We popped in on…read morea bit of a time crunch on our way to a Lucha Libre show, so we had to skip several tempting dishes marked on the menu as taking longer to prepare. That said, I really appreciated how clearly those items were labeled--it set expectations upfront and made ordering easier given our schedule. The space itself is beautiful with an open, airy ambience that immediately sets the tone. We were started off with complimentary crispy tortillas served with both red and green salsas--a simple but very welcome touch. For food, my kids ordered the lime soup and the penne al chipotle, both of which they really enjoyed. My husband and I went for the tortas: he chose the Bacalao a la Veracruzana and I had the Cangrejo de Concha Suave. Both were delicious, with a unique twist on the classic flavors. My husband also had a cocktail that he loved. Overall, a solid experience with great food and atmosphere. This is definitely a place I'd return to when I can slow down and savor it properly.

I love a tasting menu, and a showcase of a chef and kitchen's talents. This is the perfect type of thing to highlight the pride and creativity of Mexican cuisine; you are in one of the greatest food cities in the world. The interior is like a comfy Mexican study. The staff is attentive and considerate; generous with their recommendations and hospitality. They even called to give us some instructions cause of a protest across the street at the Venezuelan embassy for easier access. Our courses were absolutely delicious. My wife and mother-in-law got the 6-course tasting menu and I went with the 9. If you like a tasting menu or want to introduce someone to the experience, Raiz does not disappoint. The amuse bouche is one of my favorites, cause I love looking at people's faces when they get such a small appetizer. I am not going to post all of the dishes here, cause part of the experience is the sensory look of the plates, but I will say the pork belly and escamole were two of my favorites. I will also say that the tasting menu portions were generous. If you're celebrating a special occasion or want to dip a toe into all that CDMX has to offer, give Raiz a try - they are wonderful. Food: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Experience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Good for: Fine dining experience. First or last night in Mexico. Authenticity: 2/5. Definitely takes advantage of the local and seasonal proteins and produce, but also is creative and experimental. Recommends: Tasting menu. Notes: Get reservations in advance and the tasting menu. Tourist Alert: If you're reading this, you might be a Western Tourist like me! I just want to flag that fact, cause this review is not by a local. This is a disclaimer inspired by a feature I would have wanted when I was in Italy (local v. tourist). Disclosure: I've grown up with Cali-Mexican food all my life as a native Southern Californian. I love the spices! English Friendly? 5/5.

We had the prix fix with wine pairing and they knocked it out of the park. The duck dish I pretty much licked the plate.

She did such a great job. The ambience is perfect. Not to loud or quite. Small spot withe high ceilings and very airy. Definitely a spot where you need a reservation in advance.

Maybe there's a bit of a translation mix up or Mexicans and Americans have different ideas of what a casserole is, but it was more like a soup. I wasn't mad, in fact, it was incredibly delicious and filling, but I was a bit confused at first. The owner was on hand and when we ordered coffee we tried to make sure that make sure that they would have milk. He said we wouldn't need it and while we still were adamant about the milk, we held off once he suggested we try it before he brought out milk. He was so right. Our mistake (and we owned up to that)! We were having Cafe de Olla! Served in cute little clay pots, this sweet but not overly so, is spiced with piloncillo, dark brown sugar, cinnamon and a few other spices. While the color was deep black, the taste was anything but. If I was a millionaire I would have this shipped up fresh to me every morning. My gosh do I miss it. Wonderful service and a great meal! We felt right at home here!

Simple Tradition in Roma…read more Fonda Fina, in the heart of Mexico City's Roma district, is a study in wood--walls, chairs, even menus tied together in a rustic embrace. Service is attentive, never overbearing. Complimentary chips and salsas were underwhelming, but the guacamole more than compensated: chunky, creamy, bright with lime, and served with corn tortillas so delicious we ordered an extra round, despite the stingy three-per-order. The suadero tacos, four to an order, were the undisputed star. Served piping hot with a smoky salsa on the side, they showcased meat both juicy and flavorful, the salsa layering on a subtle charred complexity. Tlacoyos de birria, also served in fours, offered hearty masa and decent filling, though the meat fell short on succulence. The red mushroom tamal, paired with a tomato-chile sauce, was the weakest link. The sauce dominated the dish, muting the mushrooms, whose "gourmet" touch clashed with the humble, comforting spirit expected of a tamal. Even with a few misses, the meal's highs outweighed its lows. Fonda Fina blends tradition and refinement into a dining experience that feels both rooted and modern--a place to which one gladly returns. #MexicoCityEats #RomaDining #FondaFina Tradición Sencilla en la Roma Fonda Fina, en plena colonia Roma, envuelve a sus visitantes en un universo de madera: muros, sillas y menús en perfecta armonía rústica. El servicio es atento y preciso. Los chips con salsas no convencieron, pero el guacamole lo rescató todo: fresco, con trozos, ácido en su punto, acompañado de tortillas de maíz tan sabrosas que pedimos más, aunque solo sirvan tres por orden. Los tacos de suadero, cuatro por porción, fueron el plato estelar: carne jugosa y sabrosa, servida bien caliente, con salsa ahumada que añadió un matiz tostado y elegante. Los tlacoyos de birria, también en cuatro piezas, destacaron por la masa gruesa, pero la carne careció de jugosidad. El tamal rojo de hongos, con salsa de jitomate y chile, fue lo menos logrado: la salsa opacó el sabor, y los hongos, demasiado "gourmet," desentonaron con la sencillez que se espera de un buen tamal. Con aciertos mayores que tropiezos, Fonda Fina ofrece una cocina cálida y refinada, que combina tradición con un aire contemporáneo, y merece volver. #SaboresCDMX #RomaGastronómica #FondaFina

We had a delicious meal: 2 appetizers, 2 mains and 2 drinks each (4 total) for about $50 USD each/ $2000 pesos total. I came for the octopus and it was super tender and also well-seasoned. We started off with the pork belly sopes which were AMAZING and sampled the beet carpaccio as well which comes with chayote (a Mexican squash I really like). My partner got the Chamorro de puerco which was a massive serving of pork shank that was tender and fell off the bone. Their "nice cocktails" were a variety of tequila and mezcal inspirations and the classic margarita does not disappoint. Our servers were attentive and checked in on us regularly- they also gave great recommendations. We came here around 6:45 on a Friday and had a reservation but could have come as walk-ins based on the crowd. I imagine it gets busier later in the evening. The tables and lighting were nice and the servers replaced the cutlery between each course.
