👍 I think it’s fairly new cause I am here a lot and last time they were building it. I started off with the beef tail soup and it was fantastic. For my main course I had the red snapper on a bed of red peppers with baby squid and mussels. The snapper was cooked perfectly garnished with chopped asparag...

    I think it’s fairly new cause I am here a lot and last time they were building it. I started off with the beef tail soup and it was fantastic. For my main course I had the red snapper on a bed of red peppers with baby squid and mussels. The snapper was cooked perfectly garnished with chopped asparagus. The squid was in a sauce I did not care for, it could be an acquired taste. The mussels I did not even attempt just for the fact of seafood that far from the sea especially mussels. They looked and smelled very good. I ended my meal with the creme brûlée. It was very tasty. As for beverage I had a Cabernet wine with sparkling mineral water on the side. Overall I will be back next time I’m here as the hotel is right next to it. Price was very good as well.

    Food was good, though expensive for Mexican standards. The pork (cochinillo al horno) is their house specialty and was good. Wine by the glass over $200 pesos per glass. Bottom line $100 dollars for dinner for two seemed excessive for Mexican standards. Service was great

    Not a good experience! The staff was relatively unfriendly and curt. Even though the place was pretty much empty they made me sit at a corner table that was not very comfortable or convenient. The food looks really good but was over-seasoned. What’s worse, I got food poisoning after eating here and as my last meal was way earlier I am quite confident the source of it was from this meal. Not a good experience and I’d not go back.

    Probably the best restaurant in the Airport. Would recommend to anyone that can leave security while traveling. Every item on the menu that we tried was delicious. Grilled octopus was amazing. Prices were reasonable concidering it was in an airport. Will eat here again.

    Nice ambience, very good service, and the generous grilled chicken platter was delicious. Not to mention complimentary gourmet bread and 4 dipping sauces. My go-to for a bit of luxury in México city’s airport.

    We had a nice lunch and killed some time between flights. Great service-- the food was good but overpriced which is expected at an airport

    My Mexican partner and I stopped by here and I had been a couple of times before and enjoyed the food so wanted to introduce him to it to. The food is good, but a little on the pricier side which we dont mind. When it came to the time to tip the waitress, we tipped 20% and her demeanor changed completely and she became very huffy and irritated. I am not really sure how much she expected us to tip but the food was already pricy and that was a generous tip. Unfortunately she seemed to expect that any foreigner has unlimited money and if they dont tip what she deems appropriate, finds it okay to act with this completely unprofessional attitude. Now we would not return, which is a shame because this is in no reflection of the food/chefs.

    I just had breakfast, last week there. Food was bad and cold. I got three old tortillas, I asked for bread instead, and they gave me two pieces of an old muffin! The worst was the so called "coffee", it tasted like warm water with milk, no coffee taste at all. No wonder I was the only table being served. I bet Wings restaurant was full.

    This restaurant is the best kept secret of Mexico City Juarez International Airport. It is in Terminal 2, and it is easy to miss if you are in a hurry, but it is located in the arrivals part of terminal 2 near the wing place by the bus stop. The atmosphere is fine dining, the wine list is exquisite, the service is stellar, and the food is beyond delicious. It is almost too good to be an airport restaurant but I am glad that they are here. It's a great break if you just arrived in Mexico. Take a breather before you leave the airport, relax, celebrate being in Mexico with a glass of wine, and fill your stomach with fine food. And if you have never had Mexican wine, this is the place to try it. A great intro to Mexico.

    Delicious meals and great service. Reasonable prices considering airport costs. The salmon carpaccio, lentil soup and rib steak were perfect. Good wine and beer selection.

    Karen was great and food was not spectacular but VERY good. Much better than restaurants in many airport’s in the world

  • 3/5 Carlos and Valerie I. 5 months ago on Google
    After reading several reviews, I was under the impression that this was the best restaurant in Terminal 2. The food was mediocre at best, and grossly overpriced (even for an airport restaurant). My paella was dry and the chicken pieces were clearly microwaved (much hotter than rice). My mother's callos a la madrileña tasted funky (old) and several pieces were very tough. Do yourself a favor and stick to some proven standards (such as El Fogoncito)

    Delicious meal! I would definitely recommend if you have some time to relax at the airport.

  • 5/5 Juan G. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was very well presented, and great taste. The service team is excellent, they were very on top of our table without being annoying, keeping our coffee cups full and making sure everything was right. A great Terminal 2 option for a nice meal. Recommended!!

    Excellent service by Claudia and the staff. The speed of fast food with the flavor of slow food.

  • 5/5 Daniel V. 2 years ago on Google
    Very tasty Spanish food with Mexican influence. Super friendly staff (T2 Mexico City International Airport). Very good preparation with anti-Covid hygienic measures.

  • 3/5 Patricia D. 2 years ago on Google
    This was an ok experience. The Casa Avila salad was fresh and good but the pork tacos were just ok as the corn tortillas overwhelmed the pork flavor. My margarita was made with a sugary mix and had no discernible fresh lime. Disappointing after reading people’s very favorable reviews.

    Delicious foods, fast services, reasonable prices. I ordered chicken soup, and a steak. I don't know what I ordered but I listened the waitress' recommendation. It was fantastic. Best place in Terminal 2

    Excellent food and service. Best food I ever had in an airport. The food, the ambience, and the service made me feel I was in Spain.

  • 5/5 abhishek g. 2 years ago on Google
    Really good service and accommodating ! Delicious food with a perfect amount of spices and creme brulee is to die for !!

  • 5/5 Toney G. 4 years ago on Google
    OMG. If you come here to the Mexico City International Airport, you MUST try this place. The service is five 🌟 stars and the food is worthy of ten stars if Google had ten stars. Unfortunately, Google only has five, so they get five stars for the food. I ordered the grilled octopus and my wife had the sea bass. Perfection. If you are a food critic, give this place a look and taste. You will not be disappointed. The food is above average price but you are paying for the quality, the prep of the food and the service. Highly recommend.

    Really great customer service. We were killing time between our connection and our server went out of his way to make sure we felt welcomed and not rushed to leave. Our waiter Fidel was very attentive and could tell that we were feeling social so he chatted with us about some local perspectives, which was hugely appreciated. The recommendations were spot on (we had chilaquiles verdes con pollo, chilaquiles rojos con cecina, and tacos de lechón). Juice was freshly squeezed, and they have a great tea selection. Great experience overall.

    Amazing food. The service very good. Normal price. Very, very good experience.

    Layovers in Mexico City hit different now that I've discovered this amazing 5 star restaurant right in the airport! The lentil soup was incredible with lightly fried mature plantains. Everything is made to order so have a drink and relax.

    Best option for early breakfast at the airport. The food tastes good, nice presentation and friendly staff. There's a bathroom inside the restaurant.

    Horrible experience at this restaurant. Not a local and dined in with my family. Staff was not the greatest or most attentive. After dinner and desert we paid and left a generous tip. Before we where out of the restaurant the staff chased after us down and stated we needed to leave a larger tip about a 10-15 peso tip larger… we paid, but were under the impression that a tip is not mandatory rather voluntary.
