    BBQ

    Very cool concept, I was missing a good bbq like the one in Austin and this was the closest I have found so far, so It felt good, the environment as well as the food and dessert are great!

    Food: 3.5 of 5 Cleanliness: 4 of 5 Atmosphere: 4.5 of 5 Service: 4 of 5 Value: 3.5 of 5 I have to start with, I am from Texas (the bbq capital of the world) so my standards are very high. Recommendations: Ribs Brisket Beans Potato Salad BBQ Sauce Not Impressed: Sausage Mac and Cheese Love the vibe and aesthetics of the establishment. Really does feel like someone's awesome backyard.

    Yesterday we visited and you can smell the BBQ from outside. It smells YUMMY! There's a lot of seating and it may look a bit intimidating when you first walk in. How does it work? Where to sit? There's people everywhere! But it's super easy! While waiting in line there was a super nice and friendly employee. We asked how'd things work.. He said grab a tray and check the menu that's on BIG chalk boards.. tell them what type of meat you want and how much of it, you'd like. They weigh it in front of you and you keep going down the line. Picking your sides and lastly your drink. Employees were super patient and not pushy while we were deciding. We appreciated that! If you purchase Beer- they'll give you a ticket and around the corner a bartender will pour your alcoholic beverage. Super cool set up they have Picnic tables everywhere! As soon as you're ready to sit an employee is right there, ready to help seat you. Each table fits easily 6 people. If it's just a couple- you'll share a table with another couple. It's Super cool and HEY maybe you'll make some friends. But EVERYONE was super friendly! Customers and employees! It was just a cool vibe here. Really enjoyed ourselves. The two of us (myself & Boyfriend) Spent a little over $600 Pesos - $30 USD (Not Bad- it included their tip) His plate Brisket, Mac & Cheese, 2 rolls, Bbq beans and a Craft Beer I got Pulled pork, Mac & Cheese, bbq beans, roll and refillable soda cup. Both meats were SUPER GOOD! Moist, flavorful, meat fell apart and they offer little cups for extra sauce. Mac & cheese was good! But I did take a star off because the BBQ Beans was such a let down, sadly! Besides the meat, I was really looking forward to trying the BBQ beans and from their website.. the beans looked so good! Yet, in reality it was soggy, very watery- you can't even see Beans in the pictures I took There's a reasonable array of different meats to choose from. Sides- Mac & cheese, coleslaw, potato salad and BBQ beans I'll definitely be back here! They have English Comedy night EVERY FIRST THURSDAY of each month Can't wait to go!

    My beautiful wife and our food !

    By far the BEST BBQ IN CDMX !!! Came in from Los Angeles .The ribs fell off the bone , the brisket was so soft ! The pulled pork was moist and so tasty ! To top it off , how can you beat an 85 peso double IPA ???? Would recommend to anyone in town to stop in ! We will be back !!!

    Asi deje mi plato despues de las costillas...

    Desde que entramos se siente un lugar calido y agusto para comer, pedimos de todo para probar y el cuate que sirve nos pregunto si era nuestra primera vez. Nos regalo un poquito de todo para que probaramos, nos inclinamos por las costillas y el brisquet. Nooooo tieeeeenen madre, esta buenisimo, muy bien servido y con unas cervezota alado esta especial para venir a comer una buena bbq. Ampliamente recomendable, riquisimo. Si estas leyendo esta reseña deja de leer y lanzate pide las costillas no te vas a arrepentir aaaaaa y de side dish pide los frijoles wooow.

    BBQ away from the traditional bastions of BBQ in Texas or "down south" is not always very successful. Pinche Gringo really brought the essence, soul, and taste of the BBQ experience south of the border. If you are like me, a gringo, and looking for something very different and not like home, then this may not be your best option, but if you are homesick for familiar tasting food, then this place is worth it. The food is good, and it is fun. A word of warning, unless you enjoy self-deprecating humor as I do, then asking the details of what the name means, may not be a good idea. And don't ask about President James K Polk. The neighborhood is very interesting as well, and not far from centro DF.

    Best option to get a delicious bbq in an American style way! Pulled pork is my favorite and the classic potato salad and coleslaw sides. Great variety of crafted beer and don't forget to try the apple pie, it's awesome.

    El brisket es la especialidad, pero aquí tofo esta deli. La cosaco roja es la cerveza a probar. Ven con tiempo porque seguro te toca fila.

    One of the best smoked barbecues in town, with a traditional American style. It even brew its own beer.

We knew immediately we weren't the only ones with that idea. The place was busy, with a line of people putting their names down for a table. It definitely has that destination-restaurant energy. Once we were seated, we ordered several things to share. We tried a mix of fried bites, including croquetas, shrimp, and stuffed squash blossoms. The croquetas were crisp and rich, and the squash blossoms were one of the more interesting things on the table. We also ordered pizza. The crust had a nice char and chew, and the toppings were generous. I enjoyed it, although a couple of my coworkers were a little less enthusiastic. For me, the smaller plates stood out more. The room was lively, and the mix of vintage plates, copper-toned tables, and simple details gave the space a lot of personality. I also liked how naturally the menu lent itself to passing plates around and trying a little of everything. I'm glad we checked it out, especially because Lardo comes up often when people talk about eating in Mexico City. I'd happily come back and explore more of the smaller plates.

    I came to Maque after seeing so many great reviews on TikTok and Yelp and was really excited to try…read moreit for lunch. It was surprisingly empty for a Monday, so we thought it would be a great time to visit. We were seated and placed our order at 1:21 PM. Our drinks didn't arrive until about 20 minutes later, and our food took nearly 50 minutes. The timing was especially frustrating because there were very few people dining at the time. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and the food was actually really good. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed the experience. During the wait, none of the staff checked in on us, apologized for the delay, or gave us any updates. Instead, several employees were sitting on their phones while we waited. To make matters worse, another group that was seated after us received their food in about 15 minutes. I'm not someone who usually leaves negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing enough that I felt it was worth sharing. I'm hoping this was just an off day because the food has a lot of potential. As it stands, I'm not sure I'd recommend it or return the next time I'm in Mexico City.

There are plenty of other places to eat in the neighborhood, but we saw Maque Café with its outdoor seating near a fountain and among numerous trees and we were sold. The menu is simple and clean (with items leaning towards European while still having Mexican cuisine options) with lots of healthier options. I ordered a chicken breast stuffed with goat cheese in a tamarind sauce with some healthy grains and steamed vegetables. It was exactly the kind of light dish I hoping for, and I really enjoyed it with a freshly squeezed juice and a coffee. The service was good, and it was just a lovely place to enjoy a meal in San Ángel - the kind of place I'd love to sit with a book and relax for a few hours! I'd be happy to return.
