Avocado toast with truffle oil
Thanh D.

Love the ambience of this place. Super chic and welcoming. The food is great and service is amazingly first meal in CDMX !

Crossant Sandwich. Ham and Cheese. Spicy chili.
Emmanuel C.

Tucked into one of the city's many hip, lush neighborhoods--where ivy spills from balconies and architectural charm lines every block--Ojo de Agua feels like a natural extension of its surroundings. A little bit of Mexico City cool, a little bit of Sunday morning healing, it delivers on flavor, comfort, and that post-night-out renewal we all crave. We walked in unsure of what to order--everything sounded good. So, naturally, we shared. Croissant Ham & Cheese Sandwich Buttery, flaky, with the perfect whisper of sweetness in the dough. The exterior had that crisp edge that shatters gently when you bite, giving way to layers that melt on your tongue. It wasn't just food--it was nostalgia dressed in European café style, dripping in flavor and comfort. Chilaquiles (Red & Green Mix) A plate with purpose. The spice hit just right, waking up our foggy brains after the night before. Mixing red and green salsa? Easily the move. It brought balance, brightness, and that subtle kick that reminds you you're alive. It's the dish that says: You partied, but now you're healing. Acai Bowl Being from LA, I couldn't resist. And wow--fresh as a cold stream after a long hike. Mango, raspberries, blueberries, coconut shreds, and strawberries all played in perfect harmony. It was the hug I didn't know I needed--a cooling, hydrating reset. A Place to Remember... and Return Ojo de Agua isn't about flash--it's about flavor that feels familiar, dishes that connect, and the kind of spot you revisit with people who matter. My cousin, a local, immediately declared it a new go-to. As for me? This will absolutely be one of my first stops next time I'm back in town. Sometimes a good meal doesn't just satisfy your palate--it grounds you. This place did both.

Black detox
Gab G.

Soursop coconut passionfruit juice was incredible - one of the best juices I've ever had in my LIFE wow. Black detox also had delish coconut flavor. There are locations all over (even in the airport, but this one is better).

If your craving something healthy and tasty, check this little place out. I love their unique custom water bottles. I think they're probably more know for their drinks and fruits salad then the breakfast. Family and pet friendly. They do have a patio should you want to sit outside and enjoy some fresh air. Quick service and clean atmosphere.

Came for breakfast when other places were closed. Glad those places were closed. Best breakfast in area. Incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked eggs. Great breakfast!

Truffle Avocado Toast
Michelle M.

We stopped by this cute restaurant for brunch after arriving to Mexico City. It was recommended by hotel staff and right around the corner from where we stayed. Service was friendly and quick! I ordered a chai latte and split a truffle avocado toast with my partner. Splitting it was a great idea because it ended up being quite a big toast! Delicious! And I really appreciated the cinnamon, star anise, etc. in the chai. Yum!

I'm super familiar with Ojo de Agua so imagine my surprise when we checked into Umbral, Curio Collection by Hilton and Ojo was the restaurant attached to it. Our hotel package came with free breakfast and Ojo was the restaurant. They had select items to choose from for breakfast so I went with the avocado toast, glass of orange juice (I only drink OJ outside the U.S.), and a side of fruit. I got this every morning and throughly enjoyed it. Also, every interaction with the staff was great and the restaurant grounds is well taken care of. It' also somewhat similar to the one in Houston, except this location has an upstairs area. It's centrally located and stays open to about 8pm. I also noticed they had a location in the airport.

Açaí bowl - 2 scoops
Phoebe H.

Extremely fresh and delicious açaí bowl. I ordered two scoops and it was the perfect amount. The mango was so juicy and ripe. The berries were also great. This place had great seating options and outlets which was convient for us to charge our laptops while eating here .

On a weeklong trip to CDMX, we visited this Ojo de Agua three separate times. Hands down, our favorite items to order were their juices and acai bowls. Each time, we ordered different juices and they came in big mason jar glasses. Strawberry and mango was delicious, but also ones that had more tropical fruit varieties, like Guanabana Coco and Maracuya (Soursop, Coconut, Passionfruit). We always ordered the large size acai bowls, which came with two rounded scoops of acai, granola, nuts, sliced mango, fresh berries, and banana. These were also so refreshing and appetizing. I also loved that you could order bowls of sliced fruit, and we did that with mango, which were always ripe and juicy. For their hot foods, it's a bit more hit and miss. We loved the chilaquiles with a tender shredded pork. The green sauce was not too acidic and really well done. The Eggs Condesa, on the other hand, was supposed to be over potatoes but the shredded potatoes were undercooked, and I did not enjoy the deli-style ham slices that were included. The Turkey Pesto sandwich was fine, but deli meats in Mexico are generally underwhelming. The Ahogado Pocha was another combination of fried egg, a lot of sauce, and cheese dish. For the sunny, bright cafe vibes and excellent fruits, acai bowls, and juices, Ojo de Agua is the best. As we traveled around Mexico City, we saw other beautiful locations in other neighborhoods so we will be sure to frequent them anywhere we choose to stay on our next visit.

Acai bowl
Amy B.

I was so excited to try ojo de agua when visiting Mexico City, especially after seeing photos of all their beautiful food! I went to the Condesa location and there was plenty of seating inside and outside with nice views out to the street. I ordered the acai bowl and it was absolutely delicious and so fresh. This is the most fruit I have ever had on an acai bowl and the mango was absolutely perfect! The service was also great, with the staff quickly remaking my bowl after a miscommunication about nuts in the bowl, which I am allergic to.

Omelette

The food was delicious and tasty, good price for the serving. Service was. Good they offer both Spanish and English menus. The ambiance is cute and relax

Midori G.

The service is a bit slow but this is one of my favorite places in the neighborhood to get breakfast. The fresh juices are very much appreciated. (The coffee is rather low-quality so stop for some before coming here.) The seating is indoor/outdoor. Prices are reasonable. This place fills up on the weekend so be prepared to wait!

Acai bowl
Jessica S.

Ugh i loved this place so much! I ordered a quesdilla w zucchini flower and adored both the tortilla and all the sauces it came with. The acai bowl was equally delicious and had a nice scoop on top. I saw there was a location in the mexico city airport and spent like 20 mins walking around on maps trying to find it only to realize it was pre security.... A testament to how much i enjoyed my meal here

Came in for breakfast 7/27/27, table for 4 on 2nd floor…read more Definitely a nice place to have breakfast outside of eating tacos every wherelse. We order pan de dulce for the table and we got 2 conchas, soft and warm just made. A chocolate roll and a fig and nata pastry along with coffee for the table. We order hievos rancheros with the red sauce. Huevos revueltos con chorizo, omelete con flor de calabaza y tamal de elote con crema. We also order a birria de res to share with the table. Service was very quick, efficient and friendly menus can be had in english or Spanish . My daughter order a hot chocolate with preparation table side, she said it was amazing. Fantastic place for brunch but arrive before 9:45am otherwise lines and some slight wait after 10am.

Found on Yelp as we were in the area. Yelp rating is earned. Came in at dinner time, like 5:45 on a…read moreweekday. Sent to 2nd for right away and seated right away as place was maybe 1/2 full. No music beyond the 2 guitar player going around table to table to see if you wanted a serenade. Skipped their offer 1st time around. Pretty quiet, bright and clean. Found that waiter spoke a little English and with our little Spanish got things done. Menus are bilingual Spanish-English. Ordered 4 lamb tacos, chile en nogada, cooked chicken in green sauce and a fish dish (forgot name, little spicy) then a coke, horchata and a pineapple drink. We got chips, cheese, sauce while waiting. Those were all nicely done but average. Dishes out maybe 10 min later. All presented well and hot. We shared each dish. Lamb tacos nicely done, little dry, but they give you some guacamole, a brown sauce, along with the green sauce and cheese with the tortilla chips. Nice, not fatty. Next was the chiles en nogada. First time tried this and really enjoyed, many flavors and nicely flavored beef. In general little on sweet side, so probably couldn't eat more than 1. The chicken in green sauce was a homey, comfort food. Nicely cooked chicken leg and thigh was an ever so slightly spicy sauce. Also came with tortilla wraps and Spanish riceLastly was the spicy baked fish. Done well, fell apart pretty easily, was spicy, but not too much. Had green beans on side done well, not too soft or hard, and Spanish rice. Drinks were all a hit. Coke is coke. Horchata and pineapple juice served in big mugs. Pineapple tastes freshly squeezed and horchata was a super solid example in every way. Oh almost forgot, later in the meal we figured out how to get the 2 guitar fellows to play for us. 2 songs for 300 peso, about 7min total. They did a good job with both the guitar and singing, was enjoyable to listen to them. Would stop back again if in area.

Summary- Spectacular lunch. No notes…read more Food- 5 stars Everything that came to table was amazing... fish tacos on two formats, one fried, one al pastor both awesome. Shrimp toastados also great, white wine clam pasta was very good. Service- 5 stars Friendly, fast, helpful- just all around great. Atmosphere- 5 stars Welcoming, bustling but not super loud. Drinks- 5 stars 10/10 Carajillo and the Jamaica mezcal was outstanding.

We made a reservation for 1pm on à Sunday. You must make them an advance. Not sure what the wait…read moretime would be but it was already packed when we arrived. Very busy restaurant and located in a very lovely area. The staff was amazing and in sync. We started with some cocktails - the guava mezcalita and jamaica mezcalita and also the chardonnay that was very tasty. Here's what we had: -Tostadas de atun(tuna tostadas)- must get -Ensalada de Pulpo con patatas tibias con albhaca(octopus with potatoes and basil) - octopus wasn't very good and there was no flavor -Pescado à la talla Contramar(grilled whole fish with salsas on top)I would only get the one with just the red sauce, the green sauce didn't have a lot of flavor. This is very filling and enough for 4 people -Tacos de Pescado estilo Ensenada(fried fish tacos) - these were ok The dessert, though!! This is what the extra star is for - The Meringue with Fresas(meringue cake with strawberries)- OMG soooo good. Even after how incredibly full we were, we could not stop eating this. Delicious and so unique but with the classic flavor of strawberries and whipped cream. Don't forget to add a carajillo! À delicious coffee drink with coffee liqueur.
