Everyone enjoyed the meal, nice presentation and all. I had only salad and took my kebab home and put it in the fridge as I was full, However, at 3 am they awoke violently ill. fever, chills, vomiting and you know.. the works Moctezumas revenge. I didn't eat my kebab until Saturday 8/26 at 5 pm I was not sick previously , I was fine, until I took three bites of the kebab gyro and went to sleep awakened 3 hours later violently ill. I am certain it was the meat that made us all so sick. I will need to speak with the manager there as its I believe dangerous. I would love to give them another chance but I am very hesitant to do so after a ruined weekend.

My only real complaint is the doner is not 100% lamb, even though I realize the main ingredient of doner does not necessarily have to be lamb. Fine, but they do not have any meat options that are 100% lamb, though the paidakia horin (ribs) were damn good. The service is usually pretty good, which is Mexican means overwhelming at first then frustrating because the waiter disappears, forcing you to go on a scavenger hunt for the check. Aside from that, the pita bread is delicious, but that should never be screwed up, under any circumstances. As far as seating, there are more options outdoors than indoors. As for parking, valet in Polanquito or else park outside of Polanquito and walk.

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 raviolis are infinitely better than ones I have found in Italian restaurants in the area, and I am particularly fond of the spinach and cheese ones. The older lady who works here is a sweetheart too. The place looks like it would be awesome for brunch; I will come back to try more of their items for sure. Definitely inspires me to want to travel to Argentina just for the food!

Our menu had a set of appetizers followed by 6 courses and a dessert course. We also had the wine pairing, which was... absolutely perfect! My favorite course was the Ferrero of foie gras - a ball of foie gras with hazelnut wrapped in edible gold! Basically a Ferrero Rocher but in foie gras form - very soft and delicate, rich in taste. Another course that stood out was the chilled green tomato gazpacho with scallop and avocado - very clean taste. And I also loved the Iberian bacon with lettuce cream, marinated yolk, ravioli and beetroot tartare. This was very flavorful, but very well-balanced. That thinly sliced bacon though!!! I was not very impressed with the bluefin tuna with marmitako sauce - I understand they were trying to do a Mexican-inspired dish, but the tuna and heavy sauce just clashed, with the sauce completely overpowering the tuna. The roasted duck was just okay, as well. The skin was just not crispy enough for my taste. Loved the date and ginger puree, though! Loved all the desserts! Especially the pumpkin spice cake with tangerine ice cream! It came inside a carved-out frozen mini pumpkin, too, which was super cute! Service was top-notch - our glasses were always full and table never empty. The sommelier gave great descriptions of each glass! Would definitely recommend for a nice celebratory dinner or date night.

The front is open to the outside and it welcomes you in, the decor overall is very cool and creative. Hipster like atmosphere and the music was also good. Ordered Nicandro, Eusebio, Tomasa, Victora and a Leon. Speaking of, the names on the menu are also cool, and our server said to order this options Karla Carmona was our server. The beer was refreshing and the chips that they offer you while you wait for your food is a nice touch. As for the food, it was salty and it was overall OK. It could be me that I do not eat a lot of salt so maybe you will enjoy.

Except that a person yelling that he was the boss or he was with the boss and the entire staff left us. There where only 2 occupied tables in the restaurant (ours being one of them), the staff completely forgot about us l. The food quality was good but the dishes lackluster. We had the angula and the boqueron ponchos, the boquerones where completely covered in oil and along with the tarragon it was nearly impossible to taste the white sardines (boquerones) the angulas where just ok. The asparagus and shrimp salad was very good but not enough to have us go back. We also had the Sofia fish and it was a bit to salty and the fish was a little dry. Wine selection was good. Although the terrace was awesome ... The cigarette and cigar fumes along with the loud table forced us to move way inside the restaurant. This restaurant looks like an awesome place but there are better options for way less or equal $$. Kaah siis, o quintinil are far superior for the same money.
