We stumbled into Merkava after flying into CDMX. Our Airbnb was not available yet so we wanted a…read morecomfortable, air conditioned restaurant where we could kill at least 1.5 hours. Merkava is a beautiful little restaurant in La Condesa with both indoor and outdoor seating. As mentioned, we were tired from traveling and picked the cool, indoor seating and enjoyed the nice decor. We started with hummus and, not realizing it came with pita, also ordered the house bread. The hummus was a huge portion, enough to feed a group of 7-8 and came with a pouch of several warm pitas. The hummus was homemade and a bit chunky. The house bread was even better, coils of bread with tahini butter, serrano chili oil, and a tomato cumin sauce. The bread was fantastic, warm from being freshly baked and with buttery layers and the variety of dipping sauces was pleasant for dipping. A show-stopper of a dish was the whole roasted cauliflower served with zaatar, yogurt, and mint. Our head was cut into manageable portions for us, but interestingly, they served the adjacent table with a whole head for a more dramatic presentation. The cauliflower was tender and its mild flavor was enhanced by the zaatar spices. The fish of the day was the better of the two entrees. We liked the sauteed vegetables with lentils that it was served with, much like a ratatouille with lentils, along with a parsley sauce and grilled lemon. The wagyu kebabs were an odd texture, crumbled and dry. The restaurant provided a complimentary bite of dessert, a fruit (date, apricot) baklava of sorts that was a sweet bite to end the meal. All in all, we had a good meal at Merkava.

Started the meal with a romaine salad, to which I asked to add a side of grilled chicken. The chicken was grilled to a wonderful golden point, and the seasoning of the salad went along perfectly with the almonds on it. The crispy pork (Lechón lechal) was sublimely tender. In fact, the cubes were perfectly crisped, and yet the meat broke down like silk when cut. The complement of the red wine soaked pear, the sweet potato purée, and the dried fruits made this a light and satisfying meal, bite after bite! I had a seriously hard time trying to pick a dessert from so many great choices! Ultimately I went for the pistachio cake with passion fruit sauce, because by then I already trusted that every offering in this place is thoughtfully put together, and I wanted to try out something less pedestrian than a chocolate cake Finally, as if I hadn't been convinced this place was superb, towards the end of the meal, a chef committee review was held in a corner of the dining area. The comments by the judges were just as complimentary as my own... and I wasn't disappointed. The flavor composition was superb! Combining the cake with the mango ice sorbet made for a rich and refreshing flavor! The roasted nuts gave an extra crunch to some forkfuls, adding variety to an already succulent and creative end of meal! Without a doubt a great place to enjoy a superb meal!

However, at…read morethe end of the meal the waiter blew a snot rocket, wiped his nose with the back of his hand then came to our table and removed a few empty plates. Then, later that evening I got sick and I have been sick for two days. Nausea, vomiting and the like. All I can think about is if he was so comfortable with that level of uncleanliness in front of customers then what does he do in private. I guess my advice would be IF you want to try this place, don't order anything uncooked and hopefully there's different staff.

The dishes are classic Italian pastas and entrées with lots of choices. My husband got Pasta Bolognese and I ordered Spinach Cannelloni--both very good. We got a piece of lasagne to go for a midnight snack during our stay and it was delicious too! We went back a second night and we tried one of the unique polenta dishes they have created and it was super-yummy. We had a couple salads that were excellent as well. The staff was more than friendly and treated us well. All at a reasonable cost compared to the US.

We took Beef Tartar for appetizer. It looked like they have it in France except for it was served with hard toasts instead of hot fries. And tasted more like a fish tartar, what I mean is that they marinated the meat with too much of lemon juice and other ingredients that go better for the fish dishes and covered the flavor of the meat here. I'd put more olive oil, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and an egg yolk, no any lemon at all. Paella with all peeled seafood was delicious. Good amount of shrimps, fish, mussels, clams and even octopus -all fresh and soft. I think they used not Arborio rice, but it looked like Jasmin rice to me. And added roasted bell peppers gave more aromas to the dish. Filet with a Roquefort sauce was tender and mild, delicate flavor, cooked to our liking - rare. It was served with grilled vegetables. They have a lot of traditional Spanish tapas, such as Pulpo a la gallega (octopus), calamari, manchego cheese, jamon, fuet etc. As well as Mediterranean style main courses: pastas, paellas, fish, seafood, poultry and meat. All that we ordered was savory, sapid and yummy. Desserts were on a tray in display. Among rice pudding, Crème Brule, chocolate tart etc - we chose traditional cheese cake. It was very appetizing. Service attentive and well-timed.
