“ Hidden Gem: 5 tacos Do's: Enchipotlado, Satai and Tartar Atun Dont's: Everything outstanding Good drinks, warm team and homie place ”
“ In a city where you can find the same tacos everywhere, Senior Harvey, the chef provides something different and amazing. His menu and tacos are inspired by his travels throughout Mexico and the world. He tries to take from the different cultures and different spices and prepare foods that are a representive and a mix of both many Mexican and other cultures. I think he did a great job. He got his experience working at the best hotel restaurants in the city and from what I can rememberhas had other restaurants in the city in past. We did not try all of his tacos. However, we loved the octopus tacos, pulpa, and the Baja fish tacos. Some reviews commented on the flavoring of the tacos but the tacos are served with a well-curated amazing selection of salsas, from mild to extremely hot and we were encouraged to use them and I would encourage you! to try them also. This restaurant was one of the only places we ate at where you can actually taste the alcohol in the drinks. We didn't try the dessert but reviews from others say it is very good. We enjoyed talking with the waiter and the owner. The evening was wonderful and dinner memorable. Yes, the restaurant is very small and we were extremely fortunate to walk by and grab a table because of a special event happening at the Zocalo that evening. The area was fairly free of people. I agree other reviews that the seating is tight. It's probably best for singles and couples. So when I come back to Mexico City this first place I will try to return to. Hopefully I will find a seat. ”
“ delicious seafood tacos and friendly service. the shrimp chorizo taco was my fave! seating seemed limited so highly recommend making a reservation. ”
“ Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Especially the tuna tostada and the taco of poblano pepper stuffed with fish. Excellent and very friendly service. Mezcal sours were 10/10 too. Unassuming but definitely worth a visit! ”
“ Excellent tacos! Plenty of protein in each bite. Chef/owner is very kind & we are so happy that this was recommended. Modern decor & aesthetics. Seeing the Jura espresso machine made me want a Carajillo with my meal but the ginger spritz was what I chose. ”
“ Absolutely incredible meal all around. Great service, delicious food, and warm ambiance/vibes. We had the risotto and many different tacos—all wonderful. Thoughtful and creative dishes beautifully presented. 100% recommend! ”
“ This place is truly a hidden gem! If you are looking for a place that offers inventive, complex and fun seafood dishes this is the place to go. We did have a wait but the staff was gracious and provided us a shot of mezcal as an apology. Flavors and service are next level, would definitely recommend. ”
“ A idem Gem in the city. The food is carefully prepared and flavour full. The revive is relax and made with attention. I loved the terrasse, the food and the very nice place out of the tourist track. Go there and try the fish tacos. It’s worth it! ”
