Tasty food! Relaxed and authentic setting in a nice walkable area. Service is friendly and welcoming.

This was hands down one of the best meals I've ever had. I'm not exaggerating. I think this might even be #1 but I might be suffering from recency bias. But I doubt this will ever leave my list of top meals I've had in my life. The first thing we had was the beef tacos - just exquisite. It was a such a careful and smart balance of flavors. Although it had a rustic feel, it was clearly something that had been carefully put together with meticulous attention to detail and texture. When we had the first bite, I literally turned to my fiancee and said "How are they going to top this?" But they did. We got the octopus and the pork shank. Both were just unreal. They were pieces of art - literally - with the most unique and creative ways to bring out the flavors. I was especially wowed by the octopus. We had tried from many different other places during our visit and enjoyed consistently, but this one really stood out because they had balanced the lime and salt masterfully with a sweet potato puree and quinoa. If you're looking for some Mexican food that isn't just authentic, but elevated and proud. This is a MUST GO. Looking at the awards and lists that this place has been on, it seems that it might be past its heyday (2019-2021) but I can't subscribe to that in the slightest. My theory is it fell out of trendiness for some reason or didn't capitalize on the press. The staff, the food, the atmosphere - it was just incredible. I can't recommend this place enough.

Super delicious and incredibly unique dishes! We enjoyed every bite and definitely came across dishes we hadn’t seen in Mexico and definitely not in the US! Our waiter was super sweet as well. The inside of the restaurant was gorgeous and decorated very well. Lovely hidden gem that you must eat at!

Great experience. Service was quick and nice, food was great, and the cocktail I ordered was tasty. Waiter recommended the rib eye norteno, which was delicious. Came with some tortillas so you could make little tacos with it or eat the steak by itself. Cooked perfectly and was super filling

Great spot. Reasonably priced with good food and large portions

Hands down the BEST meal we had two weeks traveling in Guadalajara and CDMX. split a bunch of the appetizers, the cauliflower, arugula, and steak with mole. The cauliflower, arugula, and little triangle joints (forget the name) were INCREDIBLE. Even the free chips they give you with salsa were good. The service was also impeccable. attentive but not pushy. Vibe was also really nice. A little pricey but absolutely worth it. Do yourself a favor and make this a stop when you’re in the city! AND GET THE TRIANGLE THINGS ROUND 2: Came back a year later and this place is STILL fire. Margarito our waiter even remembered us.

Hidden Gem & simply excellent! Nothing to add to previous reviews.... fantastic food, superb service and a very cozy atmosphere. Almost didn't go in because it was very empty when we got there. And that would have been the biggest mistake ever. We will definitely come back again this week. 5 Stars !!!

I really enjoyed our meal here. Great food, great cocktails, good service, casual environment. The price is amazing, especially considering the quality and location.
