I'm so glad I came! Excellent barbacoa, and the service was friendly and attentive. One of the…read morewaiters noticed that my table was wobbly and came over to fix it for me. Highly recommend coming here!

El Hidalguense is a traditional Mexican restaurant in the Roma Sur neighborhood of Mexico City…read more They specialize in lamb barbacoa wrapped in maguey leaves and slow-cooked overnight. They have two stories and we went to the second floor for our table. QUESADILLAS ($135 MXN) - we ordered the potatoes and chorizo which were good. Note that by default these will not come with cheese so you'll have to specify you want it with cheese if the server doesn't ask. 4/5 QUESO FUNDIDO ($150) - this dish came a little late and the cheese was hard quickly making it not too appetizing. Even if it came sooner I don't think it was too memorable. 3/5 CHORIZO CASERO ($190) - these were chorizo pieces grilled and sliced. They were smoky, charred, and delicious. These were the group's favorite by far. 5/5 BARBACOA ($1100) - these are sold by the kg and we got one kg for our group of 8. It was a good amount but we had some leftover. With the rest of the food we ordered we could've gone with less. It was tender but some in our party found the lamb to be too gamey especially after eating more and more of it. 4.5/5 GUACAMOLE ($85) - by default it was spicy but you can also ask for non-spicy. It was a standard good guacamole. 4/5 It's a family-style type of restaurant where many of the dishes are served with tortillas, salsas, limes, cilantro, and onion. You get your hands dirty at a spot that is very local and traditional.
