We stumbled into Merkava after flying into CDMX. Our Airbnb was not available yet so we wanted a…read morecomfortable, air conditioned restaurant where we could kill at least 1.5 hours. Merkava is a beautiful little restaurant in La Condesa with both indoor and outdoor seating. As mentioned, we were tired from traveling and picked the cool, indoor seating and enjoyed the nice decor. We started with hummus and, not realizing it came with pita, also ordered the house bread. The hummus was a huge portion, enough to feed a group of 7-8 and came with a pouch of several warm pitas. The hummus was homemade and a bit chunky. The house bread was even better, coils of bread with tahini butter, serrano chili oil, and a tomato cumin sauce. The bread was fantastic, warm from being freshly baked and with buttery layers and the variety of dipping sauces was pleasant for dipping. A show-stopper of a dish was the whole roasted cauliflower served with zaatar, yogurt, and mint. Our head was cut into manageable portions for us, but interestingly, they served the adjacent table with a whole head for a more dramatic presentation. The cauliflower was tender and its mild flavor was enhanced by the zaatar spices. The fish of the day was the better of the two entrees. We liked the sauteed vegetables with lentils that it was served with, much like a ratatouille with lentils, along with a parsley sauce and grilled lemon. The wagyu kebabs were an odd texture, crumbled and dry. The restaurant provided a complimentary bite of dessert, a fruit (date, apricot) baklava of sorts that was a sweet bite to end the meal. All in all, we had a good meal at Merkava.

The weekends are definitely more busy, but doesn't get too rowdy. I recommend getting peach and mango as your shisha flavors! The prices on hookah were great.

I saw this falafel place with no line and decided it looked good enough. The woman working was very sweet and offered me a sample of the falafel. It wasn't the most amazing falafel I have ever had, but the balls were tiny and crispy on the outside, but fluffy inside. I got a falafel pita with a wheat pita. She added hummus, tomato, and cucumbers. There were a few other items, but they didn't really look appealing to me. She gave me a lot of falafels (stuffed the pita with them!) and sauces on the side.

On the menu, the appetizer prices are about 50 pesos, but the first time we went he charged 900 pesos for an assortment of appetizers. I ordered a take out, all the menu prices were doubled. I asked why, I was told the container is bigger. Those take out prices are not mentioned anywhere. I ordered wine, he said it's 350, then he charged 650. Always a scam. I like the food, but I will never go there again. Such a scam.
