Our Mexico City adventures had us sipping on hot chocolate almost everyday during our stay, and La…read moreRifa was our top spot. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. They gave us a good breakdown on the differences between "lavado" and "fermentado" chocolate, had us try different nibs to taste the difference and recommended some beverages. We ended up getting the 50% drinks with milk in both chocolate types. Our fave was the lavado style as it's less bitter. They also have baked goods and ice cream to munch on as you sip your chocolate. There's seating outdoors and some upstairs where you can hang with friends and take a break from the busy city life. I brought some of their chocolate bars back home with me, and they were rich and made with unrefined piloncillo.

Fermenting cacao increases the bioavailability of its nutrients and antioxidants. I got to try it…read moretwice in CDMX. This is my lesser favorite but it's honestly still so good. I can't go back to American hot chocolate and my wallet is cooked. The staff were quiet but kind and brought the drink to my table. I wasn't sure if I'm supposed to leave my cup so I brought it back down from the loft. The variety of chocolate available is impressive for a small shop. The prices are a bit high but beat what I can get at home for sure. I'm not enough a connoisseur to compare different chocolate qualities but I expect a pleasant graininess from small shards of cacao nibs but my brew was smooth as can be. However, the taste was pleasant and might be a plus for those who want a smoothly textured chocolate.

Your pickles were tasty but literarily gave me the absolute worst case of terrible food poisoning…read moreI've ever had in Mexico City ever before. Not even kidding. Me and my partner 2x before we realized it was your pickles which we confirmed it was that within 30' minutes eating nothing else. The ones that said 10-13 garlic DO NOT BUY ever!!!

Visiting the area and need some groceries? This spot is excellent and has a huge selection…read more I was visiting from the US and was so pleased to find a familiar grocery shopping experience. Their sections for bakery, meat, produce and dairy were all good sized. Note that disposable bags are not allowed, so bring one or buy one before checking out.

Shopped here twice while visiting CDMX because it was walking distance to our vacation rental…read more First visit was for a few essential items like water, juice, fruits, etc. We shopped without incident. Then we went for a second trip to get a bottle of wine and laundry detergent a couple of days later. During our second visit we picked up the wine first then went over to the laundry detergent aisle. As we turned to walk up to the register we noticed that the bottle of wine we had placed inside of the cart was gone. Apparently one of the store employees came over to where we were and removed it from our cart while our backs were turned as we were selecting laundry detergent. I went and picked up another bottle and then headed to the register. I asked the cashier why that was done and she said they thought someone had just left it there. That's a bunch of bs because the cart was right next to us! If that was the case, why not remove the entire cart? Makes no sense at all. I noticed a few of the employees whisking around the store with radios in their hands behaving as if someone was in the store shoplifting as we made our way to the register. It felt very racist! I don't recommend shopping here because there was absolutely no reason for them to behave in such a manner.
