    I was very disappointed after waiting in line for over an hour thinking I was going to have the best barbacoa. Unfortunately, that is not what I got. First of they skipped me I was waiting to be called and they told me they called my name but they did not so I had to wait again because they skipped me. After waiting there to be called for more than an hour I go in and get seated. I proceed with ordering my food. I got my two tacos and as soon as I open my taco there was a hair there. I know it wasn’t mine because it was a short black hair and my hair is super long plus it was on the inside. I automatically almost threw up. I did eat the other taco and consome only because I was so hungry but I would never go there again. Service was mediocre and the consome was not good either it had no seasoning it was very bland. The prices are elevated for the small portions compared to a lot of other places. Save your time and money is not worth it.

    This lamb, it is what; we, Mexicans understand for barbecue. One down side, you have to pay with cash, a little bit expensive, compared with what it’s around One more time, the flavour and the taste it’s really f***g good! Service, just immaculate, the guy was fast and courteous. I arrived at the beginning of the day so that can explain it. My experience was super nice so I tipped him with 20% I am cheap, I couldn’t find any excuse. Food and service just great This is on your most to do.

    The place is nice, honestly the food is not as tasty as I would like, and for the prices is not worth it. There is not parking space, and they accept only cash.

    I had seen them on Instagram so I wanted to try the food. Got there this evening to find out they only accept cash. Very disappointed. Oh well guess I won’t be coming back. Should’ve read the reviews before hand. But who in the city only accepts cash.

    The barbacoa, consume, and pulque were all great. The Service was excellent as well they make you feel at home. Definitely coming back next time I'm in Mexico city.

    Barbacoa tasted odd, stopped after one bite. Space is really cool though.

  • 2/5 Enrique D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place, strongly recommend the pancita taco Update... After 4 years of my first visit and getting to know other places in the Santa Maria la Ribera... This place is not that good... Taste wise is still good but the cost, the service and the fact that they only take cash just make me doubt on why they do this... The place is enormous and it feels unfair that they only accept cash.

    The waiters are kind of lost the look like panic and they're faces look stress I asked for a coffee and the serve me the coffee In a broken mug . They need to organize them selves and run inly one station The hostess needs a walkie-talkie so him/she can expedite the tables asap the people evacuate the tables she need to have a communication whit someone inside We wait way too long for a table and they do have tables available inside Need to focus on the service.

    Except they chare 28 pesos per person for tortillas. They don't mention that and the mariachis just play short times.
