Cabanna Restaurant — Restaurant in Mexico City

Ouch! I was excited to recommend this place to my partner given the rave reviews. We walked the 20 minutes from the Anthropology Museum instead of going back to Centro. The food was good until we found a very long thin black hair that was intertwined amongst the mixed seafood tostada. YUCK! (We’re both guys with new short hair cuts so it wasn’t one of ours…!) We brought it to the attention of a manager looking guy. He was apologetic and offered to replace it. He brought a replacement and we then ordered another beer. And we waited and waited (for the beer) Finished the food and waited and waited (for the beer). Then there was more waiting (for the beer). We concluded that there may have been a miscommunication which happens. No big deal. We looked for the waiter to ask for the check. Then the beer arrived…. (No extra effort on speed or attention given the hair experience…). We begrudgingly drank the beer and then asked for the check. Nothing comped. We really wanted to get out of there. It may have been just a bad night. But, we wanted to leave an honest review of...

We had a reservation for a surprise bday scheduled for 7 pm, we arrived a little earlier but they didn't have our table ready, so we had to wait outside the restaurant till 7:12, luckily the bday guy took a little longer otherwise that wouldve ruin the surprise. The food is great, the "kesito Cabanna and tostada especial de pulpo" are a must. The service is really bad. Over multiple mistakes and examples of bad service I want to tell that they over charged us with 2 products we called it out they didn't wanted to remove them from the bill, nothing bad but still no one wants to pay for something they didn't order. At the end of the day we paid for it and took it from guys tip, since it was his mistake. So my recommendation when you go in a large parte, keep record on what everybody asks for like we did, otherwise they will try and f y up...

For fresh ceviche and literally a "beautiful" salad check out Cabanna. The restaurant is nestled in a exclusive area of historic, yet chic homes in CDMX. The food was very, very good and in fact we ordered more after our initial order to sample more of the tacos they had. The only issue was a obvious riff or miscommunication amongst our waiter and one of the servers. While he was taking our order, she handed him our appetizer of guacamole instead of simply serving it on the table, which made him stop, put his pad down, serve us and then re-start our ordering process. His annoyance though out our meal with her was felt and somewhat soured the mood. In fact, it was the topic of our discussion through out lunch as we were wondering whats up between these two? Great...
