Chiles en Nogada were on special and they were delicious. Tried chilaquiles another day in the morning and they were amazing. Micheladas were great!

Awesome Cinco Leches cake!

Inside track: Spare some time to savor the visual details, from the vivid enamel serveware, to the inventive napkin outlay, to the antic urban murals by Mexico City artist Cecilia Beaven.
by Houston Chronicle
The electrifying house salsas; chilatole soup with serrano; quesadillas de huitlacoche; Tasajo y huarache (filet strip and corn cake); chilaquiles rojos or tacos de canasta from Sunday brunch menu.
by Houston Chronicle
Try the quesadillas de huitlacoche, they are not like the popular quesadillas they sell , these are deep fried and real Mexican food!

Cucumber margarita and ceviche. Delicious!!
by Tracy S.
This authentic Mexico City bistro is filled with fresh and delicious foods. The chilaquiles and the casero molletes are for sure a must try here!
by 002houston
Try the mole verde, potatoe tacos were excellent and spicy. Great!
by David O.
Its contemporary aspect is seen not just in the decor and strong cocktail program, but in the fun interpretations of classic, real Mexican dishes. [Eater 38 Member]

The best drink is the Bandido, try it!!!
by ernesto gallo
Don’t expect to see your typical Tex-Mex quesadilla. Here it’s corn dough, filled with a cheese and huitlachoche (a black mushroom) mixture, and then it’s fried. It’s a crispy, cheesy, savory pocket.
by 002houston
Mole verde . WOW..

by Bill A.
It's Mexican food gone avant-garde. The Green Mole is absolutely delicious.

Delicious cocktails, innovative appetizers, and surprising, complex food that is plenty "shocking" without being overwhelming. Presentation is just adorable...sad we couldn't keep the straw donkey!
