A few months back I was in Mexico City with a buddy and we decided to go all out and splurge on a meal rather than eat cheap street food. Our Internet searching brought us to Bowie, where a splurge on a 7 course tasting menu ran us 490 pesos, or a mere $25. I made a photo collage from the entire menu, but it doesn't even do it justice. Most courses were brought out and presented in a smoky glass being removed from your plate, and the flavor of everything was really good... it wasn't _just_ the presentation. We left feeling full but not stuffed, and I remember enjoying every course. The best presentation was the dessert, where the smores were done tableside with a blowtorch. You really wouldn't think this would be such a fun & enjoyable meal from the looks of the restaurant, so thank you Yelp for helping me find a great meal for a really reasonable price. read more

I made reservations for Bowie based on the great reviews. We were free the evening before our reservation so we dropped in to eat without a reservation (it was early enough there wasn't a wait), and after some broken Spanish and comical hand gesturing we canceled our initial reservation. I ordered the grilled bone marrow and my friend got the grilled octopus. Amazing presentation on the octopus, served on its own cute little barbecue grill still smoking away. I think it was mole that accompanied the octopus on the plate...whatever it was it was delicious and my favorite thing from Bowie. The bone marrow portion was very generous and came with unlimited tortillas. However, I found it to be just a little too greasy for me. The drinks and ambience were great and service was impeccable. I would definitely recommend and be back for the octopus and drinks. read more

I was so pleased with the menu options at Bowie that I decided to get the seasonal tasting menu. The menu consisted of the following: Beet Carpaccio: thinly sliced beet with goat cheese, almond slices and Spinach. This was fantastic. Raw vegetables with Lebanese dips: carrots, and other veggies with basically 3 different Hummus flavors. This was a okay, nothing special. Truffled steak tartar: this was tasty, involved mushrooms and celery. Still not anything exciting. Carbonara fettuccini with smoked pork belly: now this! This was mind blowing pasta. A perfect blend of ingredients, Unami. Short Rib (cooked for 36 hours) : this had a bourbon reduction, served with pumpkin. A fantastic combination, melt in your mouth beef. S'mores: torched at the table, very tasty. Cheese tray: Very pungent cheese. My favorite. All said, I was very pleased with Bowie. The service was not so good, and they did not speak English at all. They had an English menu, but they could not read it. I do not expect that everyone speak my language (and I speak a bit of Spanish) but if you give me a menu in English, you should know what it says. read more

I reallllly enjoyed my dinner at Bowie, and so did the rest of our group Their menu is pretty vegetarian/ pescatarian friendly. I ordered all four of the vegetable dishes on the menu, and all were impeccable. The drinks were also tasty and unique. I'm surprised this place isn't more we known/ busy. I definitely recommend it! read more

Fine dining in the Roma section of Mexico City. Bowie offers smoked Bbq style local cuisine. The staff here are also awesome! They have a selection of fish and vegetable dishes too. I had the sea bass and it was magnificent. Enjoy-recommend. read more

Beautiful restaurant located on a side street with an open patio that was perfect for a drink. My michelada with extra lime was delicious and who can go wrong with Patron tequila? The guacamole was made table side by our waiter and was chunky and made with chiles, radish, cilantro, and plenty of lime. It was served with a basket of toasted corn tortillas which were perfect for dipping. The elote was a bit underwhelming as it had WAY TOO much of the spicy mayo sauce slathered on it and the kernals weren't so meaty. Be sure to ask for the sauce on the side! read more

We came to the restaurant with high hopes from previous Yelp reviews recommending the 7 course tasting menu. Overall, each dish (except for the s'mores) was largely disappointing. Beet carpaccio: The beet blended well with the goat cheese, but with the aioli, the whole thing felt too heavy. Raw vegetables with Lebanese dips: This scattered plate of raw carrots, dried mushrooms, and dips felt like something I would eat as a snack at home. Truffled steak tartar: The truffle was overpowered by the mustard. It was strange to have portobello mushrooms and dried mushrooms on top. Carbonara fettuccini with pork belly: The pork belly was overcooked and dry. The pasta was overly cheesy and not in a good way. Short rib: The rib could have used more salt and the pumpkin side had too much butter added. Smoked octopus tacos: There wasn't much flavor and the octopus tasted burnt. Tacos could have used either salsa or lime to make it less dry. S'mores: This was fun! I enjoyed when they blowtorched it at the table, and adding bananas to s'mores is a good idea. Cheese tray: The cheese was very strong, which some people might like. read more

Many, many times as an outsider, a spectator, i walked past Bowie Cocina and wondered what made it stand apart from say, any other restaurant, cocina, establishment? There are many little details that do stand out and that are worth noticing. First, the service, despite the complete hurried, upstart, and typical environment you'd expect of the ritziest restaurant found in Lomas, Polanco, and San Angel, the service is superb and attentive ot every movement within its doors. The variety of different textures is unique, example - the pumpkin pie, in the form of yes, cheese sticks, was - I was wondering if I ordered the wrong thing. Tempted to order the marshmallows that are cooked in front of you in a fast mode of Smores-over-a-fire, I am so satisfied with a pumpkin pie you can only imagine, but the taste as sweet with the cinnamon, you realize the texture is 100% different than any other location you could get pumpkin pie. The pechuga de pavo torta style and Guacamole definitely hit the spot, and you get to love the location as the traffic moves past you and you are able to take in a exquisite experience, fancy, yet relaxing, amid a hurried rhythm that is able to escape your table. read more

Bowie - Served with the freshest of fresh. - International Near Me - México, D.F., DIF

This place is a jewel tucked on a little side street of La Roma neighborhood in CDMX. Perfect vibe and a smoked menu that steps outside of the expected and serves it up with creativity and a twist, perhaps that's the reason behind the joint's name? Didn't ask. Back to the food... if you eat meat, try the bone marrow tacos, one portion is enough for two and you will brag to everyone about how good it was. Then wash it down with the mean cocktails on the menu or just let the bartender surprise you, you won't regret it. Salud! read more

A nice change from all the street food we've been eating the past few days. The chef has put some serious thought into creating an incredibly unique menu and everything we had was amazing. The caprese has caviar - the fish and chips were in a black batter with black mayo - incredible. Dessert we had a homemade ice cream and a version of s'mores..... wow. If I lived here this would be a regular spot for me. read more

Fantastic service! We randomly stumbled across this restaurant while walking through Roma. We were welcomed with open arms, they were patient with us because of the language barrier. Sergio was SUPER helpful...we will definitely be back!!! Check out the pictures!!!! read more

A real surprise and treat in Roma. Many drinks and dishes with a hint of smoke nuanced a delicious meal. We started with Pulpo ceviche in (I think..) a squid ink sauce that was sublime, spicy, tender, and beautifully balanced. My 24 hr cooked short rib was divine but my Wife's fish and chips- with a squid mayonnaise redefined the dish's name. The accent of elote with a fiery husk and spicy chipotle mayo was again redefining. We finished with bunuelos ( creatively named?) crispy sweet fried strips with dollops of black cherry flavored chocolate. Pricing is a terrific value, music excellent, and another memorable CDMX foodie experience! read more

A must! This place was great. Incredible space with a large picture of Bowie in the corner. The wine was mediocre but it doesn't matter because the food was excellent. I highly recommend the Bowie potatoes and smoked guacamole. It was one of the greatest meals Ive ever had in the DF read more

Ashes and smoke is the theme not only for dishes but also for drinks. A new concept with excellent food all around. The smoked octopus is a must but it doesn't end there, short rib chalupas, smoked Wellington beef and roasted bone marrow will not dissapoint. read more

While the food is really great at Bowie (and interesting), the waitstaff makes this place. They are fantastic. Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. I ordered the tasting menu with the accompanying cocktail menu (which equated to one beer and two glasses of wine). The first course was their beet carpaccio, which--as one would expect--arrived under a smoky dome. The goat cheese really picked up the smoked flavor. It was light and delicious (and reminded me a tiny bit of the beet purses at DILL in Reykjavik, Iceland--which I think was more or less about how thinly the beets were sliced). Second course: a trio of dips (baba ghanoush, hummus, and something else) with raw vegetables (under a smoked dome). The cucumber in particular picked up the smoke--it was quite nice. Third course: steak and portobello tartare, also under a smoked dome. It was good but not spectacular--and I think it's because it was a little warmer (temperature-wise) than I generally like my tartare. Fourth course was carbonara fettuccine with smoked pork belly. It was quite delicious and perfectly done, but perhaps a little too heavy for the progression. Next up was octopus with chorizo, chicharrón, and blue corn tortillas--really fantastic dish. The sixth course was smores, seared at the table. The smores came with raspberry sauce and sliced bananas. The bananas added something really special, which sounds weird--but it's genius to add thinly sliced bananas to smores. Finally, the cheese course. Three cheeses, all delicious. For a tasting menu, the portions were massive. Most courses could have easily fed two people. I highly recommend Bowie. read more
