The service was impeccable and the cocktails were great. The food was meh. I was expecting something at least good and then when I saw the check, I knew the food should have been great. For the price, the food is not up to par. Could have been the entree I selected. Nevertheless, a good experience considering the drinks, service and setting.

What a complete disappointment. This beautiful house used to be home ro a wonderful 5 star…read morerestaurant. The last time I was here I brought my family for amazing drinks, appetzers, meals and desserts. What still stands out in my mind is a plate of figs with crumbled cheese and honey drizzled over them. Years before was a plate of deep fried squash flowers and a soup that was of the gods I was sure. While the service was still impeccable, the wait staff struggled to carry over a ridiculously huge sandwich board that now serves as a menu. The offerings on said board were unbelievable. All things I could buy from any street vendor or could have asked a talented 8 year old to prepare for me. The drinks are yummy but when you charge 5 star prices you'd better be delivering more than Paul's Diner! Also... The bar used to be beautiful! Whoever "renovated" it?... Well... Mistakes were made, BIG BIG mistakes. I hope that Cantinflas can't see this.

Food- one of my favorite meals while in Mexico City! We didn't order much because we were full from a meal before but ordered what we could. What we got: MUST HAVE AGAIN: 1. If you like octopus: Tacos de carnitas de pulpo (fried octopus carnitas). This didn't seem fried but oh my gosh it was SO tender and fresh and flavorful! Our whole table LOVED this. Highly recommend. 2. Scallop tostadas!! SO fresh/refreshing! 3. Fig Tart- It was so good! Tasted kind of like a fig cheesecake. We heard it was the most popular desert and got lucky because our waiter Edgar saved it for us!! Thank you so much Edgar! Tasty but would go for something else next time: 1. Tacos de esmedregal al pastor: Al pastor fish, onions, cilantro, pineapple I didn't get the soft shell crab taco but heard it was delicious so thought I'd toss that here!

La Cueva is a cocktail bar with secret garden/boho vibes. It smells of incense, has a lot of…read moregreenery, dark lighting, lounge music... and great margaritas. I had one of the best in Topoz. My friends and I went to La Cueva for some cocktails and dinner. This is a cocktail bar with no restaurant-style seating. So we filled up on small plates of ceviche, tostadas de atun, and guacamole (with chapulines on the side for the skurd Americanos). I'm not a huge fan of chapulines (grasshoppers) but La Cueva makes the best I've tasted to date! They must be seasoned in soy sauce or Maggi's.... delicioso! We had three craft cocktails (really, four, because one specific drink was BOGO), three apps; and our bill was $50. Well worth the food/drink/service/atmosphere and experience.
