Friendly late night joint, Bay Area proofing Tacos are all decent, the one that stands out is emlaura which contains shrimp, sweet onions and a creamy cheese which my daughter and I liked very much Salad obispo had a good variety of ingredients however it was overly salted. I liked the smokey taste The best things here were the mezcal cocktails: Labios rojos y viaje ancestral were both good Overall the trendy atmosphere and the late night offerings are solid. It's not the most legit, but nothing is bad. Nice safe option, though expensive for CDMX read more

Our guide recommended this place to us, and Páramo didn't disappoint. We had ceviche and tacos (cauliflower, mushroom, chicken for my wife; and pork, and beef for me), and were very pleased with our meal. Plus, some good mezcal cocktails. read more

Really fun and happening restaurant with an upstairs bar and dining area. Eclectic and colorful decor. The service was busy but attentive and on point. Great cocktails. It can get very loud and the food is excellent. Take the long staircase upstairs and if you can manage to snag the little balcony to the left of the bar with standing room only, grab it! It's fun to have a drink from the bar and look out over the street life as you wait for your table. I was there on a busy Friday night without reservations and we got a table in about 10 minutes. I tried the quesadillas with "Menonita Cheese" which were delicious for an appetizer; there are 3 medium size tortillas folded with melted cheese; it's flavorful and kind of like a mild manchego. I didn't try the tacos, but they looked incredible. For the main course my party of 2 shared a "Cazuelo La Muñeca " which comes with tortillas and a chamorro (pork shank); you can make your own tacos. It was perfectly cooked, not fatty at all and absolutely delicious. This is a great place to go with friends or a date if you want to have a fun night out on a weekend because it has a trendy "Roma Norte" crowd, it's buzzing with a happy atmosphere and the food is really good. read more

One of the more popular spots for a high-caliber cocktail program, creative tacos, and posh environs in the Roma-Condessa area, Paramo can get a bit crowded even on a weekday evening, so come prepared to wait. While not every dish was perfect, some of the options were spectacular. Our favorite was the vegetarian taco served with a lovely bean-mushroom paste blended finely with an umami-rich mole sauce. It filled the gap of richness often found in vegetarian tacos. read more

Very nice ambiance and very nice service but that's about it! The decor here is lovely, there's so many plants and a lot of different frames along with many handicrafts. Among the 4 different tacos we ordered, only the shrimp taco was good. I agree with the other reviews that talked about food being meh. We did not get any drinks as we stopped by for dinner after drinks elsewhere. The dessert was alright, but surprisingly my husband loved it! read more

We heard about this place from a guy sitting next to us on our flight coming to Mexico. As he described it to us, it was intriguing, in that there is no name posted, so you just go up the stairs and then you are there. The food and drinks were good. We enjoyed it enough the first time to want to go again. Each time I had one of the salads, which were very tasty. There's no beer on tap, so I had to settle for bottled beer. My partner got a margarita each time and raved about it. Overall, it's a treat to eat there. I'd recommend it for a special occasion. Considering typical prices in Mexico City, it was on the higher end of the scale, about $50 US for the two of us. read more

Fantastic tacos, good service, refilled salsa/limes at no cost. Was a bit crowded and hard to find (no sign, just need to go up the unlabeled stairs), but overall was a fantastic meal. I got the classic pork taco (first on the taco menu) and ended up ordering more because of how juicy and delicious it was. Guac was really good and pretty inexpensive ($58 MXN I believe). Definitely worth a stop while you are in CDMX! read more

Tacos were SO good, there was such a big variety. Wish I could've tried more! We got a Mezcal based sour to drink and started with the ceviche - it was so fresh and delicious / the tuna was amazing! We each got an octopus and beef taco, they were so flavorful! To wrap up the meal we got the quesadilla (came with 3 pieces). We each got one piece and were stuffed! The ambiance is very intimate and fun, lively crowd! read more

The vibes here are IMMACULATE, it's very unassuming from the outside but once you get upstairs you feel as if you're transported to another world I don't even remember exactly what we ordered, but I just know that I had one of the best ceviches I've ever had here. We tried two different ceviches - one tuna and another I can't remember - but the depth of flavor was incredible. We were able to try several different tacos off the menu and they were very hit or miss - some of them were really unique and flavorful while others were a bit bland. Generally, I felt like the ceviche was more worth here as there are dozens of other places you can get better tacos in CDMX. I would definitely come back next time I'm in CDMX read more

I wish this went differently but it sucked. The "vibes" and scene are cool but it stops there. The service was bad, the order was wrong for us (and the table next to us) and the food came out cold. To add insult to injury I got physically pulled by my shirt as I entered the bathroom bc they thought I was going into the wrong bathroom. Spoiler alert: I'm in my 40s and know where im supposed to be. The drinks were good? I explained to one of the 5 servers who talked to us what happened with the order and that we'd like to leave and they presented us with the full bill... of food we didn't eat... and I paid and left. Anyway not a great experience - grabbing a pizza on the way home. read more

Páramo - Guacamole, arrow, quesadilla, frijoles - Mexican Near Me - México, D.F., DIF

We found this place on Google after wandering around the Roma Norte neighborhood for awhile. The restaurant is located on a higher floor and there is only a sandwich board with on the street with the restaurant name. I think the restaurant is divided into multiple rooms, but the room we were in was packed and tables were VERY close to their neighbors (not for the COVID-conscious). I asked the waiter which tacos were the most popular and he suggested one with tuna, one called la muñeca (I think) and the San Diego (chicken). The muñeca and taco with tuna were delicious - the meats were cooked perfectly and each taco was well-seasoned. The San Diego (chicken) taco, however, was a disappointment. The chicken was over cooked and dried out, and no amount of salsa could save it. The total bill came out to be closer to American pricing, but the food overall was good, so worth a try if you're in the neighborhood and willing to spend the money. read more

Very kind and friendly service. Food is good and you don't need reservations, you can wait in the bar while there is space. Duck was one of the plate that it is their main menu, it is food. But I would say cazuelas are the best, give it a try! read more

I had high hopes for this restaurant, but it was just ok. It's a very touristy spot with many customer speaking English. My Mezcal Pepino cocktail was pretty good and it was well balanced with the smokiness of the mezcal and the freshness of the cucumber. For food I ordered the Taco Xochimilco, Taco La Poblana, and Taco Emalaura. All 3 tacos were ok, but as I mentioned there was nothing special about them. The service was good and the staff were all very nice. I definitely feel there are better restaurants in Mexico City. read more

Hidden gem with excellent service and quality dining experience without being pretentious. The Mezcal cocktails were to die for and the ambiance was delightful. There were mostly locals there meaning that it's a bit of a secret local spot. If you're not sure what to order you can order different taco flavors and make your own sampler. The ingredients and presentation are quality. read more

When Páramo is busy, don't let the wait time for a table deter you from eating here. Our party of four waited about 40 minutes for a table. Let me tell you it was worth the wait. While waiting for a table we were able to order drinks at the bar across the hall from the dining room. The drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the labios rojos. I. Any recall exactly what we ordered, but it was all flavorful, well prepared, and delicious. Go now! read more

I planned a 40th bday weekend for a group of 30 friends all flying in from the states. José went above and beyond in helping me organize a private room, prix fixed menu, and all the amazing details that made the evening beyond special. They were accommodating beyond whats normal, and their attention to detail certainly made it the most memorable evening ever. Thank you Páramo and more specifically José for your thoughtfulness and excellence!!! Shout out to Juan Carlos for overseeing flawless service. Omg and i didn't even comment yet how delicious all the food and drinks were -- ten out of ten. COULD NOT RECOMMEND MORE! read more

This restaurant is a must for anyone visiting CDMX. It's a little hidden upstairs but once you are there, you feel like you're in solarium. The menu is extensive, the tacos and cocktails are delicious, and the service is truly unbelievably good. When I thought I might have lost my wallet the servers went way out of their way to look for it and check the surveillance video. I ended up finding it, but I was so moved because this level of care is not something I've ever experienced in the states. Thank you Páramo for an unforgettable meal, and an unforgettable experience. read more

Let me start by saying I had the best tuna ceviche ever. Wow. I could have eaten 3 portions. So fresh, so good, everything was amazing !!! This place is well hidden as you have to go upstairs to the restaurant to find it, and it gets crazy busy, as it should ! It is a sweet restaurant with great service, and they are very considerate of people waiting in line without reservations. Waited 45 minutes as was expected and killed time having some guacamole and delicious cocktails at the bar area. Trendy vibes and nice music, great for a date or an outing with friends. There are many regulars, saw staff greeting customers as if they were family. The food was nothing short of amazing. Fresh, lots of flavor, and overall just good ! The guacamole was simple and great ! Star of the show was the tuna ceviche. It was the best ceviche I've ever had in my life as mentioned above. The tacos were delicious, but the tuna one was my favorite ! A lovely restaurant, I can't wait to go back ! read more

Anytime I can be in another country and hear The Smiths "How Soon Is Now," playing while I eat...it's almost guaranteed that I had a good time. The rain almost stopped us from finding the restaurant on foot, but we made it and quickly walked upstairs to find a well lit, lively place. Service was attentive and the food was very good. I had (surprise!) TACOS. My reason for giving four stars instead of five is mainly because I've had more tacos throughout Mexico City that were half the price. The tradeoff is that sometimes you pay for atmosphere and a beautiful space, which Páramo certainly has. read more

Interesting, intriguing and special is what I can call Páramo. While staying at a BnB in the neighborhood of Roma Norte in CDMX, we were always on the lookout for close by eateries, cafés, coffee shops and bakeries. This one hit the spot in oh so many ways! It turns out to be one you don't appreciate from outside off hand, as it's somewhat obscure but once you enter, Wow! We ventured in. It turns out, Páramo is a sophisticated eatery and cocktail lounge with uncommon, fine and beautiful woodwork, table settings, an amazing bar with an incredible display of alcohol, reminiscent of San Francisco's Pied Piper Bar (but much smaller). This sophisticated eatery shows its stance not only in looks, but in its menu offerings, elite service and professional presentations. Apparently, they are also unique in the types and styles of Mexican fare offered. We started with Pulque de Orumba, an incredibly unique alcoholic drink made from maguey and a few beers for those more timid in our group. We decided to go whole hog into experimenting with traditional and distinctive flavors not normally found in U.S. Mexican restos. We ordered a Sobe de Nopal con Hummus de Aguacate (Prickly Pear Soup with Avocado Hummus) this was fascinatingly good! Also, we went for a Tamal de Frijol con Mole Almendrado (Bean Tamale with Almond Mole) - you want unique, this is it - it was fantastic. The flavors were exciting without being overwhelming and also delicious. Next came the Taco de Huevo de Codorniz con arroz negro (Quail Egg Taco with Black Rice), again, fab beyond explanation. I was enchanted by the uniqueness, the exoticness and deliciousness of these uncommon (to us) dishes. Our group experienced much more that evening, too much to include here. The crux of the matter is, that we were extremely elated to discover the Páramo experience when we did, as it turned out to be one of the top ten restaurants we visited and experienced while staying in Roma Norte. If you're ever in the vicinity, this is a must stop, as you will never regret it. read more

Full of Americans. Service was lagging to the point we didn't get more tacos. Came to Mexico for a couple of weeks two years ago and went several times...world of difference between the two visits...it was much much better before. American tourists, keep coming!! The place is ruined already so make it worse with your visits. read more

It s a favorite of locals. At least that's both our tour guides told us. And we actually ran into our e-bike tour guide at the restaurant so that was a good sign. No reservations. So be prepared to wait for anywhere between 30-60 mins. They have a tiny bar where you can get some drinks while you wait. They have 3 different eating areas. On sundays they open at 7:00pm and open till 2:00am. It's in the Roma Norte section of the town. After ordering our food, we had to wait a while to get our tacos and unfortunately they arrived cold. I deducted a star for that. I got their pork shoulder based on the recommendation from the server and it was good. Also has the fried white fish tacos that was great if it was warm. I also got the chorizo tacos. Definitely stay away, the chorizo was dry and I almost chocked on it. It has spicy potatoes in it that gave it great flavor. I also got the shrimp ceviche and guacamole that was great. For me it ended up being 3.5 stars but if your food arrives warm, then it can be a 4 star place. Good mix of tourists and locals. read more

Well we waited with no reservation for 30-40 min on a Tuesday night so show up early like 7pm when they open. tacos were very generously portioned. Try not to over order here. the Duck was amazing the Hibiscus too, we got the tuna and the wild boar( not so good) texture was on point drinks were great. I highly recommend this place as a do not miss for taco lovers. read more

I really really really wanted to love this place based on previous reviews, however there is truly no excuse for the poor quality of food. My friends and I waited more than 2 hours for a table, but I wont complain about that because it was busy. The tacos we ordered were not appetizing at all, and one of them had completely raw chicken (see photo). Me and my friend are sick with food poisoning. That being said, the service was decent and I really liked the ceviche. read more

Mexico City has some of the best food on Earth. Next time people are comfortable traveling again, please do you and whoever your with a favor and take your tastebuds to Paramo. This place is a culinary hotspot, serving up delicious tacos (meat, vegan, or otherwise) and cocktails that can keep you happy all night. The ambience and music is dope as well.

We could've eaten here everyone of our 4 nights in Mexico City. The tacos were delicious - we tried so many it's hard to list. Highly recommend the mezcal cocktails....and a sampling of mezcals... Also, the service was sweet, setting gorgeous. Purpose spot to get marooned in a downpour! read more

Review for service only. We arrived at 8:45pm and was told it would be a quick wait. There was only one other person waiting by the hostess, so all seemed promising. Cue 45 minutes later, and all the staff running around like chickens with their heads cut off, and we checked in again - there were 11 groups ahead of us (obviously not disclosed when we arrived). On top of that, there was an endless parade of drunk, pushy hipsters entering while we waited. No one was communicated with and there was generally an air of confusion. We eventually left (after 50 minutes) and had amazing tacos down the road. Not worth such a douchey atmosphere when there's so much amazing food in CDMX. read more

Just skip it. Food and drinks are way below average. Service is just horrible. We were quickly seated into a cozy dining room, followed by poorly made ceviche, soggy and flavorless tacos, and the banana dessert was just a bad take on bread pudding. read more
