La Aceituna — Restaurant in Mexico City

My husband and I supposed to go the this other restaurant that I've been, which was pretty good but the store was busy. So we ended walking around and checking some other restaurants.

So that was a great experience in La Aceituna. Kodus ko Juan! We'll definitely come back and I would definitely recommend the place. Good price, great food and...

I knew I would be disappointed but I still held some hope. But I tried their “mixed paella”, and it’s nothing close to the real deal. I’ve had good paella before in Panama (i.e. outside Spain), and this is definitely not it. They put chicken and pork and breakfast sausage links in there… and the rice itself was just not it. Services was good, until come check out, I gave them std 10% tip and waiter suddenly gave me the body language of someone whose mother has been slapped. Definitely would not...
