This restaurant is a staple. My family is from Mexico City and has been coming to this restaurant…read morefor over 45 years. I've been coming here since I was a little girl. Every time we're in Mexico City, we HAVE to stop here - it's the law :) On this last visit to see my family, it was also my husband's first time to Mexico City so I was really excited for him. They have shows on weekends so make a reservation in advance to get a good table near the stage. On this last visit we were a group of 15. Their star dish is the barbacoa. It's not to everyone's liking but it's worth a try. Their carnitas are also delicious. They had a 13 piece mariachi band this night, and I LOVE mariachi. They also had a play going on w/the mariachi band. This restaurant experience was a highlight for my husband. They have an indoor playground for the kids. The drinks were good. they also have cafe de la olla (Mexican coffee). Lots of foreigners come here as well. On this night, there were folks visiting from Switzerland and other countries. As you'll notice, if it's your first time here and you're coming from abroad or celebrating something special, it's tradition to pass a napkin to the MC, with a note of what you're celebrating etc. and they'll announce it. My husband didn't know this tradition and my mom wrote a note for him ;) So he was super surprised when the MC called him by name in front of the whole restaurant and they welcomed him to Mexico City :) I was pleasantly surprised to see the staff were very considerate and conscious of covid-19. All of the servers were wearing masks and a face shield. All of the non-server staff had masks. You don't see the shield anymore in the US but was so happy to see it here. I felt a lot safer. Also throughout the restaurant, you'll see a wall of old photos of the owners with famous Mexican celebrities who have dined at this restaurant. If you're in Mexico City, definitely stop here!

This place was amazing! The entrance was beautifully…read moredecorated for Día de Los Muertos, there were tons of steps to go up though (so be mindful of that) , this is a traditional Mexican restaurant and it feels like you're arriving at someone's home, as you make your way to your table, you pass by the kitchen area and a souvenir shop, super super cute!! The service was great, they were very attentive and several waiters/waitresses take care of your table so they're quick to clean up your plates and such which I appreciated, you had space for your next dish. When we arrived, we happen to get there while a show was happening, there was music and singing and just all very colorful, it was loud and fun! The menu had a good variety of food, and the food itself was pretty tasty. We started with some appetizers and we got the huaraches and those were omgggggg finger licking goodness! Those are a must! We also had the barbacoa and it was good but kinda dry, not my fav here, I'd prob skip it. We had the chicken soup and that was great! The guacamole was kinda uneventful and was missing salt and spice. To drink we ordered 2 pitchers of aguas frescas, tamarind was one and it was nice and refreshing but the real winner was the Horchata, that one was made just right! For dessert we had the helado de mamey and that was really really good! Price range is on the higher end BUT with the show and the service you can see why. I'd def recommend visiting this place at least once!

Giving five stars for the service & food today, spectacular…read more I come every Thanksgiving for the big Thanksgiving Dinner they do here...I live in USA but my company does a show here every Thanksgiving, so me and the crew always come here for Thanksgiving. I would give the Thanksgiving 3-4 stars...it is usually a madhouse every year, but nice to get a feeling of the holiday here and the food is always very good. My girlfriend and I had lunch today and it was great, the staff was very helpful. Only thing I would recommend is some healthier options...I noticed a rice bowl or something on the online menu but they didn't have it. They do have a Portobello sandwich, but literally everything else on the menu is probably over 2,000 calories HAHA.

It wasn't the best barbecue food I've ever had. Hardly the ambassador I would like representing a…read moreuniquely American food. Having said that there were quite a few people in the restaurant enjoying themselves. But then they've never been to a hole in the wall bbq joint in Oakland, or Dallas. Add turkey and beef and it was too salty in both cases. The coleslaw was awful. It was so unmemorable that I don't even remember what the other side dish was. The ambience is basically foodcourt with no service. But the tables were clean and the bathroom was pristine. So it has clean tables and clean bathroom going for it; food not so much. By the way, will leave it or not clean bathrooms are the rule in Mexico not the exception. I have been to some bathrooms in gas stations that were cleaner than bathrooms in relatively expensive restaurants in the United States.

I cannot say enough about this restaurant. We must have ordered seven or eight different items from…read morethe menu. I recommend doing this and sharing or serving family style so that you can try all the amazing dishes they have to offer. The service is excellent. And even though you might be too full, make sure to order the churros! Whether you sit inside or outside this restaurant is so beautifully appointed, you'll be pleased.

Came here around 9pm on a Saturday night for a light dinner and drinks. I opted for a red blend…read morewhich was fantastic. We shared the shrimp main, and the shrimp were HUGE. There were 6 of them, all with their heads on, but it was easy to remove them. Came with a small salad, some grilled onions, cubed avocado, and a separate plate of grilled asparagus. For dessert, we opted for the cajeta crepes - a big success for my palate and a terrible blow to my calorie count of the day. It was sinfully delicious goodness. The cajeta's flavor profile was absolutely fabulous - unparalleled richness. The crepes were also delicate yet substantial. Garnished with different berries, this plate is as pleasing to the eyes as it is to the palate. The ambiance of this place is gorgeous. Situated on the 2nd floor, you can overlook the street. There is an opening for fresh air to come through. Music is kind of on the loud side, but it makes for a more fun vibe in an overall classy venue.
