    Great cocktails
    Stuart B.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    La comida es increíble y el servicio es genial. Llegamos con un grupo de 10 personas y nos sentaron a todos juntos. La comida es auténtica, el ambiente es divertido y orgánico. 10/10

    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.

    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!

    Tuna taco (must!)
    Julia F.

    Absolutely loved this place! It's upstairs an unmarked staircase but the main room has high ceilings and great natural light. The tuna tacos are phenomenal (and huge portions) and the mezcal drinks are great!

    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.

    Hungry G.

    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.

    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!

    La Capital was a great dinner stop--just wish we'd had more time to fully enjoy it. We popped in on…read morea bit of a time crunch on our way to a Lucha Libre show, so we had to skip several tempting dishes marked on the menu as taking longer to prepare. That said, I really appreciated how clearly those items were labeled--it set expectations upfront and made ordering easier given our schedule. The space itself is beautiful with an open, airy ambience that immediately sets the tone. We were started off with complimentary crispy tortillas served with both red and green salsas--a simple but very welcome touch. For food, my kids ordered the lime soup and the penne al chipotle, both of which they really enjoyed. My husband and I went for the tortas: he chose the Bacalao a la Veracruzana and I had the Cangrejo de Concha Suave. Both were delicious, with a unique twist on the classic flavors. My husband also had a cocktail that he loved. Overall, a solid experience with great food and atmosphere. This is definitely a place I'd return to when I can slow down and savor it properly.

The first time we came in shortly before closing but they were more than accommodating and sat us down right away. This is a fine dining experience and it is really cool to be able to watch the kitchen and chef at work from your table. I can highly recommend the Guac- love the little touch of pomegranate and the variety of chips to dip, the chicken lime soup was a hit with our 1.5 year old, the beet salad was delicious and the sea bass cooked to perfection. For mothers day I treated myself to a house margarita and it was delish. We also tried not one but two desserts this time, the chocolate cake with ice cream and the soursop jelly, both divine! I was excited having just learned about the soursop fruit, and how many nutritional benefits there are- make sure you give it a try if you're into pudding desserts. The next time we tried some of the same things and some new things- steak, roasted chicken, cauliflower with mole sauce (the mole sauce here was perfection) mushroom soup and the house lemonade. All fantastic, and the presentation is wonderful. We ended the evening with the hot chocolate cake which was the perfect balance of chocolate paired with ice cream- note that this dessert does take some time to prepare fresh. Planning to come back here if I am ever in the area again!

No music beyond the 2 guitar player going around table to table to see if you wanted a serenade. Skipped their offer 1st time around. Pretty quiet, bright and clean. Found that waiter spoke a little English and with our little Spanish got things done. Menus are bilingual Spanish-English. Ordered 4 lamb tacos, chile en nogada, cooked chicken in green sauce and a fish dish (forgot name, little spicy) then a coke, horchata and a pineapple drink. We got chips, cheese, sauce while waiting. Those were all nicely done but average. Dishes out maybe 10 min later. All presented well and hot. We shared each dish. Lamb tacos nicely done, little dry, but they give you some guacamole, a brown sauce, along with the green sauce and cheese with the tortilla chips. Nice, not fatty. Next was the chiles en nogada. First time tried this and really enjoyed, many flavors and nicely flavored beef. In general little on sweet side, so probably couldn't eat more than 1. The chicken in green sauce was a homey, comfort food. Nicely cooked chicken leg and thigh was an ever so slightly spicy sauce. Also came with tortilla wraps and Spanish riceLastly was the spicy baked fish. Done well, fell apart pretty easily, was spicy, but not too much. Had green beans on side done well, not too soft or hard, and Spanish rice. Drinks were all a hit. Coke is coke. Horchata and pineapple juice served in big mugs. Pineapple tastes freshly squeezed and horchata was a super solid example in every way. Oh almost forgot, later in the meal we figured out how to get the 2 guitar fellows to play for us. 2 songs for 300 peso, about 7min total. They did a good job with both the guitar and singing, was enjoyable to listen to them. Would stop back again if in area.

We tried the croissant sandwich, salmon deli nut sandwich, chutney mango deli sandwich, santos ahogados, fig chipotle deli sandwich, pear honey deli sandwich, and the spicy tuna deli sandwich.

With such a wide menu, you're guaranteed to find something you'll love--and very likely come back for more. Highly recommend!
