The service was excellent, since we walked in the staff was very welcoming. The restaurant is is cozy. Our waitress was Mabet she is very friendly and patient, she answered all our questions. The food, I can't even describe. It was very flavourful, and pretty. Aporreadillo, was something delicious. Chile ahogado was 2 thumbs up. The Árabe is something you need to try.

Fresh papaya with delicious... sweetened sesame?
Rose K.

I stumbled upon this small place because it was hoppin' with locals on a Sunday morning. It was just down the street from where we were staying, and I never would have noticed it if it hadn't been for so many people dining al fresco that morning. I did not regret it. The service was incredibly friendly. I ordered green pozole, which came with all the accoutrements and was a generous portion. They were happy to add aguacate to my order. Avocado makes everything better! I made friends with the couple next to me, who let me photograph their enormous tlayuda of the day. They offered to bring out some fruit, and the papaya was perfectly ripe and the included some sweet seeds with it. They were fine with both English and Spanish. It was also properly priced (not crazy tourist prices), and probably one of my favorite meals of the trip. I would definitely come back.

Delicious, casual corner eatery. Great for traditional Mexican breakfast and lunch. Open Tuesday through Sunday. Breakfast comes with fresh juice and coffee. The combination guava and orange juice was great, as were the chilaquiles with chicken and eggs.

Chilaquiles w/ Pollo in delicious red sauce:  this photo barely captures the excellent flavors and ample size ($98MX)
Tracey A.

Little things matter: * The fresh sliced white onions atop my pollo chilaquiles; * The slabs of thick, moist carrot bread delivered before the entrees arrived; * Sweetened, toasted sesame seeds in which to roll the fresh papaya; and * Omelet accompaniments which mimicked the colors of Mexico's flag. La Ki-K is that small, under the radar spot that you should know of when you're in Condesa in search of a blissfully delicious meal served in immaculate surroundings. Someone cares deeply about what this place looks like and what comes out of the kitchen and you're the beneficiary. If not for the locals dining al fresco La Ki-K would've made little impression to me, a passerby. But as I traipsed past one morning I couldn't help but notice the bountiful entrees on the tables and their rich colors. Since I bulleted the highlights above, let me just say that the sauce in which my chilaquiles were bathed was a rich, complex mix of spiciness, satisfying and delicious. The menu here is larger than expected and the prices are a steal if you're accustomed to being scalped by paying for brunch in the US. A meal for two (Chilaquiles, omelet, fruit, carrot bread, rolls, and coffee) - enough food to last us until supper - ran a grand total of $234 MX (less than $13 US). There's other breakfast/brunch places that might catch your eye in this area but what you really want is someplace to sate your tastebuds. La Ki-K is that place.

Papaya with candied sesame seeds
Dara E.

This place is a hidden gem!!! I come to MXC fairly often, and this is one of the best little spots I have found!! Hands down, the best breakfast I have had here yet; way better than any of the usual recommended spots! I had the papaya with candied sesame seeds, coffee, a sparkling water, and crazy delicious eggs from the brunch menu. They were fried in a clay pot with herb oil, cheese, and a mild sausage, with a side of tzazikj sauce. All of this for $8.50 US, including tip!! I have to find the clay pots they use to bring back to the states so I can make this at home, bc I will definitely crave this!! And, I will be back for sure!!

Came in for breakfast 7/27/27, table for 4 on 2nd floor…read more Definitely a nice place to have breakfast outside of eating tacos every wherelse. We order pan de dulce for the table and we got 2 conchas, soft and warm just made. A chocolate roll and a fig and nata pastry along with coffee for the table. We order hievos rancheros with the red sauce. Huevos revueltos con chorizo, omelete con flor de calabaza y tamal de elote con crema. We also order a birria de res to share with the table. Service was very quick, efficient and friendly menus can be had in english or Spanish . My daughter order a hot chocolate with preparation table side, she said it was amazing. Fantastic place for brunch but arrive before 9:45am otherwise lines and some slight wait after 10am.

Found on Yelp as we were in the area. Yelp rating is earned. Came in at dinner time, like 5:45 on a…read moreweekday. Sent to 2nd for right away and seated right away as place was maybe 1/2 full. No music beyond the 2 guitar player going around table to table to see if you wanted a serenade. Skipped their offer 1st time around. Pretty quiet, bright and clean. Found that waiter spoke a little English and with our little Spanish got things done. Menus are bilingual Spanish-English. Ordered 4 lamb tacos, chile en nogada, cooked chicken in green sauce and a fish dish (forgot name, little spicy) then a coke, horchata and a pineapple drink. We got chips, cheese, sauce while waiting. Those were all nicely done but average. Dishes out maybe 10 min later. All presented well and hot. We shared each dish. Lamb tacos nicely done, little dry, but they give you some guacamole, a brown sauce, along with the green sauce and cheese with the tortilla chips. Nice, not fatty. Next was the chiles en nogada. First time tried this and really enjoyed, many flavors and nicely flavored beef. In general little on sweet side, so probably couldn't eat more than 1. The chicken in green sauce was a homey, comfort food. Nicely cooked chicken leg and thigh was an ever so slightly spicy sauce. Also came with tortilla wraps and Spanish riceLastly was the spicy baked fish. Done well, fell apart pretty easily, was spicy, but not too much. Had green beans on side done well, not too soft or hard, and Spanish rice. Drinks were all a hit. Coke is coke. Horchata and pineapple juice served in big mugs. Pineapple tastes freshly squeezed and horchata was a super solid example in every way. Oh almost forgot, later in the meal we figured out how to get the 2 guitar fellows to play for us. 2 songs for 300 peso, about 7min total. They did a good job with both the guitar and singing, was enjoyable to listen to them. Would stop back again if in area.

This is an exceptional restaurant. They specialize in seafood. Everything is fresh and delicious…read more The service here is first class. Servers are attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and make excellent suggestions. If you are looking for the best of CDMX cuisine then look no further than Contramar. Double highly recommend.

We made a reservation for 1pm on à Sunday. You must make them an advance. Not sure what the wait…read moretime would be but it was already packed when we arrived. Very busy restaurant and located in a very lovely area. The staff was amazing and in sync. We started with some cocktails - the guava mezcalita and jamaica mezcalita and also the chardonnay that was very tasty. Here's what we had: -Tostadas de atun(tuna tostadas)- must get -Ensalada de Pulpo con patatas tibias con albhaca(octopus with potatoes and basil) - octopus wasn't very good and there was no flavor -Pescado à la talla Contramar(grilled whole fish with salsas on top)I would only get the one with just the red sauce, the green sauce didn't have a lot of flavor. This is very filling and enough for 4 people -Tacos de Pescado estilo Ensenada(fried fish tacos) - these were ok The dessert, though!! This is what the extra star is for - The Meringue with Fresas(meringue cake with strawberries)- OMG soooo good. Even after how incredibly full we were, we could not stop eating this. Delicious and so unique but with the classic flavor of strawberries and whipped cream. Don't forget to add a carajillo! À delicious coffee drink with coffee liqueur.
