We sought out this small restaurant on Madero between Constitucion and Vallarta on the recommendation of Claire at Galleria Dante who said she employed chef Vicente 30 years ago. We were not disappointed.
We were offered free starters of crispy tacos with something like Mexican coleslaw.
I had the Sopa de Azteca which could have been a little hotter but was creamy, flavourful and full of crispy noodles.
My wife really tasted the coconut in her coconut shrimp served with rice, mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables and a mango sauce that she found a little overwhelming. (199 MXN Pesos)
Unusually my chicken fajitas were served on a plate not a skillet but were well cooked and presented with fresh guacamole and salsa and my requested tortillas de maiz (corn). An excellent dish for 110 MXN Pesos; $6 or less than £5.00.)
We chose a Chilean Chardonnay for 199 MXN Pesos and found it very fruity and not at all acidic as is often the case; one of the best Chardonnays we have ever tasted.
The total bill was just 508 MXN Pesos (less than $28.00 or £21.50).
Service was very professional if slightly distracted by chat with the chefs at the end...
Read moreboyfriend and i went per good reviews even tho nobody else was in there (first mistake). ordered pork pozole, mahi mahi con mariscos special (second mistake- forgot that specials are usually less fresh) and the surf n turf. service was excellent and server was very friendly and good at his job. prices were just ok, more than we were expecting given everyone praising the low prices. we overall thought it was a good meal, until 6 hrs later….. we were puking and pooping our brains out starting 6hrs after our meal, and the symptoms continued through most of the next day. the food tasted ok we thought, but pls stay away from this restaurant, especially if nobody else is in...
Read moreAesthetically simple restaurant with the most amazing food. The Chiles en Nogada was one of the best meals I've ever had. Just trust me, it is mind blowing. It is a pretty complex dish and it was done to perfection. My girlfriend had the chicken enchiladas and that was fantastic as well. The beans on the side were delicious. Our service was amazing. Their waiting staff was so friendly and personable. All of these wonderful things to say and the meal was totally affordable! The restaurant is in a very fun part of town as well. The nightlife in this area was superb! Telling everyone I know about this place and will be back every time I visit...
