ARANGO Cocina de Raíces

The food is average to mediocre. They need to find a good chef for this nice restaurant.
The duck confit has nothing to do, it should be a complete piece while they serve some tasteless minced meat... The fish was much better. The hummus is not that good. The best they had was the pork skins (chicharrón)!
The restaurant is very nice with panoramic views, especially if you are seated by the window on the side of the monument to the revolution.
Friendly service.
Some prices are good and some others are very high!

Great VIEW of MONUMENTO A LA REVOLUCION, hostess was attentive but formal, waiter need some more relationships skills, the drink was awesome ???? red fruit spirit and mimosa … food was ok although without any surprise or intention to be a great dish… so far not bad but not the best or unavoidable … open bar for mimosas is definitely a plus plus

The food was delicious, the service was TERRIBLE. We were seated immediately but had to wait over fifteen minutes to order drinks. We then had to wait another 20 minutes to order our food, but our server didn’t even take our order, we had to flag a gentleman in a suit and ask where our server was.

He then decided to take our order, we came here for a full coursed dining experience, but the gentleman immediately took off after only taking our orders for our appetizer, when it was obvious we wanted to keep ordering.We had to flag him down to remind him we had not finished ordering. The gentleman had no knowledge of the menu or wine pairings. My friend wanted the duck but was told they were out (something that should have been 86’d off the menu with The Whole front of house knowing this). When we finaly ordered our entire meal, the service was not smooth and seamless at all. Our drinks sat empty with us reminding staff we’d like to order more cocktails (the Jamaiquilla is delicious by the way). It was 20+ minutes in between courses, our plates were only changed once during the whole meal. For the price point, ambiance and quality of food, the level of service is just not reflected with the food being served. The staff were nice and kind, but it is clear that this establishment needs training as to how a fine dining establishment needs to serve their guest. While the food was delicious (the Chile en Nogada was superb)I would not recommend coming here.

Save your money and go to Restaurante Rosetta.The staff are knowledgeable, and the service is seamless. You never have to ask for anything because the staff anticipates the needs of guest, while controlling the flow and course of the meal with such surgical precision.

This place offers high end Mexican cuisine, well executed menu and fresh quality ingredients, many dishes are interpretations of classical Mexican recipes using high quality ingredients, really an amazing culinary experience. The view from the terrace is magnificent, overlooking the superb Revolution Monument, try booking around sunset to enjoy an amazing view.

Arango is absolutely magical. The views are stunning, and lesser restaurants could skate by on the ambience alone. But Arango goes way beyond its terrific design and show stopping views - the staff is extraordinarily friendly and engaged and the cuisine is worth raving about. One thing to note about Arango is that it actually has reasonably sized portions - ie. Not the gigantic plates you will find even at incredible super fine dining spots like Maximo. This is greatly appreciated, as we like walking home feeling satisfied but not weighed down! Also worth a shout out is the burrata salad - possibly the best I’ve had outside of Italy! (And we live in NYC!) - The black esquites are also quite special. You can’t go wrong here.

Arango was recommended by a local colleague. While the food was pretty good, the overall experience wasn’t. Our reservation was for 7 pm on a Sunday. There was only one other table seated. It was obvious shortly after we arrived that they wanted us out of there as soon as possible. It was strange when they asked us what we wanted for dessert while we were finishing our appetizers. I had to remind the waiter that we hadn’t received our main courses yet. And literally 10 seconds after we finished our main courses our desserts arrived. Also this was the only time in Mexico I can remember our bill being given to us before we asked for it. This was our last night in Mexico City so we wanted a night to remember. Well it was a night to remember but for the wrong reason. I would not recommend this place.

Sorry guys. Amazing location. View. Great service but the food is basic or under. The cake was full of liquid sugar. Nothing special. Life bufe food. From such a place you
Expect much higher level of taste. The steak was so hard to eat. No wow effect at all. Looks good but so not special
