Wow wow wow is all I can say! A delicious, wonderful, eccentric, beautiful sensory experience…read more Martha Ortiz knows what she's doing, and she should absolutely keep doing it. The ambiance was great, presentation of the dishes were complete art, and the food itself was so delicious, a vibrant and eccentric modern take on the traditional flavors and ingredients of Mexico. In addition, the staff was more attentive than most other restaurants I have been to in Mexico City, as well. As this is a popular tourist destination, many of the wait staff also speak English, which is quite helpful, too.
They have the standard menu, but also have a small menu that changes monthly. This month it was "love is love", and had many romantic pink and rose themed dishes.
Definitely on the pricier end of restaurants in Mexico City, the small plates can easily make the restaurant tab add up as you want to try a little bit of everything. Considering this is such a unique, one of a kind experience, though, I would say it is absolutely worth the splurge. As far as my main dish went, the fire dance fish, it was halibut, and the flavor was amazing. The pumpkin tamale that it came with was so good, and definitely changed my thoughts on tamales MUCH, much for the better.
To summarize, Dulce Patria is a unique, artistic, beautiful, delicious place that I would absolutely recommend a trip to.
