Becco Café — Restaurant in Mexico City

TL;DR: Coffee was 4/5, service was 2/5, price was 3/5.

For those who are here for the chisme: I spent $68 MXN on one latte. The flavor was fine, but it din’t make me want to go back for another one. Because of this, I will say it was very expensive. Comparatively, Quentin Cafe has a much better flavor and is $60 for a latte; I never get tired of their lattes.

Now, I understand the Polanco tax, BUT if I’m paying that much for a coffee that doesn’t even taste that good, I’m expecting the service to be good. It wasn’t. I paid for my coffee and told the cashier I’d come back to pick up my coffee in 5 min (I needed to use the restroom). I come back in 5 min and ask the barista for my coffee. The cashier is looking at me like I’m stupid and patronizingly says “here it is”. If I’m going to pay for a Polanco coffee, I expect to be treated kindly at least. Never...

Terrible experience overall. My fiancee and I went there and it felt like the waiters just wanted to serve you as fast as possible (the place wasn't crowded). I asked for a simple bottle of water and they tried to sneak in the most expensive one. We barely finished the meal and they started cleaning the table (again, rushing us to leave out). When paying, they asked me if they could charge the service. O said yes since I Know there are other employees. But unlike other restaurants, they simply sneaked in 20% to the bill. In much simpler restaurants, the waiter would have the dignity to ask me how much I would like to pay. I would definitely not go there. Terrible value...

Disappointing Service and Dishonest Behavior

I handed the waiter 500 for a 320 bill, but he disappeared without bringing the change. After 10 minutes, I had to flag down another waiter to ask about it. Eventually, we received the money—without a single word of acknowledgment or apology.

It’s frustrating when a place assumes they can take advantage of tourists. This kind of treatment leaves a bad impression and makes it hard...
