Agrotaberna Monstruo de Agua — Restaurant in Mexico City

Love love love and would be back many times for so many different occasions!

Walking through the door, the first thing l loved was the space itself. Every shelf is alive with objects that feel like they’ve been collected over time.

If you like artisanal beers it’s deffo your place, for me the cacao, horchata, and chai were honestly out of this world, and I am always grateful to have these items on a menu. They also have prebiotic sodas and incredible looking cocktails 👀

Everything feels intentional and super conscious. The food is next level delicious and I wanted to order the whole menu. Went with tacos, my fave was the Milanesa, and the esquites were mind blowing too.

The walls, drinks and food are full of stories and if you are curious it’s truly mind opening! I felt like my cultural and geographical understanding of Mexico City expanded...

We really wanted to make it back, especially for the DJ event they mentioned, but it’ll have to be during our next...

We did an incredible brewery tour today. My partner and I learned so much. We started in Condesa and the CEO drove us to one of their brewery sites an hour south of the city at the foot of a volcano and talked to us about sustainability and harvesting from the land they have the brewery on. They make beer, mead, and cider. 5 dogs on the property and the woman that runs the home made us mole and an incredible lunch. Matias has a PhD. in economics, he started a collective with 11 of his friends. He was so well-spoken and knowledgeable. A wonderful...
