FELINA — Restaurant in Mexico City

The overall experience was fine. We were also looking for light bites from the bar (cheese, etc) and it was hard to tell if they had it or not (they don’t anymore- just tacos from next door). The tacos are very very good, just not the vibe we were after. The drinks were alright. The mezcal was delicious but the mixed drinks were meh. The San Jose Negroni had a strong mint to it that made it taste similar to crème de menthe more than a classic Negroni.

The atmosphere was the perfect lighting, but the Dj did not work the space well. People had to come up and tell him to turn down the bass because of the off putting vibrations from the furniture. The music choice was solid, just poorly mixed.

We were unfortunately placed in the corner next to the bar and the staff did not look in our direction for quite some time.

I would say this spot is ideal for outdoor seating as you still get the music without the weird vibrations and the servers were more active at...

2025 #10 (CDMX #10, Cocktails #1): have literally been meaning to come here for years (stopped in in 2022 but never ordered anything).

The drinks and vibe here are great!

I ordered the 1Claro Negroni ~$179 (gin, vermut carpano bianco, vermut carpano dry, chartreuse amarillo, bitter de habanero, campari) and it was strong and delicious.

I had a hard time choosing what to order because so many of their drinks sounded so interesting. While I didn't order anything to eat, the tacos my friends ordered all looked great and I'll probably come back to try some next time. Service was also very good/friendly (especially for a busy Saturday night!).

No pretension here; just good drinks :)

Perhaps the darkest bar I ever encountered, Felina would be perfect for a clandestine meeting. I couldn’t see anyone’s faces, and Felina was packed with people. The bartenders take mixology very seriously and work so hard, they have no time to engage. I’m a gabber and enjoy talking at a bar. That was impossible at Felina. However, if you’re planning on having an affair, meeting someone you don’t want anyone else to know about, having drinks with a group of ugly people you don’t want to look at, Felina is the...
