It's a very pretty and busy restaurant. Nice ambiance. There were musicians playing. Clay plates, very cute. I had mole enchiladas, they were average. The bread rolls were ok. I barely ate any of the food. read more

While on a work trip, my wife's company did a happy hour and dinner at La Opera in Centro Historico. There are a few tables outside and the inside is spacious and takes you back in time. It's ornate, but a classic experience. Their menu is full of items, but I went with the meat and cheese board and red sangria. Both were refreshing after a long day. Service is kind and efficient. read more

Old school since 1895. Every time I visit this city I make sure I stop by this classic bar for a drink or two. The ambiance alone makes you step back in time with its elegance and wonderful staff. Look up to the ceiling where Pancho Villa shot a hole back in 1914. read more

La Opera - Old school since 1876 - Grocery Near Me - México, D.F., DIF

La Opera is a MUST if you are in the zocalo! For those of you who don't know the story behind this very famous bar, it is one of the oldest in the city and used to be a very popular bar for politicians and aristocrats (and still is) during the Porfirio Diaz era. It is better known for the bullet Pancho Villa fired inside the bar, to prove that anyone no matter their level in society could and should enter the bar. La Opera was changed during the Porfirio Diaz era, to have a more parisian style. Porfirio was a huge fan of this particular style which is reflected in many building in downtown, including Bellas Artes. La Opera is definitely a piece of art, and would encourage everyone to at least grab a beer at the bar so you can appreciate the detail in the building. Their food is definitely not 5 stars, so I would just suggest to grab a drink. read more

Decor is lovely. No air conditioning so somewhat warm History of Pancho Villa shooting a hole in the ceiling is very interesting Service was very quick Ordered a mint julep (nice and strong, unlike many drinks I had in the visit) and a sangria Ordered aguacate de atun and the aguacate de Cameron. Both were had more mayonnaise than anticipated but that it probably my fault Overall good but probably would not come back. Would give 3 1/2 but not sure how The ají was nice and spicy Locals go so that means something.... read more

This place is phenomenal and I highly recommend it. I ordered risotto dish topped with a perfectly cooked cod and Brussels sprouts. My husband had classic tortilla soup and a salad. He raved about his meal. He also tried my dish and he raved that it melted in his mouth. The service is extraordinary If you're ever in Mexico City please visit. read more

Food was average at best. The steak did not taste right and mashed potatoes tasted like they were from KFC. The fajita combo meal was ok and was nothing special. The inside of the building was beatiful, but just seemed like average food in a nice building. read more

Stopped for a refreshing drink after walking around. Nice old place, drinks were just ok. We had better, the mojito lacked lime juice. I tried the opera cocktail (tequila, cinzano and splash of sparkling water) not too bad. They charge $5 for the chips, we didn't eat. read more

The food here was the best we had in CDMX. Delicious steak, perfect veggies, good wine; I beam upon them! They also had a trio of singing guitarists playing romantic songs that were sublime. Besame mucho! Don't miss this great place. Good prices too! read more

Great drinks, ambience, and very friendly staff. Although they lacked vegan options they made an attempt to accommodate my dietary needs.
