Alakazam — Restaurant in Mexico City

I gave three stars because I've had a good experience and a bad experience with this restaurant. First time I went there was great, had the quinoa porridge and the pancakes with homemade nutella. Was delicouse. They also have a great selction of tasty cakes. Second time visiting which was a week later I ordered the the Acia bowl. The bowl came out with the fruit and granola sitting on the bottom and the frozen slab of Acia sitting right on top that had just come out of the packet !!!??? So after I took it back they blended the slab and it came back as a ball in the middle. It's obvious whoever was in the kitchen had no clue whatsoever on what an Acai bowl is meant to be. Anyways I rolled with it because I really wanted to eat it but then the mango which had come from a tin was completely off and smelled amd tasted rotten which had touched some of the other fruit as well. I let them know that the mango was off amd they were apologetic but if you completely stuff up someones breakfast then you should at least give them a partial refund. Anyways, I think it can depend what day you go and who's in the kitchen if its going to be good or not....

We are vegan gluten free and soy free travelers. When we found this place on happy cow, we thought lets give it a try! My family is not vegan, but they were willing to try the food. ALL 7 people got sick. I don't know if they didn't wash their hands or what! For 9 days I had fever and diarrhea, and my family were very ill. I needed to have antibiotics and an IV. I HAD TO PAY THOUSANDS BECAUSE OF THIS PLACE! I had to cut my trip short because I needed to come home to get treatment. After almost three weeks I'm still sick. We ordered humus that tasted funny, and eggplant, a few orders of tacos, and a few more dishes. We all shared the food so we didn't know what made us sick. I wish I could contact sanitation or something because I don't want anyone else to get sick. PLEASE OWNER MAKE SURE EVERYONE WASHES THEIR HANDS PROPERLY AND PEOPLE HANDLING MONEY WASH THEIR HANDS BEFORE TOUCHING ANY KIND OF FOOD, AND AFTER GOING TO THE BATHROOM. I contacted the owner after I got sick, right away and he refunded the meals, but I am still left with huge medical bills because of poor...

The food here was First Class, Top Notch, A plus! It was a fine dining experience. But let me start with the vibe, they have the tunes and the music on deck! It was soul house + afro house atmosphere. Just real vibey. I could have stayed just for the tunes alone. Next, they adorn your senses with the aromatics of the place. The restaurant smelled so good. It put me right at ease and I just felt that all my senses were delighted. The ambiance is great. The service is great. I loved it.

Now for the FOOD! The truffle fries, baby!! Damn! I will absolutely be coming back for those fries! The Turkish burger!?! Man, what??? That was FIRE! I thought it was real meat. Its made with Beyond meat and it was juicy, seasoned and had hella flavor! Thank you for that! I will be coming back for that too!

They even had delicious mocktails that go beyond a limonada! I had this lavender mocktail and it was everything!

They got it all! Can't wait...
