Service is generally attentive, though some find it inconsistent. Popular for brunch and dinner, reservations are recommended to secure a spot in this lively, culinary gem.

Just an overall excellent meal and a highlight on our trip to Mexico City. I detracted from the ser ice because the food came out so fast we felt a bit rushed.
If you can get a table, take it!

We were looking forward to the dinner. The food was bland, lacked seasoning, the fried bean dish was greasy and soggy. The vegetable curry was flavorless and thin. We asked for salt to help with the flavoring but that wasn't enough to recover the flavor. The timing of food felt rushed, all plates were on the table at the same time. We were unable to finish dishes because of the lack of flavor. Plates were not cleared until we asked for the check. The waiter seemed unhappy and didn't check in on our experience. We have had many amazing restaurant experiences in CDMX. We don't recommend adding this to your list.

The best restaurant experience we had on our trip. Delicious food. Fire brick oven for smacking flat bread. Great drinks and a relaxed fun vibe. Highly recommend!

Very nice chill environment. Kind of dark inside; everyone is using their phones to light the menu. Food was good. Some dishes were better than the other; steak was top notch. Carrot cake was very good as well.

Muy amables todos pero la comida bastante mala, parecía que estaba todo pre hecho.
Lo único bueno fue la hamburguesa.
Pudiera ser que Iván el gerente descanso hoy pero el restaurante debe de funcionar al 100.

The place is very cozy and has a wide selection of drinks and wines. The food is good in general, but extremely limited for those with allergies. If you have Celliac's, they have a gf bread, but it tastes like an afterthought to be honest. Avoid the gluten free pastries, they're cross contaminated
