Los Sifones — Restaurant in Mexico City

I heard great things about this place through reviews and even from a YouTuber. The overall feel was disappointing. Many said the food was good and really only went to try the molcajete because I the US, there is 1 place that has a miraculous flavor. I bought a house consome and the arrachera molcajete. For over 300 pesos for these 2 dishes, I will never go back. The consome flavor was ok, but not worth the price. It had chunks of meat that were a bit tough. Not sure if it was heart, gizzard or what, but not a good quality meat.

The tortillas that come with the food are unique in that they are rectangular, but other than the novelty, it felt dry in my mouth and not a great flavor compared to the tortillas I've had all over mexico for over 6 months.

The molcajete was pretty sour, and just blurs out the rich flavor I was hoping for I have had a fair amount of mocajetes in the US and a few in Mexico, and this was 1 of my least favorites. After all that I asked for the check and no one brought it. A second waiter was asked and 10 minutes after being asked, acknowledges and says he will bring it. Still another 25 minutes later we asked a 3rd person and finally got the check, but their machine rejected my card 2x. It was their machine. Eventually they looked for a working device.

In total it took over an hour to square up the bill after a very dissatisfying meal. After I left, I was very thirsty, thus, they probably heavily salt their food as well.

Disappointed overall. Had a lot better food for a lot less in lots of...

At Los Sifones, you have to get the molcajete. It is a boiling cauldron of meat, cheese, cactus, salsa, onions, avocado, and other items that you wrap in tortillas. It's a nice experience in more of a traditional setting. The wait staff are all very friendly and on top of things. We also got the pastorcate, which are al pastor tacos mixed with avocado.

The restaurant is unique in that the tortillas are all square shaped. Regardless of the shape, the food was all delicious here. We also got the natilla for dessert, which is a custard with blackberry jam. It was very refreshing and not too sweet. Definitely one of our more memorable...

Coming from Queens, NYC, I had better food in Roosevelt Ave to be honest. We felt left out due to no waiter coming to check up on us at all. We had to ask for the check at the counter. When asking "the manager" what had happened to our waiter? He said he left because he was sick and nobody told him he would be leaving. This is a big red flag for the business and people consuming food here. Also being a good tipper that I am I was disappointed at myself for leaving 600 clean and the...
