Quite possibly the best restaurant near Coyoacán Park. Beautiful terrace view over the plaza with all the lively performers, top-notch service. The Caldo de Frijol was incredible -- gorgeous tableside presentation where they pour the broth over the beans and beef. The Betabel crujiente (crispy beet salad) might be the best beets I've ever eaten. Both went straight into my favorite dishes of the trip. The Filete Res Chichilo was excellent. Tarta de Manzana a perfect close. Tlayuda Setas was unique and very good but didn't quite live up to the rest. Tacos Minilla were the weakest. Would absolutely recommend.
We had a damn good meal here... in a private room... and it wasn't crazy expensive. Our group of six or seven did a walk-in for a lunch and they seated us upstairs in a private room that overlooked the Coyoacan plazita. We started with fresh margs and mezcal flights. I honestly can't remember what we ordered, but i do remember the standout dish was the "Hoja Santa" (which is photographed all over their website, so it's a house favorite) and the roasted beets. We also had chicken tortilla soup and others ate the pulpo. :( I'd easily go back in heartbeat next time in Coyoacan.
The ambiance of this place is great. We sat at a table upstairs that was right infront of a window. The servers were also phenomenal. Interestingly, the liked our appetizers more than the duck mole dish. The appetizers we got were tortilla soup and the bone marrow tortas. We would come back and try some additional dishes,
I have mixed feelings about this last visit to Los Danzantes. First of all, the service remains excellent. Our waiter that we had this time ought to teach classes on how to be a professional waiter. He was very accommodating and made sure that we enjoyed our meal. The worst part was that the restaurant has changed the menu, they have steered away from their specialties that focused a distinct affinity with traditional Nahuatl cuisine. This time the menu was short and closer to higher-end American-style restaurants. It had a choice of ribeye, and yes other specialties were Mexican food, but not like the menu from the previous year. The Huitlacoche fondue had gone through a major change that the delightful fondue we had back in October 2023. This time less cheese and the flavor was compromised. I am aware of another location in Oaxaca, and after browsing that menu it almost makes me wonder if this location was purchased by a new owner. I will have to go to that location if I intend to try something exceptional. The dessert that we purchased to take to our hotel was horrible. We bought an apple tart that tasted weird. The cinnamon-seasoned apples tasted like they had some weird unhealthy aftertaste.
Really beautiful higher end restaurant right in the park. They specialize in Mezcal drinks, the mezcal mojito and margaritas were both very good (particularly recommend the mojito). We came for pre-dinner drinks, and they required the purchase of appetizers to sit which was totally fine. We ordered the empanadas and the fondue which were delicious and pretty filling.
Unfortunately, a huge disappointment for the second time. The food is overpriced and very mediocre. For a restaurant of this level, you'd expect better quality and at least a small gesture for a birthday -- but nothing. The tomahawk was nearly impossible to chew and definitely not worth the price. Won't be coming back.
Great for romantic and expensive bites. Quality: 5 Value: 3 Service: 5 Ambiance: 3 We had an hour to kill and came in for a drink and an appetizer each. We sat on their lovely patio which was only lit by candles, which was romantic but to be honest...it was so dark we could barely see our food! So, some tradeoffs. We had the huitlacoche (special fungus/mushroom fermented corn) on bread, and the empanadas. The serving size of each was quite large! Both were also very delicious. That said, it's definitely very expensive, and the entrees were expensive for us as Americans (let alone locals). The drinks were delightful and they had a huge range of tequila, mezcals, and other options.
The Best! Go here, not just once while in Coayacan, but everyday, if you can! It's just that good! Our last meal before we headed to Huatulco, so let's do it right. It started with our server, Brian, who was incredible. He recognized our time limitations and took care of our meal efficiently yet without feeling rushed. One of our friends wasn't feeling well, so our server went out of his way to get home some toasted bread, which was not on the menu. Between us we enjoyed a roasted beet, rolled in crushed almonds and served with a delicious sauce. This felt like you were slicing into a steak, it was so perfectly prepared and filling. We had a salad with grilled chicken and roasted seasonal vegetables, I'm still dreaming of this! Exceptional! Lastly mu husband enjoyed a taco of gusanos and a sope with corn and ants, I passed on that and I'm sure he was happy that I did, since he had this plate all to himself! The restaurant is beautiful; located in the town center and the offerings will appeal to all palates!

Disappointing. This place has everything but good food. It is supposed to be a higher nicer restaurant and it hit the mark in regard to ambience, location, vibe, drinks, and service( exceptional). Unfortunately, we were so disappointed by the food. We started off with Tortilla Soup to share and the complimentary bread. The soup was presented beautifully and poured into the bowl, table side for a nice touch. It was so over-salted that it overwhelmed the other flavors. The broth was too thick (in my opinion, like a stew) and barely warm. We both tried it and left it. Second course was the Tostada Danzante. This was a crunchy traditional tortilla served almost like a thin flat bread with several local cheeses, crispy grasshoppers and a couple bite size tomatoes. Again, beautiful presentation but flavor was extremely salty!! The cheeses were already salty, add the grasshoppers which are usually little salt bombs, and then seasoned lard, too much! We tried adding the tomato to our bites to cut the salt but it still overwhelmed every flavor. My friend ordered the pork shank tacos hoping for a basic dish, elevated to another level but it didn't even qualify at that. After 3 failed dishes I refused to order a main and opted to close out our tab. The waiter noticed our dishes were almost intact and questioned our like/ dislikes of the dishes. I ended up with the manager at our table as I honestly shared my thoughts about the food. He ended up bringing us a few more bites to try which were better than the ones we ordered but not a place I would return to or recommend solely based on the food. I want to point out that the manager and waiter went out of their way to make sure we had a better food experience ( bringing several other samples of dishes to try) and I appreciated that, it just wasn't worthy of a recommendation.
Absolutely loooovvveddd this spot. Gorgeous interior, amazing service, and creative and amazing food. They brought out this dip and large chip that was delicious, and the cocktails were excellent. We shared the hoja Santa, which was basically like a large green with cheese in between in a bed of delicious salsa. We then got some squash soup and my husband got a steak. Everything was absolutely amazing and loved being in the heart of Coyoacán. Highly recommend! read more
My husband and I had dinner at Los Danzantes in Coyoacán a few weeks ago when we were staying nearby for a few days. We'd eaten at their other location in Oaxaca and needed a bite to eat after we landed and checked in at our hotel. We arrived around 9pm on a Wednesday, and it was lively and a little busy, but we were able to be seated directly. I ordered a Mexican rosé wine, and my husband had a couple of cocktails. We enjoyed all the drinks we ordered. The food I was a little less happy with. My husband got the enmoladas de pato (heirloom corn cortillas stuffed with confit duck and covered in black mole on one and green mole on the other, with aged cheese and pickled onions. The dish was pretty good, easily the best of the night. I had the Ceviche Verde (fish cured in salt and marinated in citrus juice, oregaon, and herb pesto) and the Tostada de huitlacoche (a tostada with huitlacoche confited in olive oil and herbs and creamed avocado). The ceviche was fine (cutting it in smaller pieces might have led to it being a bit more tender and easy to eat), but I didn't enjoy the tostada. Rather than being a tostada with huitacoche on top of it (as the menu and my instincts suggested), it was about two cups of huitlacoche in a bowl with a tostata laid over the top. The portion of huitlacoche was kind of crazy (way too much for the single tostada it was served with), and I thought it needed more done to it? It tasted like huitlacoche straight out of the can (I'm sure it wasn't, but it needed some additional flavor and spice). The food was a bit of a mixed bag. The service was very good, and the restaurant is stunning. Like the Oaxaca location, Los Danzantes in Coyoacán is in a beautiful building, with stunning character and design. It wasn't the best meal I've had in Mexico City, but it was beautiful and the service was great. I'd definitely return for drinks and its great ambiance and service. read more

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in such…
We made a dinner reservation ahead of time and were promptly seated upon arrival. Service was attentive and the food came at the right pace so we were constantly eating and drinking. We had a group of 8 and the outdoor seating in the front was really comfortable and spacious. The beet salad was probably my favorite item. Corn fungus (Huitlacoche) was a new hit as well. Fried shrimp was terribly underwhelming as it was overcooked. The tlayuda with grasshoppers was tasty and a surprise hit as well. read more

One of the better restaurants in the area, you get some amazing dishes here. I thought I'd go out of my comfort zone and order a dish with crickets. The Mogo Mogo were plantain croquettes with chile and toasted crickets for $145 pesos. I can't say they taste like chicken, but when they are ground up into indiscernible pieces you really can't tell if they have a flavor. I would say a bit on the nutty side. I would eat them again. Also had the green ceviche. Fish of the day in a coconut milk with blue corn chips. I don't recall the price, but very different flavors and I loved it! Facing the park area, if you do sit alongside the outdoors, be prepared to be approached by the many artists, vendors, beggars, etc. The ambiance itself is amazing! Low lighting with classical and modern Mexican architecture. Price-wise, it is expensive for a restaurant in Mexico City, but compared to the US it is reasonable. When I come back to Mexico City, I am going to hit this place up again. It really is a feast for the mouth, eyes and ears. read more

This is a special place. The restaurant building and location are spectacular which is combined with excellent food and good service. I had dinner here with two business colleagues and we wanted a light meal. We started with cerviche which was delicious and then shared enchiladas de pato with two moles. The mole negro was amazing. We then shared pulpo which was good but not outstanding. I am looking forward to returning on my next trip to Mexico City. read more

I really wanted to enjoy my dinner, but unfortunately I didn't. The tlayuda wasn't tasty. The cheese was sparse, chapulines weren't seasoned well, and just didn't enjoy it. The restaurant is beautiful and service is good. read more

This was probably one of the best dinners we had in Mexico City! It is a charming, Neo-Oaxacan (if that even is a category...think of the Mexican equivalent of New American cuisine) space located next to the Fuente de los Coyotes in central Coyoacan. After a day of adventurous eats in Mercado de Coyoacan, I wanted to cross huitlacoche (corn fungus) off my list. We got a huitlacoche tostada, grilled bone marrow, fried tuna tacos, and roast beets. When we were there (late June), they even had a special escamol menu (ants) that I was really compelled to try, but my parents vetoed it immediately. Next time, though. Each dish was beautifully presented and portions were quite generous compared to some of the dinners we had in Condesa and Roma. I can't decide which one was my favorite, but the roasted beets (covered in peanut, sesame, panko (?) served with farro was fantastic. The huitlacoche was surprisingly savory, earthy, and like black truffle. It paired amazingly with the avocado and microgreens on the tostada. Will be reminiscing about this meal for a long time. read more
1) This restaurant seems clean 2) decor is good and servers are nice 3) we returned here to use the bar so we can have a lemonade and they couldn't take us but they offered to go which was accommodating! 4) bathrooms were clean The tayulas were dry.. the guacamole was excellent.. the corn tamales were very sweet but with hot sauce provided it was much better.. the ceviche was not marinated enough so the fish was still pink... and they still charged us for it though we did not eat it and communicated the issue read more

Food was good, the chapulines were good, the chile en Nogada was very crafty and tasty. Service was OK but I was expecting more, Waiter checked my table o my once, even when I finished my drink. Ambience was good, the location in the Coyoacán street is magical. read more

Wow, what a fun experience here with my wife! We had an absolutely delicious dinner and dessert and will definitely be coming back again! There are a lot of really great places to eat in Mexico City and I would say that this would be top 15 for me and top 3 favorite restaurants in Coyoacan! The ambiance is nice (depending on what day you go since it could be a little crazy with all the rest of the stuff going on in the center park of Coyoacan), but they did a nice job with lights, plants, etc. to make it feel romantic. The service staff is very nice and on top of things The food is absolutely delicious and not one thing we ordered was not up to par with the dining experience. From appetizers to main entrees to dessert, it was all wonderful! Would recommend checking this place out. read more

One of my favorites restaurants in CDMX. If you love Oaxacan food, this is the place to be. To start, they have a great mezcal selection and cocktail menu and you won't go wrong with a mango mezcal margarita! Service is great and everyone is extremely attentive and cordial. I don't love the hoja santa starter but try the tlayuda de setas to start. I also loved the chapulines starter, but I guess that's not for everyone. My favorite main dish is the pork belly with mole de cenizas... amazing! For desert the cascada de chocolate with gorgonzola ice cream is my go to choice and I highly recommend it. read more

Great place with indoor and outdoor seating. Farm to table type. Make a rez on open table or walk in (might have a wait). Hoja santa 3/5 - not my favorite thing but it is well made. Has a licorice/anise flavor that I'm not a fan of, and didn't get the "fresh" I was looking for. Served with tortilla Danzantes tostada 2.5/5 - grasshoppers were too vinegary in flavor Pork shank tacos 4/5 - very good, tender meat. Add some of the Chile morita salsa that comes with the bread basket Arroz tumbada 4/5 - flavorful soup with seafood and rice Creamy rice 4/5 - yum super flavorful! Grilled asparagus 4/5 Seared octopus pulpo - 4.5/5 perfectly cooked, comes with a bit of salad and beet puree Duck enchiladas- tried the sauce of a friends plate, and wow the green mole is SO good. Very fresh vegetable flavor. Get some mezcal or their cocktails are great too. Tuna sour is amazing (tuna is a fruit not the fish tuna btw), the mezcal milk punch is also good. Been here several times over the years. This place is getting quite pricey especially its mezcal. $45 for a small plastic water bottle. Good complimentary bread basket with a couple salsas read more
