The inner courtyard is nice but space between tables is narrow. Waiters should give more space, they are all over you all the time and it can be annoying, but overall they provide a good service. Prices are a little high but most of the dishes and drinks are worth it (from what we had only the grilled octopus and the carajillos were not that good).

Read about this place in Mexico must do lists everywhere so decided to see what all the fuss was about. Had calamari and steak tacos to start (more like steak spring rolls tbh), good but a bit underwhelming.

Mains were good, fish dishes are part yummy. Devastated that I couldn't manage to find any room for dessert :(

Excellent decor, great staff, BANGING Margaritas! Great place for snacks and drinks or a nice dinner.

Warm welcome in a discrete, charming and dimly lightened setting.
Service staff was reactive. However we would have liked a bit of more of patience when it comes to menu explanation.
Great choices of cocktails, especially the one with lychees. For main dishes we went for the octopus and the asparagus risotto. The creamy risotto was delicious: subtile asparagus flavor with a tiny bit crispy rice. The octopus in itself was good, not chewy at all. However it was too oily (served with lentils) and the herbs overpowered the dish. To balance it, we ordered mashed potatoes: we recommend this combination.

The general ambient of the place is just so cozy! I recommend to go to this place with your couple or a group of friends for dinner time. The dishes they served are a mix of Mexican, Mediterranean and Asian food and the result is just delicious. Also the cocktail menu is full of mezcal, tequila and gin drinks which are a must to try!

Delicious, within every Chile en Nogada you order, you get a Mexican flag

The place is a little hidden in the street, but as you come in it looks really nice and cozy.
The service for us was excellent, but it was a slow evening for them, so I don't know if is like this every time. Food was delicious and we had a wonderful French wine. The decor was really beautiful too. We had Chile en nogada and it was the best I've ever tasted.
I would strong recommend to visit this place if you want a quiet/romantic evening.

If you want to spend an afternoon with your friends, good food, good drinks, and good mood this place worth the time.

Most of the sitting area is at the center garden (it has a roof, don't worry) so you can feel relaxed in such an open place.

The food is good, although not memorable.

It is located in a trendy place so you can be sure that if you need to keep the mood elsewhere you can walk and get to another place in no time
