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

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.

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.

Barro Negro is great place to sample a variety of Oaxacan moles. We went about 8:30pm on a Monday…read morenight. The restaurant was pretty much empty so we were seated immediately. The interior is pretty plain, with some Oaxacan art on the walls, apparently available for purchase. We were served tortilla chips with samples of 3 moles (Negro, Coloradito and I think the 3rd was Mancha Manteles) and 2 salsas. As my wife and I primarily went to Barro Negro to sample moles, it was great that we could taste them before committing to a full entree. They were all very good and very different. If you think all moles are 'a Mexican chocolate sauce,' then you'll be surprised at the different varieties. The salsas were all very good and on the spicy side. For entree, I ordered the Mole Coloradito and my wife got the Mole Negro. Both were served with a chicken leg/thigh quarter covered in a very generous pool of mole, along with a small amount of rice and beans. For me, it was the right amount of mole (a lot!) and rice and beans (a small portion of each). The Coloradito is a sweeter mole, very smooth and rich. It was excellent. The Negro is smoky, almost burnt tasting. I happened to know that the cooking process includes burning chile seeds and adding them to the mixture. To me, it was kind of ashy and not to my taste. My wife said that she really liked it and the flavor mellows as you eat more. At any rate, if you're familiar with Mole Poblano, which is also very dark, the Oaxacan black mole is a totally different dish. As it was late, we chose not to get any dessert. The service was attentive and quick, not surprising given that the restaurant we empty. We enjoyed our food very much and highly recommend Barro Negro for sampling Oaxacan moles.

Nice, small, and intimate location. The mole at this location was amazing. I ordered horchata and…read morethey brought me a glass along with a small pitcher. Great service and guacamole made fresh in front of you. Both waiters kept checking to see if we needed anything. 3 variations of Mole was served with chicken and beef. Black mole was my favorite as it had a smoked undertone of complexity to it.

El Turix - Tacos de cochinita pibil

While my physical body was aboard the airplane as the wheels slammed into the pavement at Benito…read moreJuarez Airport, my heart and soul were already at El Turix. The first meal of the trip is the most important. It sets the tone. The trip goes how that first meal goes, and I'd gotten so many passionate recommendations for El Turix, it became the obvious choice. I called the uber straight to the promised land, and hopped out with my luggage, into a run down, no frills interior. Just how I like it. I wish the written word could do any justice to how it smelled in here, but I won't even try. I can only imagine it is what a teenage girl feels when she walks into a Sephora. I ordered 4 cochinita pibil tacos, which is the only thing on the menu. Cochinita Pibil is a traditional Mexican dish that is slow roasted pulled pork. They pull the tortillas off the griddle and put them into this enormous pan of the pibil to give them a little bit of the juice and glisten from the pork juice. They then STUFF each taco, roll them up, and hand them to you on a plastic plate. I topped them off with the salsa verde and dug into them right outside. These babies actually exceeded my expectations. I was FLOATIN. Pork juice leaking out on every bite with flavor that can only be obtained through that traditional slow roast. It truly set the tone for the rest of the trip. This is the kind of simple, well executed meal that makes me grateful to be alive. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo
