We decided to come here for dinner the last night because it was always so packed when we walked by. I realize after going it may be because of the ambiance/value. For two people with drinks and an app it was around $30 USD. very affordable. The pizza was ok, i really just think the dough could have been cooked for longer since it was doughy and fluffy rather than crispy on the bottom.

Slice of their pepperoni + olive pizza; Mangorita.

Lovely neighborhood spot offering happy hour, cocktails, mocktails and really delicious pizza. Gets louder as the night goes on. Loved the attentive and friendly service at the bar.

Hawaiin Pizza

One of my favorite spots in all of Mexico City. The outside area is very big and the ambiance is great since you can take in the city life, still under shade. Service was good as well, got sat quickly and they were very attentive with everything. Their food is what really stood out though. The salad, with unique ingredients really put it over the edge. I was able to modify the spaghetti, to have bolognese sauce, and it was phenomenal. Best Italian food I had in the city.

This restaurant is very close to where we were having meetings, and it looked like a good place when I walked past. So I called my wife and told here to come on over. We sat in the shade at a table along the sidewalk, and I noticed the couple next to is eating a pizza, and I could tell that this thing was huge. They have 18 different specialty pizzas to choose from, and each one of those seemed tempting from the menu description. We voted to get the Chikana Pizza which had Pollo empanizado among other toppings. The sauce was their own special blend, and they also added mozzarella cheese. She ordered a leamonaide to drink, and I got the orange juice drink. We actually had a. Our of different servers help us, and they all worked together as a team. This is a really nice restaurant with a complete bar, and we enjoyed the dinner.

Shrimp pizza without cherry tomatoes

While the empanadas are amazing with their side sauces, although, I have an obsession with their shrimp pizza. It's a simple pizza but every bite makes you crave more. I typically order all of my food off Rappi or I do pick up orders. However, the location is nestled nicely in the condesa area. It's an open restaurant concept which is great for covid protocol measures. The service is always fast and the employees truly cater to your needs.

Pro--the pizza was really good. I do want to give them props for that. Excellent crust and the…read morecheese was perfectly placed to balance with each bite. As far as food goes--this place was great. Con--the service staff was kind but lingered near our table for basically the entire dinner. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we went so maybe they were looking for things to do but it made our experience really uncomfortable. At multiple points throughout the dinner, I could've reached out and held hands with staff members hanging near our table with eyes locked on us while we tried to enjoy dinner with our kids. I'm not sure if this is a directive from management; but it was overbearing and made us uncomfortable. It went beyond the type of attentive service that might be a positive--it made our experience worse despite the food being really good. I'm not sure if it's always like this, but I do think it's important to note, especially given that many other restaurants in CDMX have almost the opposite attitude where they leave you alone until you flag them down. This was the pendulum swinging too far the other direction.

My friends and I spent 10 days in CDMX, and this ended up being our least favorite meal of the trip. None of the dishes were bad, but it really wasn't anything to write home about either. There wasn't a single item that felt memorable or worth going back for. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a solid 6.5. Given the incredible food scene in CDMX and the price point here, this is a place I'd likely skip in the future.

Went into Rosetta with high expectations and it absolutely delivered…read more Every dish felt intentional. Not flashy for the sake of it, just really thoughtful cooking where the ingredients actually get to speak. The seasoning was dialed in across the board, which is usually where places like this can miss, but they didn't. Everything tasted clean, balanced, and precise. Technique was clearly there, but never forced. Nothing felt overworked or trying too hard to impress. It's the kind of meal where you realize halfway through that you're just enjoying everything without overanalyzing it. Wine list deserves a callout too. Really well curated, with options that pair naturally with the food instead of overpowering it. This is one of those spots that doesn't try to wow you with intensity. It wins you over with restraint and execution. And when it's done this well, that's more impressive. Would absolutely go back.
