Drinks and food were outstanding. Had La patrona margarita, smoky, spicy and strong. Definitely coming back for a few of those. Also the aguachile and the Zarandeado Red Snapper were very delicious.

The food was exceptional! The staff was attentive and eager to help with food and drink choices. The ambiance was beautiful, comfortable, and not too noisy. Highly recommended for a special night out.

Best Mexican food I’ve ever had! The standout for us was the appetizer shrimp tacos. Cocktails were spectacular and unique — the mole old fashioned was absolutely fantastic. We sat at the bar and our bartender was the best. Excellent cocktails and conversation!

We went for happy hour. Prices were fair, portions were fair, and service was really good. Our server Kevin clearly took a lot of pride in working there as he told us all about the executive chefs, their CDMX roots and their menu. Everything we ordered was delicious. Flavors were fresh, vibrant, and well composed in every single dish and the mezcalito I had was outstanding, as well. When one adds the vibe, it does feel ever so slightly like some of the restaurants we have dined at in CDMX. Overall, great experience. Protip: We didn't realize we had to valet with the Driskill Hotel on Brazos Street, so we parked at the Omni. That was perfectly fine, but next time I would valet on Brazos.

Food was less Mexican than I expected. I thought it would be more like ATX Cocina, Bulivar, or Nomade. Wasn’t expecting mostly steak for mains. The ceviche was delicious though. The shrimp taco as nice. Very expensive for what we got compared to the other restaurants I named above.
