3.5 stars. Located walking distance from the Airbnb we were staying at, my friend and I clocked some "girl time" over drinks at Mano Santa. It was empty when we arrived, but the waitress working that day quickly got us situated at a high top table on the front patio. Service was great (she's super hard-working) and it helped that she spoke a little English.
We both ordered a "Frida" cocktail, which is passion fruit flavored mezcal, mango juice, lemon, soda, salt, and pepper frost. Tasty! A little too sweet and not very strong but that's been my experience with drinks in CDMX. Also got two chapulines and guacamole tacos. Never had grasshopper before. I liked it, except for the fact that I got food poisoning afterwards.
Despite feeling sick from the tacos (or maybe from the cocktail ingredients) I really did enjoy Mano Santa. It's a cute little bar off the side of the street that becomes more popular as the evening progresses. I'd actually come back and try this place again, then pray nothing bad happens to my body. Stop by for the vibes, drink, and tacos! read more
