Delicious fish of the day with curried veggies.
Adam D.

I've been here a handful of times and as far as the restaurant goes, I'm consistently happy with the food, the service and the overall dining experience. I really like the tuna tartare, the grilled cheese sandwich, and the fish of the day is usually quite good. As far as the store, be prepared to drop a lot of coin. This is a gourmet food and fine wine store. The wine is definitely overpriced by retail standards. For example, I paid about $50 US for a bottle that I later learned retails for less than half that. Cashing out here is never easy. I recently tried to pay for two cookies and the only, unpleasant cashier working decided to keep gift wrapping the endless gifts of the customer ahead of me instead of making them wait a minute before she returned to the gift wrapping. I ended up leaving the cookies on the counter and walked out. Worse, there was another employee standing right there next to her who neither acknowledged nor helped us. If you don't want to eat in the street, there's a courtyard in the back.

What a great place this is. So glad we found it. The good and service are amazing. If your in the area definitely worth stopping in to try it out

Berry smoothie
Julia S.

Found this spot via Yelp as it was reasonably close to our hotel. We came for breakfast, the menu has a wide variety and everything that came out of the kitchen appeared very good! My boyfriend wanted a light breakfast so he started with a berry smoothie and had oatmeal as his main dish, he absolutely loved it. I started with a very refreshing green juice and had scrambled eggs covered with tortilla, topped with chorizo and smothered with bean juice! My goodness it was delicious! My food came out minutes after we ordered. The only reason why I am giving this restaurant a 4 stars vs 5 is because we were having issues ordering the oatmeal. Could have been a language barrier, not sure, but that item came out very late. Also, want to note this gourmet-like food was reasonably priced. Our entire breakfast was under $40 for the both of us. Would definitely come back if I am ever in CDMX again!

Entrance
Jason P.

Wow just wow food was simply amazing and the wine choices are absolutely satisfying offering the worlds best wines from France Italy California Napa etc etc the steak even though not listed as such was the most tender and flavorful steak I've had in a while I'm wondering if they are dry aged as it was scrumptious!! The place was packed even late so we were glad to have reservations !!!

Soft shell crab tacos and croquettes
Kiana B.

We decided to have something "small" in Polanco before heading to Condesa. And so we came to this spot in the prime area of Polanco and ordered three appetizers, Soft Shell Crab Tacos, Croquettes and Empenadas. The tacos were the best tacos we have ever had, the level of complexity in flavors and deliciousness made us want to order about 10 more of them. It was amazing to say the least. The ambiance of this place is hipster chic and they have a very cute patio with string lights and very cute decor. We loved it here! Definitely recommend it if you want a quick bite, something sweet or a full on meal.

Dessert case
Mike M.

Found this spot on the Mexico four tours tour of Polanco. We had a sugarless cracker dessert and hot chocolate. If you like hot cocoa you are in for a treat. Also their coffees and pastries look wow. We watched the chefs in the island area work and the expertise and time they took in their artistry was impressive.

Gnocchis con Ragout de Short Rib
Alexis G.

Due to covid we were not able to eat on the back patio but we had dinner on the front. Services was excellent and food and drinks were good. I tried the Steak and Fries Fondue and it was good BUT the cheese took away the flavor of the meat. My recommendation would be to eat it separately. Gnocchis were good and the Angus burger was huge.

Sangria
Alissa M.

We just grabbed a drink here on a stroll around the neighborhood, but the drinks were fantastic, and the place was super cute. There's a patio outside in the front, a shop/bar area, then more seating in the back. We sat at the bar, and while service was quiet slow, my sangria was delicious. We had just eaten, but all of the food around us looked really good. The shop portion had some cool kitchen items from salt and pepper shakers to cookbooks. I left with some new kitchen knickknacks and an apron. Next time I'm in CDMX, I'd like to stop here for a full meal.

Richard L.

Wow... excellent food and service. I ordered the crabcake and the shortrib... Both were great but the short rib is probably the most tender I've had. Even though house bread was great.

Best concha I've ever tried!
Diego C.

The best "conchas" I have ever tried in my life! I consider myself a fan of the conchas (i.e. sweet bread in the shape of a shell with a sugar shell-patterned exterior cover, hence the name "concha" which means shell in Spanish) so decided to explore as many different conchas as I could throughout my 3-month stay in Mexico City. BY FAR, Catamundi has the best conchas I have tried. In my opinion, much much better than other popular Mexico City conchas such as "El Cardenal", "Café Tacuba", "ENO", etc. I will continue my search for the best concha and update this review if I find any other one I like better.

Cocktails: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Cost to worth it rating: 4 ($16-19 per highest quality cocktail) Opentableable: yes Return worthiness: yes! Eve award: best bar in the world (the 50 best bar people should've officially kept it there 2025 to 2026) Highlights: - Cocktails: all were top notch and delightfully balanced - Willy Wonka style magic: peanut butter and jelly and Cookie Monster as examples. Incredible to have these liquids taste like their namesakes--but not in a super sweet but smooth quality way. Pb and j came with a crazy white chocolate rendition of the sandwich and Cookie Monster their own version of an Oreo - Olive oil tequila gimlet: never would normally order this but it was delightful. Almost a butterscotch taste and a nice large green olive sitting at the bottom. - Whiskey cocktail: short was clarified and lovely - Staff: world class, top notch, could not imagine any better. Highly skilled, professional, welcoming, and fun. My niece had a few sips left in her martini drink and they transferred it to a newly chilled glass. I've never seen that done before and it was so classy. - Vibe: perfection. Classy, comfortable, and fun. Lightening was perfect: dark enough for mystery but light enough you could see. Volume just right as well. Bar seating plus few low tables. - Bar with front row seat to the drinks being created - Bar snack mix: always love this being provided. This one had almonds, sunflower seeds, and crunchy crickets! Tasted fine to me. Midlights: - For 2026 ranked #6 bar in the world but #12 in North America. That's perplexing. I vote #1 for both Lowlights: - Can be hard to get a reservation even booking exactly when your date is ready

My highlights were the welcome of every one of their team as you walk in and the goodbye you get. I also liked that they gave you towel to wipe your hands. The drinks were a bit lackluster. They sat us at the bar in front of the mixologist so we expected to get drinks mixed right in front of us but instead we got them poured out of containers where they had already been pre-batched. Not the crafted cocktails I was looking for. The dim lighting, bubbles for birthdays and friendly service was what I loved. The drinks left me wanting more. Worth going once to see if it's your vibe. Happy Munchies, @JaeGreens

Come early as there is usually a line before entering the bar. Atmosphere: to enter into the bar, you have to go downstairs through a refrigerator. In contrast to the bright colors of the taqueria upstairs, Jules was adorned with leathered walls, studded ceilings, and skeletons as table centerpieces. While trendy, it did come off as a little cheesy. Nonetheless, decor did reflect the vibe it was going for. There was limited seating, so if you have a large party would recommend going there early if you have a big party. Later in the night, there is a DJ who plays techno/dance music tends to draw in large crowds of people. Brings in a mixed crowd. Service: Service at the beginning of the night was good, although servers were less attentive as the night got later and more people were entering the bar. Cocktails: The bar offers a good variety of drinks and cocktails--which I can see why people would want to go back to Jules again. My group of friends and I tried about 8 different cocktails and the only one I enjoyed was the Low Key. The Low Key is comparable to a whiskey soul with mezcal garnished with tamarind candy. I did not care much for the other drinks, as some of them were overly sugary.

So needless to say we had high expectations. The space itself is very cute offering a small bar, some indoor seating as well as some nice patio and outdoor seating. Overall it's not large, but it has a cozy vibe. We didn't have a reservation, though they are encouraged, but we went shortly after the opened and were able to be sat at the bar. The bartender was super friendly and happy to offer rec's. The menu is so fun, but primarily in Spanish. Some of their most popular cocktails have some fun doodles and imagery to go wuth them and we really enjoyed perusing the menu. We both started with the Ultima Duda or Last Doubt, which is their spin on an espresso martini that is mezcal based. Presentation was very fun and the cocktail was lovely. For my second round I went something a bit fresher and opted for the Sumi, which was gin based and had a lovely egg white foam, my favorite. Overall, the vibes were good, cocktails were solid, prices reasonable and service was good. Neither cocktails blew me away, but it was a very fun visit if you happen to be able to get a table or opted for a post dinner nightcap.

The Timeline: * 5:38 PM: Arrival. We're second in line behind a family of four. * 6:00 PM: Doors swing open. The family takes the bar; we snag a cozy (if tiny) spot on the wall bench. I was on the "stunt stool," but we made it work. * 6:14 PM: TOTAL CAPACITY. I checked my watch--the place was packed inside and out in exactly 14 minutes. The Real Tea: It was Martini Tuesday ($100 pesos!). I'm not even a martini person, but the Classic was dangerously smooth. Just don't ask about the olives--those forsaken things remained untouched lol. Pro-Tip: The bottled water literally cost more than the cocktail. Make of that what you will.

Definitely not a touristy place, this is where locals go. There are so many mezcal options to choose from, whether you want to try it straight or in one of their cocktails. And be warned--the drinks are strong, as mezcal cocktails should be! They also bring out some complimentary snacks to enjoy with your drinks, which is a lovely touch. Service was excellent--everyone was friendly, welcoming, and happy to help with the mezcal selection. This place fills up FAST. We went on a Monday around 10 PM and managed to grab a couple of high stools at one of the side tables, but not long after, the place was packed and it was difficult to even walk through. Given how popular it is even on a Monday night, I can definitely see why. We walked here, which I'd recommend if you're staying nearby, or consider taking an Uber rather than trying to deal with parking in the area. A fantastic little bar for mezcal lovers and anyone looking for a unique, intimate night out. The atmosphere alone makes it worth visiting!

I say seated with parenthesis because most people end up standing here but we got lucky that a couple was leaving as we were right next to them after being asked our drink orders. It's kind of a weird system that they have and I think the staff didn't realize we didn't have our drink orders taken yet and asked the people behind us for theirs which was slightly annoying. It was a bit chaotic so I can see why it happened, but I do think they need a slightly better system. Anyways, the drinks were excellent and I love that they gave us a little small snack that included crickets (which I hadn't tried before yet). The vibes in here are really nice too. I love the dim lighting and the almost rock/clay atmosphere. The bathroom area is smaller than I was expecting but it was ok. I'd definitely return!
