The food itself is an experience, it’s a wonderful combination of flavors and textures. The atmosphere is very charming, it has a modern but classy and earthy look to it. Very cute place. Our server Enrique (first day) and Manuel (second day) were extremely helpful with the suggestions on the menu, and Enrique’s story telling about the history of the restaurant was amazing. They have cocktails, beers, and a full bar, including a wine list very well versed. They have about 14 tables, and a special area for private parties. It’s good choice for small and larger groups. Prices are extremely resonable, they serve Pastas, seafood (robalo, pulpo, salmon, ceviche), cerdo, cordero, rib eye, short ribs. 335-750 (Mexican pesos), and Entradas - 140 - 330.

Really outstanding food. Very good wine selection and excellent service. We had a private room for 12 people and it worked perfectly. The decor is very good and they let us have our own music in the private room.

Nice place to have a drink and dinner. The sizes are big. I really recommend the cheese (entrance) and the pasta. We also ordered some chicken with noodles and they were pretty good, it was an interesting combo. The place is not that expensive, the prices are fair enough, but it is not cheap. The service is really nice, and the environment is pretty calm and even romantic.

Best dining experience we had in Mexico. The Chef who is apparently a famous cooking author designed each dish individually and perfectly coming up with a balanced infusion of salt, sweet and acid. We ordered bunch of small plates and pretty much all of them were great. There was a pistachio pesto salad which was creatively paired with grapes to the perfection. The octopus sope was amazing and all other dishes too. I wish a NYTfood reviewer or someone happens to find this place some time randomly and makes it what it deserves...

Mexican fusion. Food looks amazing. Came in a group and had a chance to order a variety. Octopus was good and highly recommended. Came on a weekday and was not overly crowded.
