All-in-all it was worth the inconvenience. Very eclectic menu, warm atmosphere and outstanding service. I started withe the Mango-Tamarind: Lettuce, Indian walnut, mango, blueberries, Cotija cheese, mango-habanero dressing and tamarind billet. Unique and tasty. "Swiss Chicken Enchiladas" for the main course was not what you get at a local Mexican joint -- Four tortillas stuffed with chicken, bathed in a creamy tomatillo sauce with melted cheese and a base of refried black beans. This was a 5-star dish! I couldn't resist ordering a side dish though I didn't need to because the enchiladas were really enough, so I indulged myself with fries: these were not your run of the mill French fries. Porfirio's Potatoes -- French fries with chipotle pepper aioli, parmesan cheese and parsley. Finally, if you like ice cream I highly recommend that you order BOTH offerings: 1) "ICE CREAM TASTING" - Strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice cream from Metate, marzipan ice cream and vanilla from Papantla. Served with grated coconut, chocolate grain, M&M's, Oreo cookies and ice cream cones; and, 2) "PORFIRIO'S MOLECULAR ICE CREAM" - served with cajeta Worcestershire sauce in an ice cream cone. (I know it sounds disgusting right? Nope it worked. The chef is just showing off with this dish)

I took some notes and this is what I thought of the dishes. Xoajacan Imoladas - The mole is perfection. The flautas, superb. Everything in this plate is a symphony of what I would expect from Xoajaca. 9.5/10 Barbacoa Bonemarrow - Barcacoa is on point. The Marrow is Sublime. Together with the accompaniments is superb. I dream of Marrow everyday. This is a 10/10 Yellow fin Tosatadas - Superb!!! One of the best tostadas I have ever had. The microgreens, the sauce and the square Tostada works well all together. 8.8/10 Salmon - Cooked perfectly. The corn is a great accompaniment. The fish is impeccably seasoned. This dish is heaven sent with a 9.8/10 Grilled Octopus - Grilled perfectly, I can tell by the texture. The mash is superb, they used margarine instead of butter and I absolutely love the contrast from the traditional mash. 9.8/10 Mexican Rice - Its pretty good. It does have a nice seafoodish finish. The pepper was actually spicy. Nice and pleasant rice dish. 8/10 Charred Avocado Salad - Grilled avocado is a bit of a wash. It did make it look good on the plate. The dressing is a little weak. Needs a little more zip, some citrus or vinegar would give this salad some justice. Its a little uninspired 7/10 Service is impeccable and attentive and the atmosphere is lovely.

The outdoor space has an ambiance even with the low lighting, and there are fans everywhere to help keep customers cool. We went at night for some pizza. By the way, they serve bread before the meal and it is honestly the softest and most addicting bread I have ever eaten (seriously we tried to get the waiter to get us 3 of the plates). The bread is served with butter, some spicy lime sauce, and some sort of chili (?). I ordered the prosciutto arugula pizza and my date ordered the salami pizza. They were both so good. Maybe the crust could've been softer but it was a very minor detail to me. Totally recommended.

Quería encargar una pasta para pasar a recogerla a la sucursal de plazas outlet, tuve que marcar 19 veces y hablar con la sucursal de la Bonampak, me dijeron que iban a intentar ponerse en contacto con ellos, la persona con la que hablé siempre fue super amable e intento ayudarme en todo momento, le dije que no se preocupara que yo iba a ir personalmente al restaurante a encargar mi pasta, fui y la pedí y esperaba ver al gerente para contarle lo que pasó, no lo vi y decidí que cuando regresara a recoger la pasta le diría. Pasó el tiempo y fui por mi pasta, me acerque a la caja y había un mesero sentado y una chica (hostess o cajera) con su mochila en las piernas del chico, sacando cosas y platicando,que por cierto lo único que hacen sus empleados es estar platicando y coqueteando entre ellos todo el tiempo, tuvo que pasar un minuto y que yo les tenga que decir HOLA?! para que me atendieran y me dieran mi pasta, no vi al gerente y no se lo pude comentar, pero por el terrible servicio no regreso a la sucursal de PLAZAS OUTLET.
