We got the grilled sea bass and burger and they were pretty average. The side of fries was unfortunately way undercooked.

Very busy restaurant and located in a very lovely area. The staff was amazing and in sync. We started with some cocktails - the guava mezcalita and jamaica mezcalita and also the chardonnay that was very tasty. Here's what we had: -Tostadas de atun(tuna tostadas)- must get -Ensalada de Pulpo con patatas tibias con albhaca(octopus with potatoes and basil) - octopus wasn't very good and there was no flavor -Pescado à la talla Contramar(grilled whole fish with salsas on top)I would only get the one with just the red sauce, the green sauce didn't have a lot of flavor. This is very filling and enough for 4 people -Tacos de Pescado estilo Ensenada(fried fish tacos) - these were ok The dessert, though!! This is what the extra star is for - The Meringue with Fresas(meringue cake with strawberries)- OMG soooo good. Even after how incredibly full we were, we could not stop eating this. Delicious and so unique but with the classic flavor of strawberries and whipped cream. Don't forget to add a carajillo! À delicious coffee drink with coffee liqueur.

As we sat the dining area became busier and busier. A good sign. They of course offered us an English menu and we requested on in Spanish so that can learn. It was hard to decide what to order, it was our last night so we knew that we were going to over order. We first orders guacamole. Then added a Pollo Pastor Taco, a pork El Pastor, a Bistec/Queso Taco, and a Chicharron de Quesso. The guacamole arrived first and it was the best we had all week...and we had it at least twice per day! Then the rest of the food just started arriving and we dug in. Everything was outstanding. The Bistec/Queso taco was something I had never tried and trust me I will get it again and again. It was delicious. This restaurant seemed to be a "Happy" place. It was humming with excitement.

I say this because of course, food in Mexico City is so astronomically good, why settle for just "good?" That's Helena. The decor and location are STUNNING and it would be a great place for a group outing but the food is just good, and for the prices and in comparison, that just doesn't cut it in CDMX. Personally I think Cancino down the street is better and cheaper (though admittedly a totally diff cuisine).

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.

After the food was brought to our table, no one came back to check on us. There was no follow-up for side dishes, additional orders, clearing plates, or asking if everything was okay. The dining area seemed understaffed, and table service was almost nonexistent. Because of that, I decided not to leave a tip. In Mexico, tipping is voluntary and should reflect the service received. When I paid without leaving a tip, the person in charge questioned me about it persistently in a rude and uncomfortable way. Other customers nearby noticed, and my friend was also confused by the situation. When I asked for a receipt, I did not receive a polite explanation and was simply told to check the QR code myself. The food was also disappointing. I would not return or recommend this restaurant based on the service and payment experience.
