Great experience at Amaya last night! A couple of friends recommended we come here while in CDMX,…read moreso we went for my boo's birthday. We started with the soft shell crabs and ceviche. I loved the ceviche-the tortilla at the bottom gave it a nice crunch and the spice level added an unexpected kick, which we liked. We shared the pan-roasted sea bass and the steak. The steak was outstanding - the cut and the grilling. If you don't like it too rare though, you might want to specify that to the waiter. The side potatoes were delicious, too! We ended with the berliners which were okay.I really wanted to try their profiterol, but I think I missed it on the menu and we had the berliners instead. I am going back again for their cocktails. The mezcal drinks were on point! We tried two different cocktails, and both highlighted different aspects of the types of mezcal. The tequila cocktail was also divine. I was so into the cocktails that I forgot to taste their natural wines, which were highly recommended. We'll be back again to try them, for sure. Finally, our waiter was great! He was fun and informative, helping us with the cocktail selection and suggesting certain dishes off the menu. He even sang happy birthday with me to my fiancée :)

They warned me and they were right, it takes 40-45 minutes to get a rice plate out. It was delicious, and I can appreciate the freshness, but that's a terribly long time to wait. Minus the wait I was asked half a dozen times if I wanted a drink which was maybe too attentive of the waitstaff. So it's a great choice for food, just know you might be waiting a bit.

What a place. I…read morefound myself on a mini creative sabbatical in CDMX, staying on Chapultepec and Insurgentes, right on the Roma Nte / Juarez border. This meant that if I wanted late night vibes, I was going to walk into Juarez. And more often than not, I'd find myself at Cicatriz, chatting with Dan behind the bar. Dan is the man -- chill vibes, always down to chat, and you wouldn't know it, but he's also a very talented skate photographer. I'd usually start with a Yoko, which is their take on an Aperol Spritz -- with Mezcal. Amazing. They have a fantastic selection of artisanal mezcals as well--served with oranges and sal gusano--and there's always a can of beer on the cheap to go with it. A few times they had cute female vinyl DJs spinning Italo Disco. I went to Cicatriz more than any other place in the two weeks I spent in Mexico City. It became a comfortable desintation. The Avena is delicious in the morning and their coffee is bomb. The Sandwich de Pollo Frito will raise your spirits and lunch or dinner time and the Tostada de Ricotta was satisfying too. And being on Glorieta Plaza Washington, you can watch an abundance of humanity moving through the city as you chill and enjoy the scene. All in all, Cicatriz gets my highest recommendation. Thanks Dan and crew...you made my stay awesome.

We…read moreopted for an outdoor table and experienced the most prompt and attentive service of our entire visit to Mexico City. The offerings at Romelia are comprehensive to say the least. We started with some delicious croquettes, followed by jamon iberico on toast, spicy charred pulpo, and finally two orders of tacos -- prawn and ribeye. Each dish was superb. The pulpo was expertly charred, and the flesh as tender as a gentle summer kiss. The tacos, which are made completely from scratch in house, embodied many of the rich flavors that make Mexico City one of the world's greatest culinary destinations. Even the side dish of butter we requested was exceptional; it tasted as if an abuela in the countryside had awoken early that same morning to milk her lone grass-fed cow and gently churn it just for our visit. We opted for a bottle of Toro (~$960?) to accompany our feast, which we regarded as a sensational value. It accompanied the food perfectly. In addition to his outstanding service timings, our waiter was kind, conscientious, and particularly patient with our subpar Spanish skills. Sometimes in life, happy accidents happen. This was one such occasion. We were very pleased to discover Romelia, and hope that we can experience it many more times during future visits to this great city.

The grilled octopus was amazingly tender and fresh, one of the best in all of Mexico so far. The Patatas Bravas were too covered in paprika to taste much else, so for me they're a skip. The pan con tomato (tomato toast) was also not great as the bread got soggy quickly and there was some odd taste. Not bad by any means, just not the best I've had. All in all though, Id return in a heartbeat as the vibe is so chill and pleasant and given how amazing the octopus was, I'd like to try even more off their menu.

The food was super! The pizza was to die for - if you love a crispy thin crust you will love this wood fired oven pizza. The Caesar salad was very traditional with anchovy puree - but not overpowering - a more oil based dressing not the creamy stuff that taste like mayo that you get in the US. The pasta was also very good - along with the house red wine. If you are from the US - the prices are amazingly cheap for the quality. I would absolutely go here again with friends, family, or a date - nice trendy but romantic interior - patio seating available. Takes credit card. The restaurant is on Ave. Independence - it has an address of Revillagigedo 18 - but it's in the downstairs of this building on the other side - which faces Ave. Independence.
