We got the grilled sea bass and burger and they were pretty average. The side of fries was unfortunately way undercooked.

He was the exception: surly and seemed to resent having to talk to customers. When my wife asked for a dish without the spicy peppers (same as she'd had the night before without problem) he said no.

Service was immediately available but I had my Spanish speaking son lead me to stations in which they served chicken or seafood -- quite good.

The presentation of everything was stupendous. The surroundings and vibe were also great. It felt like you were in a garden oasis nestled amongst trees. The servers were friendly and helpful. There was a fruit bar, chia seed pudding, oatmeal, fruit parfaits, breads, grilled veggies, all sorts of drinks (coffees, hot chocolate, etc), and lunch options available during breakfast. It was definitely upscale and a splurge. I loved the ceramic mugs that the drinks were served in. I also liked the staging of all of the stations and how it was often in traditional Mexican pottery. The bad: Some of the food was so so. The interesting: There were tons of vegetarian options.

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.

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.

I'm no expert, but my friend is, and we loved all the food! My favorite was probably enchilada verde. They also have free tostadas with 4 different salsas.

I would 100% come here again if I'm in Mexico City.

Came back to Comedor Jacinta on my recent trip to Mexico City and I have to say the food isn't as…read moregood as I remembered. The small plates are still tasty and unique but the flavors and portions have gone down. I got the bone marrow sopes, sopa de lima, oxtail gorditas, and beef tongue for tacos this time around. Everything was good, especially the beef tongue tomato stew which was super flavorful. The beef tongue was perfectly tender and so yummy with the broth. It was a bit odd to eat this in tacos though considering there was so much sauce but good by itself as well. The only dish I didn't like was the bone marrow sopes which this time around felt much smaller than when I had it last. There was barely any escamole which we added on and the bone marrow pieces were so small. While it was one of my favorites the last time I visited, I wouldn't get it again.

Anyway, I got the recommended ayotl tamale (pumpkin and dried shrimp) and it was so incredibly amazing. It came wrapped in banana leaf and piping hot and when you open it, you can smell the warmth and deliciousness. I was already half way into this heaven when the server brought a tray of salsa. Tamales this good don't need any salsa but I decided to give it a try. Wow!!! I was once again blown away by the tastiness. The salsas were full of flavor, spice and they have a little kick to it. I love them. I wish I could eat more but I'm stuffed to the max. The hot chocolate is thick, grainy and definitely chocolate-y. I appreciate that they have a set of menu that's all in English. It saved me from having to use my Google translate. The server was very polite and friendly. Tamales are more expensive than what you get on the food carts, but you don't see pumpkin and shrimp tamales on those things.
