Wow. This place makes my other 5-Star reviews seem wrong. On a mother/daughter trip to Mexico City, we dined here for dinner since it was nearby to our hotel, and I'm so glad we did. We started with cocktails, both fresh and delicious, especially the sangria. Then we got an appetizer, a tuna tar tar with grasshoppers! We wanted to try something a little out of the ordinary and it delicious! For mains, I went with a grilled steak on a tomato and leek tart, and my mom got duck confit. She said it was "the best meal she ever had." My dish was also so good, I didn't want it to end. The wine selection was also excellent. If the food didn't already impress us, the service was OUTstanding! I speak very little (bad) Spanish and the servers were accommodating and helped make sure we had everything we needed. If I lived nearby I'm sure I'd be a regular. read more

See all

Big fan of Temporal. It's one of the better upscale modern Mexican restaurants in the Condesa. The food is uniformly good and the service is attentive. After three visits, this one goes in my top 5 for the Condesa. The only issue is that beverages arrive later than the food.... it has a bar on the first floor and I think they pour all drinks so they are out of sync with the kitchen. Small issue but it has happened all three times read more

Had dinner at the bar last night. Great staff at the bar and certainly knew how to pour a martini. But the braised Beef Short Ribs nearly knocked me off my bar stool. By far the best I've ever had. You cannot go wrong with it. read more

What a cute little restaurant in hipodrama! I went with two friends and myself for a late dinner before we went to a bar. The food was great. I had the filet and my friends had the lamb and the filet as well. My friend didn't like his lamb all that much, but he said it was fine. I like the drinks there- they had a special drink and varieties of drinks as well. Price was great and the vibe was beautiful. The building is nice and open and the service was great as well. I would definitely go again when I am back in CDMX. read more

Amazing meal. More emphasis on vegetables than most Mexico City restaurants- and if you avoid salads when traveling (yes we're gringos, but we don't get sick) the veggies are very welcome. From the roasted cauliflower appetizer to the vegetables with our beef and fish dishes, everything was delicious. And the citrus cheesecake was amazing. As were the cocktails. Very reasonable prices. read more

Awesome food and drinks. Mixologist is on point here! Emily really takes her job seriously and makes her drinks with love. She is truly an artista. Go for the food, stay for the warm atmosphere and amazing cocktails. read more

Amazing. Traveled from New York City to CDMX and wandered into this multi floored bar/restaurant. The drinks were incredible. The food exquisite. And super affordable! Great for a date or small groups. Just a true gem. I can't say enough about this place!! A++ read more

Everything I ate was very good. The menu changes regularly but there are always good meat, fish, and veggie options. The cocktails were also very interesting. The staff was always very friendly. The top floor has great ambiance, overlooking a busy street but privately away from the bustle. It's a reasonably priced place for a nice date or dinner with friends without be too fancy or pretentious read more

Food was mostly ok, and nothing stood out as great... given the wealth of other options in the area we won't hurry back. Started with the octopus tacos, which were quite tasty. For mains, we had the grilled octopus and the picaña steak with tomato-leek tart. The octopus was good, and so was the tart, but the picaña was so stringy and chewy as to be very difficult to cut with a sharp knife and completely inedible in parts, beside not having much flavor. Service was ok if not great -- I had finished my beer by the time the appetizer was gone, and would've ordered another if anyone had noticed or asked; no one did for the remainder of the meal. read more

Amazing place for food and drinks. If your in the area highly recommended. I got the picaña great dish overall the meat was very buttery. Waiters are professional and always attending. read more

Perfect cocktails and perfect food! It was quiet on a Friday evening. Such a treat in La Condesa!

We had wonderful service and a fantastic meal. I would have trouble thinking of a better restaurant back home in Seattle. We had the bass, cauliflower, vegetarian lasagna, quinoa salad, and hummus. All were great. Even the house bread (and especially the basil oil that came with it!) exceeded expectations. read more

Great meal! Was relatively empty when we came in. The mezcal cocktails were spot on! The autumn salad and pulpos tacos were great! I was hoping for the braised pork enchiladas but they were out - unwillingly chose the braised lamb. Wow it was full of spectacular flavors. Highly recommend this place. read more

Great spot for drinks, we didn't try more menu items but their pulpo tacos were tasty and I have no doubts their food would be up to par. We will come back read more

We had the most delicious meal for $35 USD. I ordered the fruity and flavorful Zombie drink and my boyfriend had a citrusy mezcal cocktail with complex flavors. While we waited, bread was served with an incredible herb and oil spread and a slightly spicy marmalade. The wild mushroom risotto was one of the best things I've ever eaten. We also loved the roasted cauliflower and the quinoa salad was fabulously light and full of so many flavors. Everything about the food was perfect, but the atmosphere made the experience. It's a beautiful modern building with windows everywhere and a lofted dining room. If I lived in CDMX, I'd be there all the time. read more

we were given bread chimichurri and a jam curtesy of the house, which was excellent. we had the tomato soup which had depth in flavor. the vegetarian lasagne was overwhelmed by the mole sauce and was heavy. the tuna tostadas were disappointing - the tuna itself was good but the guacamole overwhelmed its flavor. it was wasted on this dish. for desert we chose the cream burle. again, the flavors did not come together well. clearly chef Diego is creative and put effort into the dishes, but they did not satisfy our palette. read more

Absolutely loved this restaurant! I stumbled upon it randomly and I am soooo happy I did. From the food to the amazing service, I couldn't have asked for more. Adolfo and Humberto were the absolute best! They were very patient and kind even when one of the dishes was over powering for our taste buds. Would definitely return!! Also, I didn't get her name but the bartender made the best drinks! read more

Amazing dinner! We were craving some veggies after eating traditional Mexican food and were happy to find Temporal. We ordered the gin berry drink and spicy mezcal marg type drink and both were amazing. The bar even adjusted them to lessen the sweetness/sugar. The chimichurri sauce with bread was super fresh and yummy and we also enjoyed the fruit paste with chili (unsure what it actually was but resembled a semi fig paste). As for food, we weren't starving but needed to eat so got the fish over fava purée and the roasted cauliflower head - both VERY GOOD. The restaurant was empty which made me sad since the food was fresh and the service was great. Highly suggest going if you want a fresh alternative to traditional Mexican food. Ambiance was also very posh. Drinks were around 100 pesos and the fish was 250 pesos. This meal in the US would have cost triple the price. read more

I had a great experience here! The food, drinks and service were all excellent. I had the braised pork enchiladas which were easily some of the best enchiladas I've ever had. My companion had the octopus tacos and said they were great. They brought out some complementary bread with a delicious guava jam and spicy cilantro oil that made for the perfect combo. I only wish I had been more hungry so I could've tried more things!! The cocktails are well-crafted and flavorful. I highly recommend visiting Temporal if in the area. read more

This place is 1 block from the Air BnB I was staying at and had great yelp reviews so I decided to check it out. Didn't have a reservation but they were able to seat our party of 4 immediately. We were brought to a table but then told by another employee that we needed to sit at a different table downstairs... ok, no problem. We ordered our drinks and they all showed up a few minutes later except mine. I was the only one who ordered a cocktail so I figured it would be out shortly. Our appetizers came and I began to wonder if my drink had been forgotten. Our waiter went missing for about 15 minutes so we flagged down another employee and inquired about the drink. Our entrees came out and then my drink a bit later, no apology. Our server asked if anyone else needed additional drinks and 2 of our party members ordered more. We finished our food and eventually the server shows up with the 2 drinks about 20 minutes later, said sorry this time but we were already finished eating. He left dessert menus with us and then disappeared again for another 20 minutes. Eventually we flagged down someone else to ask for the check. Our server comes back with our bill which was about $1800 pesos. All of our drinks were on the bill at full price, whatever. I paid with a card and the server suggested we tip him 15%. He never checked on us during the meal and we had to flag down other servers multiple times but he apparently still felt that he should be tipped 15%. This is a higher end restaurant and the food was good but the service did not match at all. Would not come back. If you want a fancy evening out where you feel like a cherished guest, spend your money somewhere else. Had 10x better service at cheap taco places around the neighborhood. read more

The food was amazing, beautiful dishes, imaginative flavor profiles. The only reason we don't give it 5 stars is because although our waiter was nice, he wasn't super attentive and we had to call for his attention a couple of times. read more

Great food and drinks, their take on fish and chips is outstanding! Also like the gnocchi. It's a lovely restaurant but it lacks Annie e or warmth if they could get more energy in there I would go all the time! read more

Impeccable service and outstanding dishes. I had the gnocchi to start then salmon with a cucumber martini. With tip the bill came to $30 USD. read more

We had an awesome meal here last night. We ordered the cauliflower app, crab sopes, octopus tacos, pumpkin tart. Everything was delicious. Service was excellent. My cucumber martini was also really good. I love the neighborhood too. read more

Great place to try new things. The menu changes according to the season, but the service is awesome all the time. Try the Dark Martini made with mezcal. read more

I never usually write reviews, but I was really impressed with Temporal. I went by myself and sat in the bar. Excellent and very well executed cocktails, the food was delicious - I had the tomato soup with goat cheese and the pork shank with poblano mashed potato and beans. The meat was fall off the bone tender and both dishes were full of flavor, but not over seasoned. The service was warm and professional. I felt taken care of but also had plenty of time to enjoy people watching and read my book. Mil gracias Temporal, me encantó toda la experiencia! read more

This is my first visit to Mexico City and I am overwhelmed by all the delicious restaurants. Temporal made my night. The Chef is FANTASTIC. My husband and I enjoyed the Risotto with Mushrooms, the Cauliflower and the Red Snapper was out of this world. The ambience is lovely with the perfect lighting. The service was friendly, professional and extremely thoughtful. This is a perfect dining experience for a romantic dinner or a fun evening with friends. We will be coming back. Thank you very much Temporal! Muchas gracias. read more

This place has delicious food but terrible service. Currently on one hour post our reservation, still waiting...

Dinner Sunday here was my least favorite meal of our weekend trip. Not many places were open Sunday night so our choices were limited. Even the nice atmosphere did not make up for the average food. The octopus app and pumpkin soup were both ehhhh. My short rib entree which the server recommended was a yawn. And what's up with grounded up rabbit in my friend's rabbit mole? My pregnant gf's gnocchi however was amazing. She didn't like it as it was rich and cheesy. So I ate most of it because I have no shame in eating a pregnant lady's food. My veggie gf's vegetarian entree was a salad for rabbits. She did not enjoy. The desserts were awful. The chocolate tart was an overly sweet chocolate mousse cake or brownie. And the apple dessert was an odd diced apple crumble with an overwhelming cardamom taste. I only took one bite of each. Last time that happened was in 1999. My pregnant friend however liked the desserts. Skip this place unless you get stuck on a Sunday night. In which case you should only order the gnocchi. read more

Nice place, food was good. Price was alright. Didn't have the character I was expecting though.

We came here to watch one of the World Cup games with a group of ex-pat journalists. They had a big buffet set out of sausages and ham and croissants and fresh fruit and so on, all of it completely excellent. Upstairs seating was excellent and we all had a good view of the tv. On the downside, service was a little slow. Requests for more juice might take a while or might be forgotten altogether. On the whole I thought it was a pretty good place. Oh, also, it's a bit pricey. read more

Went for my birthday dinner on a Sunday night. Most restaurants in the area were closed or closing early. What luck!! This place is fantastic from all aspects of food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. This place puts most American upscale/ casual big city restaurants to shame at half the price at least. Great cocktails, a very nice inexpensive French cab, and every thing we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented. The perfect choice for a romantic dinner. This was a true find and one of the reasons I plan to return to Condessa/Roma again and again. read more

Went to Temporal last night we got there late, and the wait staff was on there goes. We were seated by the manager, the jazz band started from a break and was very smooth and not overpowering. The drinks were very good, I had a mojito. The food was excellent. Had to complement the manager. Definitely will be a regular when we are in Mexico City. read more

Definitely our favorite restaurant we ate at in CDMX. Perfect place to go on a Sunday night!

Brilliant. Open late, deee-lish, creative, wonderful atmosphere. So good. So good. I got you!

Our favorite bar in Condesa, friendly efficient staff, great drinks, and a nice neighborhood feel. Food is good too.

We actually went twice because we enjoyed it so the first time.... unique tastes and exquisitely fresh seafood. The pulpo is perfect, both the entre and taco as well. Service is excellent; The wait staff is very accommodating but not overly ingratiating. read more

Excellent meal- everything was delicious. Open on Sundays which is unusual here. Excellent service. Highly recommend octopus tacos and cocktails read more

Food was perfectly cooked, service was great, will definitely come back next time im in mexico city.

Another great meal in Mexico City. Located in the beautiful Hipodromo area, the restaurant is light and airy. Appetizers were well made and included a wonderful goat cheese and tomato soup. Main courses were a perfectly cooked piece of fish over a potato puree with mushrooms and brussels sprouts. We also had a delicious pasta and shrimp dish. Dessert was a beautifully presented piece of cheesecake. Finally, my wife recommends the "incredible" tamarind margarita. I had a delicious local stout. After dinner, this is a safe and beautiful neighborhood to have a post dinner walk. read more
