During my 5 day stay in Mexico City, I apparently saved the best for last! It was my intention to eat only traditional foods during my visit and for me, that was tacos of all varieties.

Read moreAmazing service. But I had to ask to be moved 2 times due to the volume of the music. Then had to ask the staff to turn it down. You would think after seeing this mentioned so many times in the reviews they would adjust it better.
We ordered a mixed drink, wine, steak, creamed spinach, and the mushrooms. The speciality drinks were okay. Nothing over the top. The spinach was cold and okay. The mushrooms were tasty and the steak fantastic. We enjoyed the complimentary dip at the beginning.
This was a nice experience but could have...
