My husband and I are huge foodies and have traveled all over the world eating amazing food. This is our perspective of Pujol. I thought the service was fantastic, the space is beautiful, the food is beautiful, but I probably would not go back. I thought it was extremely expensive in comparison to other restaurants in Mexico, but I’m sure it is mainly because how renown this restaurant is. The dishes were not something I would normally pick off of a menu, but I felt they were all executed very well except I was disappointed in the tuna dish. I know the mole is very famous, but I think it would be better served with meat or something to put it on top of. It is very rich by itself or just with the tortillas they serve it with. I thought everything was very tasty, but this type of style is just not my favorite for a dining experience (very “cutesy” with ingredients you have to look up because you have no idea what they are). I was concerned about it being enough food, but we were definitely full when we left. I think some people love this type of restaurant, but it’s not my favorite style. That being said, I’m glad we went and had such a unique meal. I also want to add that I think chef Enrique Olvera is very talented and inventive.
