Reservations are needed.
The food is excellent, the service could be a little faster, but otherwise, the food, the drinks, we’re great and the service and the prices were very reasonable.
The rib with mole was outstanding!

The concept of the restaurant is amazing and so is the food. The heritage corn grown by the chef’s family is amazing so I would recommend trying the tetela (if they have it, menu changes often) and the ceremonial taco (represents what the restaurant stands for in a way). Also don’t miss out on the desserts, they are awesome! Kudos chef!

This was a highly recommended restaurant based on my online research and the reviews were not wrong! It is a small restaurant with a limited menu, but every dish ordered was amazing. Hands down my favorite dining experience of the trip.

Tiny cosy place. Excellent and fast service. No traditional Mexican street food but very refined dishes. Not super cheap but the price is very well justified. One thing I would strongly recommend though is to urgently change the cutlery! The knives have had their best time and don't serve anymore. Me and my girlfriend struggled with it and I saw our neighbours having the same problem. Overall great experience though.

I'll try to objectively summarize my experience yesterday (08.23.22):
Service: I found it good. We only had a "booking" for their waiting list and they were pretty attentive u0026 kind, and gave us a spot for four. Till there, all fine. The waiters were nice, educated, and friendly. Nevertheless, we weren't offered their tasting menu which we only got to know it existed in the middle of the dinner by eavesdropping. A shame because we wanted to try as much as possible.
Food: some dishes were extraordinary (ie. Sopes con pato or taco de barbacoa) but some others were just average at best (ie. Quesadilla con huitlacoche or the tarta de pera). It was basically a tossed coin in the air, 50/50 chances of getting something delicious.
Price: many others have complained about the high prices of the dishes, I will agree that for the size of portions, they are extremely expensive considering that this is Mexican food (cheap by default) and this is not a Michelin stars restaurant. Now, I understand that the ingredients are so "special" or "rare" that they are expensive so I get the pricing but it still feels a expensive for the local people, now having seen that many guests are foreigners, they may not have an issue with that and therefore the pricing strategy is justified.
Overall: it was a good place, it was a nice experience, not sure though that is one to repeat unless I feel like paying 700 pesos (33€) per person. In my pictures you can see a hand next to a dessert to put perspective to the small size of the portions.

What a lovely place this is. Don't be fooled by the exterior and treat yourself to a lovely night of Mexican food.
