Had the tasting menu. Loved listening to the history of the food and culture. We loved everything except one of the dishes. Waitstaff was outstanding. Overall excellent experience.

The food was incredible. We all did the chef's tasting menu and were really pleased. Each course was presented beautifully and we left feeling full and very satisfied. The wait staff gave us history of the food as it was presented which made for a wonderful experience. The ambience is beautiful and a full bar for those who want cocktails was available.

What a lovely experience with excellent food, wonderful wine, lovely decor and attentive service! We especially loved the short ribs served with the homemade tortillas (made from carefully sourced corn varietals!) The portion size of the dishes was generous which made trying and sharing dishes delightful.

The restaurant was clean and not too busy, but that may be because I booked a pretty late reservation. Regardless, it was why I booked late anyhow, so it worked out. I arrived about 10 minutes early, so they had me in the waiting area. It was actually nice to see the entrance of the kitchen and how busy and bustling it was compared to the vibe outside. I ordered a Paramo, which was reminiscent of an old fashioned, just obviously with mezcal. The food was great, but what highlighted the experience even more were the servers explaining the both the story behind the dish and the ingredients that went into it. The highlights for me that evening were the potato leek soup, the surprise pine nut/habanero(?) mole (I dunno if it was the color, but it really reminded me of biscuits and gravy), and their interpretation of quesa birria. Pricewise, it was worth every penny. I look forward to revisiting and seeing how the menu evolves. Thank you to everyone involved in the process. Sidenote: I booked solo with no issues.

Three people ordered 'a la carte' and ate family style. Wonderful variety of food and flavors. This is the way.

Before I decided to write this review I emailed the restaurant specifically about my experience, however with no response, I decided to make my experience public. My fiance and I got engaged and wanted to celebrate together there, both getting the tasting menu— appallingly overpriced. We got 8 courses each, one course was a SINGLE oyster per person. Another course included 3 julienned carrots. Another course was a single, plain corn tortilla. I do not understand how this restaurant felt good, morally, about the price of that menu for the items served. The plain corn tortilla was a slap in the face and quite frankly offensive given this was 128$ per person.

Andrés was so awesome and knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our experience. I can't rave enough about how delicious everything was, especially as primarily dining vegan. Our favorite was the mushroom mole, it was so spicy and sooo outstanding!

The food was amazing. The service incredible. We enjoyed our time and Andres and team made the night special.
Positives: everyone was nice. Cocktail was great. Short ribs were good. Negatives: staff trying to do too much with the price fix meal and the à la carte menu. Slow service. Quesadilla was grey - very off putting. Didn't taste good either. Plating is very boring. Soup was “eh”. Seems like you're trying to do something but it's not hitting the mark.

The drinks and dishes are original and interesting and fresh. Also, for you gluten free folks, most of their dishes are corn-based rather than flour, and anything can be made gluten free, and vegetarian and vegan.

We had an amazing meal from the a la carte menu. Service was impeccable and the restaurant space was elegant and quiet enough for conversations without shouting. All and all a great night out!

Just tried their $130 tasting menu... and wow, what a letdown. Basically the whole meal was corn and tortillas in every possible form—purees, crisps, masa everything. Looked pretty, but got super repetitive fast. Almost no real protein to speak of—just tiny bits here and there. We left hungry and kinda annoyed. Service was fine, vibe was fine, but for that price? Nah. Felt stingy and one-note. Wouldn't go back. 1/5 — pretty to look at, disappointing to eat.

Spent New Year's Eve at this restaurant doing a tasting menu and it was the most amazing experience. We had about nine servings. Everything was exquisite and the service was amazing the food was spectacular. Highly recommend.
