambience and high quality food. I…read morewasn't very happy with the shrimp cakes, it tasted like old/dirty shrimp. Taste did not match price. Certainly there is an effort here to be special, but I think next time I'd just grab something from the food court at 1/3 the price and maybe better taste. Service was ... very.... attentive. More than I like. That kind of efforting-to-make-an-impression-but-actually-overcomplicating sort of vibe.

Potzollcalli is one of your food options within the food court in Terminal 2, Mexico City airport…read moreright by the check in area. They're located five stores deep down the row of restaurants, four stores past Starbucks. I was looking for a good Mexican breakfast and order the huevos rancheros. It came with beans and fresh squeezed orange juice. I added a coffee to my order. The service was friendly and prompt. The food was like it was made at home, and very good. It is authentic Mexican food. They use all natural ingredients and even make their own mole. I did not realize their coffee is cafe de olla until I got to my table. This is a special kind of Mexican coffee which is quite good if you are in the mood for it. But it has a very unique flavor. The coffee is prepared in a clay pot, and they add raw sugar (known in Mexico as "piloncillo", or in Colombia as "panela"). All the flavors, including the taste of the clay pot come through in the coffee if it is authentic. This was. If that does not sound good to you, you can always get your coffee at Starbucks or at the 7-Eleven across the way. Since this restaurant is more like a food stand within a food court, the bathrooms are serviced by the airport not the restaurant. There is one common area with tables and chairs for dining. There are a few places which offer power outlets to recharge your devices. For what it is, this establishment does a very good job. After you dine, if you have the time, I recommend you go by the Memoria Fotográfica de México on your way back into the check-in area and to your gate. It is a an amazing display of photographs from Mexico's colorful and rich history.

On my second visit, I did and the food was delicious, with generous portions and very inexpensive (it cost me $10 for 2 people!!!). It is more of a fast food restaurant, but having eaten in one of the table-service restaurants in the airport, the food here not only tasted better, but the presentation was also more appealing. If you're not familiar with the dishes, the photos of the food are pretty accurate. I'd eat here again.

I asked for what was on the menu. The server said "both are the same price". I was then asked if I wanted one or two shots. The sales tactics are slimy. Just say "The drink normally comes with one shot, but you can get a second for only xxx more." The drink was ok but too sweet. My panini was huge and had lots of meat. It's not a traditional American panini but it was good. It came with a few fries. The fries and panini arrived room temp. When it came to the check, the receipt was different than what's on the menu. When I asked the server he said "oh it's because you got the rum. I asked for what was on the menu. Just don't offer a menu if your not going to honor it.

This restaurant is busy place and located at the 2nd level of the airport where you can find other restaurants aswell. Myself and 3 other friends decided to try this one coz it says authentic mexican cuisine. Spacious and there were few associates that speak english that really help us with our orders.Plus a very warm greeting from the hostess. For the start we had the nachos.huge serving and very delish we had chicken soup, beef dishes and few drinks. we had no single complaint with the taste of the dishes we ordered, generous servings and good foods. Big bar can roughly accommodate more than 40-50 heads in one sitting' neat place to eat and chill out while waiting for your flight. Decors are contemporary, mexican inspired aswell as the music,cant remember if they have television inside and im sure theres no wifi,free wifi is only available in one side of the airport and definitely not this side. Service is excellent despite some of them are struggling to speak in english. They accept cash/and major creditcards,gratuity is not included in the bill. I recommend this place to tavellers who wants a good mexican foods.
