Everything about this restaurant in Mexico City was absolutely top-notch! The food was outstanding, the service was warm and professional, and even the coffee was excellent. The live musicians created such a wonderful, vibrant atmosphere — it felt truly authentic and full of life. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Mexico City! 🇲🇽🎶☕️ Ten stars ✨ The team makes you feel special. From the free, really tasty starter to sliding the serviette and steak knife in subtly. I asked if they had juice "No, but I can make something from strawberry, berries, would that work?" And it was the best juice! The goat cheese salad and mignon steak was delicious. I loved the 80s & 90s music though it might not be everyone's style. A little bit of a cold experience- maybe we were just a little out of place here! I had read reviews that this was great place with a large wine selection and so wanted to get an afternoon drink. It’s definitely more of a sit down fine dining experience than I anticipated from reviews. We didn’t receive a wine list but were brought three bottles to choose from. It seems like the heavy recommendation was the most expensive bottle ($60 usd). I googled the price after we agreed and had time to pivot if we weren’t comfortable with the price. This was fine for us, but would have appreciated more clarity on our options. The wine was good- very dry red Mexican wine. I’m not sure if they have a drinks menu, but we didn’t get one and we spotted the tequila and if given a more clear option, I’m sure some in my party would have ordered a cocktail. Wonderful service & only reviewing so people have more perspective on the vibes as we felt a bit awkward when it was not what we expected.

This may have been our best meal so far in CDMX. We snagged an early reservation for dinner, arrived & were quickly seated. We ordered the pan y salsas to start and OMG the bread was the best I’ve had in ages. It was soft, fluffy, cheesy, and spiced just right. It’s served with a tomato with balsamic vinegar, two salsas, butter. Perfection! We both ordered the steak with four pepper sauce, and because I’m a child, I also got the French fries with ketchup. It was all so good we didn’t get many photos. We’re planning to go for breakfast this morning too!

I’m glad I gave this place a try. It’s right at one of the Zocalo corners. The decor is inviting. Place is cute and clean. The service is friendly and respectful. The food is delicious with a twist to a Mexican home made meal. This place also has a great selection of wines. The prices are fair in my opinion. I’ll definitely go back anytime I’m visiting CDMX.
