    Amazing! We had seafood and it was amazing! Drinks were very good as well. The service is not as good. Had to ask several times for service but when we got the attention of a server, it went well. To pay your bill, there are multiple charges. It seems that every business charges separately. Every time I go to Mexico City I go to Lucerna and I bring people with me. It's a great experience. The place has great energy and lots of visual interest. There is something for everyone. I will be back.

    This place definitely had a distinct hip vibe, and it almost felt as if I was in a mall food court. But this place is set-up much nice than a food court. Firstly, all of the mini restaurants are one in the same. Customers order off a menu instead of ordering at each individual venue. It was fairly busy when I arrived here on this Tuesday night. I would recon that it was 3/4 full of customers who were dining in. I found a cool picnic type table to sit and picked out what I wanted from the menu. This place is fun enough that I decided to order a Hawaiian Pizza! They only come in a medium size, but there was more than enough pizza for tonight and for lunch tomorrow as well. I was helped by various servers, and one of the servers tried to sell me up on additional french fries, which I definitely did not need. It took roughtly ten minutes for the pizza to be prepared, and once they brought it to my table, it definitely looked like a Mexican style Hawaiian pizza! Practically no sauce, yet a lot of pineapples and cheese. They did provide me ketchup packets which is a common practice here in Mexico. They use the ketchup to supplement for the lack of sauce! It was still delicious and I managed to finish-off half of it! The drinks seemed a little over-pticed at 55 pesos for a canned soda. I had a good dining experience here!

    This place reminds of Singapore's hawker stalls. Each little booth on the side is its own restaurant and you sit in the middle on picnic tables. This setup means the service is a nightmare, each stall having its own menu, servers that you had to flag down. But the food here was really good. We ordered several items from several vendors and it was all very good. If they could consolidate checks it would be great. The atmosphere had loud music and was very lively. Definitely worth going to!

    Great space! You have the option to eat at 5 different places and not to mention a place for great coffee and a ice cream stand. I had a burger and fries very good Especially the fresh cut fries Went back the next morning for a coffee and pastry from the coffee stand

    Very lively place with many food options. We had seafood and was delicious! Coco loco drink was pretty good as well

    Very cool, trendy place to meet up friends and have a couple drinks at. I had a fish tostada that was very fresh and tasty. There was very cool decor and all kinds of different foods to try. There were things from tacos to hot dogs to even paletas which are popsicles. You do have to pay each vendor separately for what you buy from each place.

    The Tuna tostada was good but the service was terrible.

    Terrible service they took my order wrong and also I was waiting for so long just to have a bad service the food was good but they also were asking me to tip them what they want not what they deserve.

    Food is decent, drinks are delicious. It can be a bit confusing, there are 5-6 establishments and you have to call out the servers from the place you want to eat from. The bf and I tried the seafood place and had drinks from the place accross. The location is in the Juarez neighborhood pretty hipster, but the place seems full of tourists and not so many locals. The food is higher priced than say ur average taco stand in the corner. The place is worth a visit. If you are into craft beer you can find a few selections here. Food types: seafood, pizza, tacos, and hot dogs.

    Kon tiki. Smaller than it looks like it would be based on the menu picture.

    What a cool find! We were walking around the neighborhood after visiting the chocolate museum when we saw this interesting corner and had to check it out. So glad we did! What drew us in (besides the vibe) was the nogada hamburger, in the style of chile en nogada, which happens to be in season now for Independence Day. It was very flavorful and juicy! I wish the cheese inside the chile was melted. But it was tasty. Service was a bit slow and confusing, at first, because it is a food court. The drink -Kon tiki- was strong. It's smaller than it looks on the menu. There was a gal with a bar cart making pretty drinks as well. Dessert- creamy and delicious maracuya mango chili paleta! Fun place to hang out!

    Great place to enjoy Friday night and get some drinks

    It's like a food truck ambiance in a permanent location. Good choice to enjoy some drinks and kind-of food truck options in a very relaxed mood. It's a collection of around 10 locations including a bar, seafood, Italian and Mexican food with a common patio. You can be sharing table with other costumers and it's totally cool.

    Check your bill carefully. 2 times overcharged for items never received. A fun place, it is a shame that it seem the norm to over charge.

    We lucked into dinner at De Mar a Mar because it was close to our hotel on a rainy Tuesday…read morenight--what a lucky break! The cocktails were ridiculously creative (including ingredients like soursop juice, eucalyptus, charred pineapple, worm salt, basil, cucumber etc--obviously not all in the same cocktail), and served in dramatic glasses with fun garnishes. In terms of food, we were four people and we shared four starters (yellow-fin ceviche, kampacho and blue fin sashimi (which they call laminadas), and a shrimp "envelope"--each one was remarkable, and served with flavorful sauces that complimented the dish. Our mains were also good, though not as spectacular--they offer Catch of the Day (mahi mahi today) prepared in three different styles. The plain one (pan seared with shallot butter) was nothing special, but the option served over spinach with a cream sauce was incredible. The grilled shrimp main was also excellent as was the chocolaty dessert. Overall a delightful meal with excellent service and cocktails!

    I was a little worried about how the food would turn out given the location (there's a California…read morePizza Kitchen across the street). Turns out everything we had was really fresh and delicious. Personal favorites were the Camarones al Ajillo, the Pulpo, the Yellowfin ceviche, the Mahi-mahi, and the suckling pig. Which was basically most of what we ordered... Taking off a star because there were a few options on the menu that weren't available, which was a little disappointing. And despite how delicious everything was, it was all fairly simple and traditional, without much wow factor to account for the higher prices. The service was fantastic as well, however, so this is a definite recommend!

On our last night he said we are going to a fabulous authentic Mexican restaurant. A 2 minute walk from the hotel brought us to Las Mercedes. The service is impeccable and the menu is diverse an authentic drawing from different regions of Mexico. Our waiter spent a considerable amount of time with us describing the dishes of interest to us. I finally said pork and spicy please. Our appetizers included beef and veggie tacos. My dining companion had the blackened red snapper and I had the shredded pork cooked in banana leaves homemade corn tortillas accompanied my dish. To be honest I could have ordered a dozen more menu offerings as each looked fabulous. If you are in the area this is a must for dinner or even brunch. 6 Yelp Stars!

They knocked down walls to adjoin all apartments on each floor, gutted them out, and placed dinning areas throughout. So you walk in and they tell you to go to the 2nd or 3rd floor and pick a table. That table can be in the past living room or past kitchen of an apartment. So cool! The whole ground floor is the kitchen and prep area. The front entrance is thru a open door between two taco stands, the door leads you into the past patio/common area of the apartments. There is no signs in the entrance, just flag an employee down in the patio area and they'll direct you to an open floor.
