Caballo Bayo — Restaurant in Mexico City

Went with a group of 8 for dinner after the museum and it appeared to be a nice restaurant so we expected good service. That was our second mistake after walking in- the food is average nothing fancy just regular Mexican food. The decor is nice and has a decent view but the service is at a very low level. There’s so many people that came to our table and the staff would forget things or never come back, and made several “silly” mistakes. One particularly annoying thing is that we would ask for a specific drink and they would try to change your mind for a promotion. We took them up on one of the promotions for an espresso drink and liquor 43 and regretted that immediately. They said it’s 2 for one and brought out one drink and then wanted to charge the second drink. Some other notables- they brought salsa and no chips- after 20minutes they brought exactly 8 chips in a basket after having asked twice.

If you're looking for a serious meal in Mexico City, you've got to check out Caballo Bayo. Let's just get this out of the way: yes, it's definitely on the pricier side, so be prepared for that.

Whether you're into cocktails or something else, they've got that covered and done incredibly well. So yeah, it's a splurge, but for the amazing food, fantastic service, and excellent drinks, Caballo Bayo is totally worth it for a special occasion or when you just want to...

My family and I came here as our last meal in CDMX. We had the great fortune of having Arely as our server and Edgar as our manager. We had the absolute best service. We felt like we were being treated like kings and queens. Arely also gave the best recommendations when it came to the food we ordered and the alcohol pairings that went along with them. Some of the absolute best service I’ve ever had and the food was top notch. Cannot recommend this place enough. Gracias por todo Arely y Edgar!
