    When I arrived in Mexico City from Cancun, this was the first restaurant I visited for lunchThere were musicians, and as soon as I sat down, they came over to meI really enjoyed the experience from the very beginningThe restaurant is historic, authentic, sophisticated, and beautifully aesthetic. I loved the vibe. After all the seafood in Cancun, I had chicken and quesadilla style food here, and it was delicious. The music and the sophisticated, historic vibe made the experience even better

    What a fantastic restaurant! We came here for our New Year’s Eve dinner and had an incredible experience. We made our reservations via email, and Jose was quick to respond and answer all my questions. There was a long line when we arrived, so I suggest booking ahead. The decor is stunning, filled with vibrant Mexican flair and a festive vibe. The staff were English-friendly and efficient, and we got our drinks and meals smoothly without much wait! The drinks were extremely delicious (we ordered the horchata, mango margarita, and mezcal cocktail), the food was flavourful, and the meat was perfectly tender. Later on in the meal, the Mariachi band came out and it was such a great experience in itself! The atmosphere of this restaurant is very homey and lively, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate New Year’s Eve in CDMX! Highly recommend!
