Paxia, founded in 2005 by Daniel Ovadía, revolutionized contemporary Mexican cuisine by combining innovative techniques with Mexico’s most emblematic flavors. Over the years, it became a culinary benchmark both in Mexico and internationally, pioneering the evolution of modern Mexican gastronomy.

Today, Paxia reemerges with a renewed vision under a more mature chef. The menu blends tradition and innovation, reflecting Ovadía’s personal growth. Each dish tells a story that captures the essence of Mexican cuisine with a sophisticated and unique twist.

The restaurant is located on the rooftop of Hotel Umbral, within the iconic Edificio España in Mexico City's Historic Center. With breathtaking views of the capital, Paxia offers a dining experience where gastronomy, architecture, and culture come together. Dining at Paxia is the ultimate way to experience Mexico!

Visitar este restaurante en el corazón del Centro Histórico fue una experiencia excepcional. Desde el momento en que entramos, nos recibió un ambiente cálido ylleno de detalles. La comida fue simplemente espectacular. Probamos los tacos de la plaza, lasaña de chicharron, tuétanos al horno,quesadillas Oaxaca Para acompañar, no podían faltar las aguas frescas que estaban deliciosas. El servicio fue impecable, con meseros amables que conocían bien el menú y ofrecieron excelentes recomendaciones. Los precios fueron razonables considerando la calidad y la ubicación privilegiada. En resumen, este lugar es una parada obligada para quienes buscan una experiencia gastronómica mexicana auténtica y memorable. Sin duda, regresaré en mi próxima visita a Paxia . ¡Altamente recomendable !

It was just dreadful, just about everything about this place was wrong, from the ugly rooftop patio with no charm to the bland table settings to the meh service and food, or the plate presentation was completely unimaginative, and the flavors of the food reflected that. So at least there’s continuity. This was, hands down, the absolute worst meal we had in CDMX over seven days. You can do much, much better elsewhere. What a waste of US$98! This was recommended to us by the Concierge at our five star hotel on the Avenida de la Reforma. Will have to have a chat with them tomorrow. There is absolutely no way this should be on their list of recommended restaurants.

Es bueno, ya no magnifico, no hay nadie q te reciba ni llegando al hotel ni al llegar al restaurante! La atención no es tan atenta, el restaurante es sobrio, la música muy baja y la plática de otras mesas se escucha mucho, la comida es buena, ya no sobresaliente como algún día lo fue!

Pesima atención, el mesero de malas toda la tarde, aventando los cubiertos y platillos. Algunos platos fríos después de que se tardaron fácil hora y media para llevarlos a la mesa. Lo único rico son las bebidas pero no vale la pena el trato tan grosero de los meseros para ellas….
