Eight years ago, Maximo Bistrot started as a restaurant for the thinking and execution of dishes from a wide range of techniques with the best of local ingredients; a warmful place that communicated our love for food. After a long and heartwarming road at our current location, we thought for the need of moving. Our new home, located at Alvaro Obregon 65 bis - a much wider space where gleams of natural light shine upon the surface-, is carefully assembled by Gabriela's meticulous look, and a kitchen built within Eduardo García's early memories, while living as an inmigrant in a barn in Ohio. Despite this big change, our principles initially founded remain the same: to offer food that distinguishes the best of local products.

    The highlight was the shrimp cocktail served in a bowl of Mexican style cocktail sauce with sliced avocado on top. Absolutely delicious. The fish tacos were good too. For dessert they show you all of them on a plate and they all looked great. I chose the fig tart and was very happy to try it. Definitely recommend Entremar.

    Everything about this restaurant is 5 stars. The food was amazing!!! The only thing that dropped it down to 4 was that a member of our party ordered a glass of wine. He really liked it and wanted only one more glass. The waiter told him that the wine was no longer available by the glass and he had to order a whole bottle, and, in fact, no more red was available by the glass. Very strange. However, I would highly recommend.

    Food was good. Entries came in fast but main dishes took a little longer. Great waiter service. Green soup which is one of my favorites was missing a distinctive flavor I could not taste this time. Pulpo a la Galleta was great!
