Alioli — Restaurant in Mexico City

No-frills, homey Spanish cuisine on a busy corner in Colonia Roma Norte. This unpretentious Spanish eatery has just a handful of tables inside, making it a bit of an escape from the hustle and bustle outside—though the road noise is still noticeable. I was instantly greeted and handed a menu.

I ordered right away as I was craving paella. It didn’t take long to arrive, and the aroma and presentation were excellent, and two pieces of prawns were the protagonists of the main dish . While the portion size was a bit smaller than expected, the flavor made up for it and overall was a very solid plate of paella (8.5/10). The friendly server checked up on me throughout my visit, which I appreciated.

This was my first meal upon arriving in Mexico City, and I stumbled across it because it was conveniently close to my Airbnb. The food here is as good as the Spanish cuisine I’ve had in Spain—I was genuinely impressed by how delicious everything was! The server was incredibly kind, and the restaurant itself is small but has a relaxed, cozy vibe.

You can see the kitchen staff working in their tiny kitchen, and they did an amazing job. Every dish was fantastic, but the shrimp was the true standout. The garlicky, savory sauce was absolutely divine. Their sangria was generously poured, giving me a nice buzz that paired perfectly with the meal....

The dining experience at this restaurant was a true delight, especially thanks to their impeccable seafood dishes. The shrimp Al ajillo stole the show with its flawless execution, cooked to perfection and bathed in a mouthwatering sauce that practically begged for a dip with their freshly baked bread. Equally impressive were the mussels in the white wine sauce; their tenderness and flavor made them some of the most delectable I've ever had. If you're a seafood enthusiast, this place is a must-visit for a tantalizing culinary journey. Manuel the chef and his recipes will forever be on my top 10 Favorited...
