My pork chops was fatty and fork tender, with a flavor more like veal than pig. Kinda the Platonic ideal of a chop, I'll be chasing this dragon for a while methinks.

We got lucky and were able to walk in without a reservation and get a table for 7 people. I think this was lucky because it was on the early side for dinner.

It was a lot of food and it was sooooo good. We also got the pan de elote to share. It's this really yummy almost custardy corn dessert. If you're looking for an upscale meal with really solid traditional food, this is definitely the place.

I thought it was funny when I got the menu and the food menu was only one page while the drink menu was five pages. The outside of the restaurant is blue-ish and the restaurant has multiple rooms. The ceviche del dia ($190 MXN) was a little sweet and not as tart or sour as others I've had. The tacos de sirloin ($170) were really good and were our group's favorite. The taquitos dorados de mole negro ($140) were okay; there was no meat just in case you were wondering. The aguachile rojo de camaron ($190) were good. The esquite con tuetano ($100) was not like a typical corn in a cup but it was closer to a corn soup. For drinks I had the pequeño gigante ($210) which was good. The paloma madura and paloma margarita were both favorites among our group. We went during the day and it wasn't that busy but supposedly it gets way busier and livelier at night.
