EQUIPALES Artisan Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Nuevo León

This place is a gem! I stumbled upon this restaurant during a last minute trip to my hometown. The place is so distinct and their food is absolutely mouthwatering and delectable! Chef and owner Yago, was extremely helpful and so friendly, he took the time to visit every table and would often come back and check on everyone. He gave us a tour of his beautiful establishment and provided us the history of how the concept came to him. The restaurant offers chefs specials as well as an elaborate menu from four regions of Mexico, including Cuidad de Mexico, Puebla, Oaxaca and Veracruz. The chef shared that the cooks come from the regions and specialize in the dishes from their regions. They also bring all of their Ingredients from the region specific to the dish. Believe me! You can definitely taste it!

For our dinning experience - We tried a variations of artisan waters and mezcales. For our appetizer we opted for the traditional guacamole and blue corn tortilla quesadillas with Oaxaca cheese, this could have been a meal in itself. They were 4 large perfectly tasting quesadillas. For our meals we tried the mole pipián with rice and their tamales. The food was full of flavor, cooked perfectly and to the best temperature. Every bite was complete bliss!

I highly recommend Equipales, we will be frequent visitors when in town and we are looking forward to...

Wonderful experience. I heard about this place, but it was beyond my expectations. The place is very unique, since you get to the restaurant ( you have to ring a bell to let you in) you know something special is going to happen. Very attentive service, the chef and owner is very charismatic. I highly recommend to follow their suggestions for entrees, main dishes and spirits. We tried the mezcal Cenizo, it was beautiful, soft and aromatic. The quesillo was fantastic, one of them is smoked by the chef, it is a truly gem. As main dishes we tried enchiladas with a variety of moles, and the equipales beef, both were splendid . One of the greatest things is normally someone can describe Mexican food as hot or spicy, which could be a nightmare for sensitive stomachs. But, this is not the case, food is very flavored and tasty, but it goes easy with your belly. Amazing. Highly recommend, don’t miss it. It’s one of those places that you remember with a smile...

El restaurante tiene muchas áreas de oportunidad, llamas para hacer reserva ( porque se requiere) ya que es un lugar cerrado al que hay que tocar a la puerta para que abran.. me recuerda un lugar en Zacatecas " Los Dorados de Villa".. Cuando llame y pregunte si hay estacionamiento me dijeron que si.. solo que no me dijeron que es la calle . Cuando entras luce con una decoración un tanto de mal gusto.. papel plástico simulando ladrillo.. te llevan por pasillos angostos, como un laberinto..sin ventilación, oscuro, nos llevaron por una escalera que en un par de ocasiones resbale..no es apto para personas mayores o con necesidades de movilidad( silla..etc), o si se toman sus mezcales..es peligroso incluso para los meseros con la charola. las paredes y techos decorados con carrizo.. tocaba un joven y un sr mayor una marimba, el sr hacía como que cantaba..se esforzaba..cómo los techos son de una casa adaptada..la acústica no ayuda..te enteras de lo que platican a lado, la comida tiene buen sazón..los moles, las salsas, pedí las enchiladas de mole vi en fotos de reseñas que les ponían aros de cebolla cruda . Las que pedí no tenían.. que bueno porque no me agrada ese emplatado, las aguas artesanales las sentí muy dulces.. no se con que endulzan si según no usan azúcar..espero no sea con jarabes de maíz..los meseros atienden rápido pero secos no atentos.. no te dan sugerencias..ni te ofrecen postres.. cuando me dieron la carta plastificada..me sorprendieron los precios tan altos no corresponden a la oferta gastronómica..hay restaurantes costosos y restaurantes caros..este es caro porque la experiencia del lugar y la comida no va acorde..siempre que acudimos a un lugar nuevo leo los comentarios para no llevarme chascos..( lamento no haberlo hecho) el instagram cumple su cometido...vender mercadotecnia... La carta cambio..vi que publicaron platillos como jabalí, salmón..conejo..actualmente son platillos de ingredientes más básicos.. cecina, suadero, quesillo, frijoles, maíz. Cuando llegue lo que quería era irme..no por los precios..sino x el ambiente..repito..la comida tiene sazón..No regresaría... Y tampoco lo...
