That said, I really appreciated how clearly those items were labeled--it set expectations upfront and made ordering easier given our schedule. The space itself is beautiful with an open, airy ambience that immediately sets the tone. We were started off with complimentary crispy tortillas served with both red and green salsas--a simple but very welcome touch. For food, my kids ordered the lime soup and the penne al chipotle, both of which they really enjoyed. My husband and I went for the tortas: he chose the Bacalao a la Veracruzana and I had the Cangrejo de Concha Suave. Both were delicious, with a unique twist on the classic flavors. My husband also had a cocktail that he loved. Overall, a solid experience with great food and atmosphere. This is definitely a place I'd return to when I can slow down and savor it properly.

Our server was very pleasant, attentive and definitely made the night fun. I wanted to try the Sopa de Tortilla mostly because of the presentation - it was in this cool looking ceramic of a señorita skeleton figurine. The soup itself had fresh clean flavor to it. For the mains, we had the Enchiladas De Mole Negro, Tacos De Lechón, Filete Con Salsa De Chipotle and Pescado Tikin Xic. Everything was so tasty, definitely enjoyed our meal.

The Mexican hot chocolate was also prepared traditionally tableside, whipped up to order. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't very good. Although many reviews raved about the soup, the tortilla soup my husband makes is much better. The hot chocolate was very watery. And while we usually love tacos gobernador, the ones here were very dried out and flavorless. The best dish was definitely the guacamole, which was very fresh and good. We ordered some with chicharrones, and some with tiny dried grasshoppers on the side, which were actually pretty crunchy and tasty. Enjoyable experience, but not likely to return.

I had the tasting menu, which was creative and unique, mixing local ingredients with top-tier presentation and technique. It also seemed easier to book than some of the other Michelin-level spots in CDMX, which makes it an even better find. I don't understand all the bad Yelp reviews dissing it. my experience was excellent from start to finish. If you're looking for elevated dining that highlights Mexican ingredients in imaginative ways, this is one of the best options in the city.

I will start this review by saying the restaurant is gorgeous. They have a beautiful tree right in…read morethe middle of the restaurant and you almost feel like you're dining in a treehouse, although be at a very fancy exclusive treehouse. We were welcomed as we walked in and invited to sit in the lounge area as we were a little early. We knew that traffic in Mexico City could be bad and Sud 777 was about 35 minutes away from our hotel. Fortunately for us traffic was not too bad and we got there about maybe 15 minutes early. No worries, the waiting area was very comfortable. Later on we were escorted to our table and our waiter was friendly. One thing that struck me was that the place was almost empty. There was no one until about 40 minutes into our meal that was even seated around us. I thought it was kind of strange on a weekend night for a Michelin star restaurant to be so "deserted". We were asked about our drinks and my wife ordered a white wine and I started with my normal gin and tonic. Five minutes later my gin and tonic arrived but her wine did not arrive. Five more minutes after that the waiter arrived to let us know that the wine that she selected was not available. So she graciously pointed to the second wine right underneath the one she selected said she would have that one he bowed his head and left. 10 minutes later A box of different breads and breadsticks and dips arrived but still no wine for her. Five or six minutes after that, the waiter arrives and ask if we're ready to place our order. We asked about her wine and he proceeded to tell her that she never ordered another glass. Now I know a lot of people may think that oh you're in Mexico different languages maybe there was a misunderstanding. That would be a wrong assumption, my wife was born and raised in Mexico City and is obviously fluent in both Spanish and English. I am also fluent in Spanish being raised in Miami Florida. We never spoke English to our waiter it was always in Spanish. Led me to believe that whoever gave this place a Michelin star must've been there on a very good night because that one interaction would've probably not allowed them to get the Michelin star in the first place. So we told them to forget about that glass of wine and we just ordered a bottle instead to get us through dinner. We selected a 2017 Valle de Tintas Riserva. The wine had a wonderful nose but when the first tasted it tasted awful! However like a lot of great wines once a little air hit it became quite good. As far as the food we selected we decided to choose a bunch of different things in this share a few bites with each other. I had read a review that says I should try the potato salad with the anchovies, and I can say it was really good. We also had a dish they had mushrooms and foie gras which was decent as well. I believe the kitchen was showcasing mushrooms at the time, lots of dishes had them on those and thank God we both like mushrooms! We also decided to go with some grilled octopus (as I've said before, it's her favorite seafood grilled octopus) within chose to order some duck breast and some lamb chops. The duck was pretty good but quite honestly needed some salt or some other kind of seasoning. The lamb was not very good. And was very difficult to cut even with a knife so I actually picked it up and ate it like Fred Flintstone. Not that that bothers me because my wife probably considers me a caveman anyway, but when I'm in a restaurant like this I try to maintain some semblance of respectability! LOL. We ended the night with a smoked cheesecake... It was pretty good actually, and then as I have pictured in the review they brought some chocolate covered cherries that were even better than the cheesecake. I'm not gonna say this restaurant was bad. I'm gonna say that I don't believe it was Michelin star quality, not even a bib Gormand (as it was pretty expensive) but price never bothers me when it comes to paying for a good meal because I will pay for anything as long as I want it. I will say I'm glad for the experience, but I cannot recommend this restaurant for anyone else.

I love a tasting menu, and a showcase of a chef and kitchen's talents. This is the perfect type of thing to highlight the pride and creativity of Mexican cuisine; you are in one of the greatest food cities in the world. The interior is like a comfy Mexican study. The staff is attentive and considerate; generous with their recommendations and hospitality. They even called to give us some instructions cause of a protest across the street at the Venezuelan embassy for easier access. Our courses were absolutely delicious. My wife and mother-in-law got the 6-course tasting menu and I went with the 9. If you like a tasting menu or want to introduce someone to the experience, Raiz does not disappoint. The amuse bouche is one of my favorites, cause I love looking at people's faces when they get such a small appetizer. I am not going to post all of the dishes here, cause part of the experience is the sensory look of the plates, but I will say the pork belly and escamole were two of my favorites. I will also say that the tasting menu portions were generous. If you're celebrating a special occasion or want to dip a toe into all that CDMX has to offer, give Raiz a try - they are wonderful.

As someone who always struggles with trying to figure out what the "right" thing to order is, I absolutely loved not having to worry about this and rather sitting back and enjoying the vibes/ talking to strangers while awaiting "surprise" dishes. They were also able to cater to my vegan diet with every dish being so unique and tasty. We came by twice and between the two visits every dish we had was different. This was overall probably the most fun and tasty meal we had in Mexico City Some tips: - the restaurant is cash only so make sure to bring cash - there's no reservations so make sure to come early because lines are common.

The concept sounds great. The wait list sounds organized. But no. We were told to put our name in WhatApps for a 40 minute wait. We rushed back in time and still waited another 30 minutes for a communal style table. Then, food came out in rounds, but the rounds were for all tables at the same time, so there was a 20-30 minute wait between each dish, about the size of a palm of the hand. There were no utensils, so we ate everything by hand. While waiting for the food, a street vendor came by to sell carpets. We were extremely tired at this point and decided to leave after 2 underwhelming dishes and 1 dessert. The total time was over 1 hour to wait for a table and over 1 hour for only 3 unfulfilling dishes. I do not trust the Michelin system and this place is a proof of it. Food was good, but by no means excellent or out of this world. Had they brought out the food after 10 minutes, it would have been more acceptable. It wasn't worth the hype in my opinion due to the extreme wait and hold between each dish. I and family also felt extremely gassy soon after, and mind you, this was our first lunch in CDMX. There were only 4 communal tables, about 30 seats. No restroom! Cash only or local transfer.
