    Contemporary Mexican

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    The entrance on Calle Alfonso Reyes gives nothing away, but step inside this contemporary Mexican restaurant and there are tall cacti, a small fish-stocked lake, and the feeling of a courtyard that somehow forgot it was in the middle of the city. The menu moves between aguachile and pasta without apology, and a crème brûlée finished with Kalamata olive is the kind of move that sounds wrong until it isn't. Good for a date, fine for a family, easy for anyone.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Serrano and pistachio aguachile

      “Everyone enjoys being here as they connect over plates like serrano and pistachio aguachile topped with shrimp or cavatelli tossed with blue crab and finished with an anchovy breadcrumb.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Crème brûlée

      “Crème brûlée delivers a strange-sounding surprise with the addition of Kalamata olive, but it's a convincing finale.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Mussels in white wine

      “familiar dishes are executed with finesse, from a banging Caesar salad and mussels in white wine to cauliflower with chimichurri and a cracking crème brûlée.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
