Best Authentic Restaurants in Desierto de los Leones

My husband and I spent a month in Mexico City eating in a different restaurant from the Michelin Guide each evening. Migrante was by far the best. The atmosphere is lovely, the waitstaff is excellent and the food is inventive, beautifully presented, reasonably priced, and delicious.

We enjoyed our dinner — it was pleasant but not extraordinary. Gracias!

Almost perfect dinner - our waiter, Jorge, was exceptional throughout the meal. His recommendation to start with the sopes with shredded pork was perfect, and he had a great balance of being present without hovering. He was also very patient and gracious with our limited Spanish. The flavor and preparation of our entrees - tamarind shrimp, and enchiladas with three moles - was fantastic, as were our desserts (flan, and a sweet corn cake). The only drawback - and for the cost it was significant - was that the entrees arrived within a minute of the appetizer, and while they were taken away and re-served about 10 minutes later, somehow the shrimp remained appropriately heated but the enchiladas were mostly at room temperature. We did not want to complain at the time, having seen too many Americans abroad do so with great rudeness and did not trust our Spanish to do so appropriately. Thankfully even lukewarm the enchiladas were very good - but it still took a bit out of an otherwise great experience.

Saks is always dependable for very good Mexican cuisine which is authentic and has great service, as good as any in the world. We were attended by Edgar as manager of our area and Ivan who was our waiter. Can’t wait to go back. Live entertainment was superb.

All good, outstanding food and service, excellent choice for a special dinner or celebration
