    What a cool concept. This is a small eatery with no set menu. They will keep bringing dishes until you say you are done. The food varies with plenty of fresh local and almost local ingredients. Most tables have a clear view of the kitchen so the experience is to watch the food being prepared and then getting to taste it immediately. Some tips: - Come early and be prepared to wait - They will take your number and call you when the table is ready - They have a small waiting area where you can grab drinks and people watch - This is a cash only place- (we spent about $1500 MEX for eight plates, two drinks, and tips) - They are busy, and may not explain the concept of the restaurant

    I visit Mexico City very frequently and always love to try new spots! I saw all the hype around this place so I wanted to try it. I don’t think I’ve ever been so underwhelmed by a restaurant before. Although the food was good, it wasn’t anything out of this world. I’ve had way better food at just about any other restaurant or street stand in the city. The service was also awful. The manager was rude to my mom and I yet was overly friendly to all the parties around us speaking English. We spoke Spanish the whole time so I’d hate to think it was because of that, which is ironic because we’re Americans of Mexican descent. The rest of the staff was absolutely lovely but the manager left the worst taste in our mouths and we didn’t want to spend a minute more in the establishment. They’re cash only which seems ridiculous in this day and age. And the prices were insane for the portions. I would understand if it was the best meal I’d ever had but the whole experience seems like it’s only impressive to a first time visitor to Mexico City. Time, energy, and money can be better spent just about anywhere else

    A unique experience. Tasting menu style without a menu. Unique flavors, heavy use of seasonings and sauces. The menu is very vegetable forward, so if you want it otherwise make sure to mention m. All the seating is outdoor, therefore, if you are near the kitchen it gets very hot. No alcohol is served, they do have beer. The place feels a bit touristy due to the heavy American crowd, but the food is super authentic! Get here early to get on the waitlist/get a reservation.

    I hardly ever write reviews but I cannot resist helping to inform future diners on this one. As MANY people have already written here, there is no menu which in theory shouldn’t be a problem - many restaurants operate on a daily menu or specials format, HOWEVER they do not inform you of what you will be eating whatsoever, how long you will be there or how much you’re going to pay in the end. We were told it would be a 30 min wait, but we waited over an hour to be seated even though there were plenty of open seats available. The waiting time is not communicated well, and I gather part of the reason for it is that the kitchen staff is choosing to cook the same meal sequence for all guests at once. This was not at all clear or communicated upon arrival. We were hoping to stop by for a quick/normal length lunch and be able to move on to the next thing in our day but this “experience” took almost 3 hours in total. Upon arrival we were not given any instructions on what this experience entailed and we were served drinks after 15 min of waiting without anyone coming to our table. I’m sorry, but this place is an actual scam and a tourist trap to be sure. It would should be yanked by the Better Business Bureau. The food itself was tasty, but we received only four small plates (see pics) and two beers and ended up paying $1000 (?!?!?!). Come on now

    Nice spot for lunch or dinner, no menu so you eat whatever they cook that day. Food was mostly pretty good. The only downside was that each dish was form of taco so after 3 or 4 you’re tired of tortilla. 1,500 for 2 people

  • 5/5 Maxine H. 3 months ago on Google ‱ 39 reviews New
    I thought this was a very incredible experience to have, and glad I was able to enjoy a meal here. We went right before they opened at 10:30 am and were able to be seated. Had we come later, we couldn’t have sat until the next seating at 12:15. The manager was very nice and had perfect English, and asked us about dietary restrictions, which we didn’t have any. The proprietor, Jesus, led us on a culinary adventure full of nostalgia and unique stories from his childhood along with a dose of Mexican history. Fortunately for us, most of the tables spoke English and he gave the spiel in our language, so we could understand everything. There’s no menu or pricing and it’s cash only. The kitchen sends out courses of food centered around corn and ingredients thoughtfully sourced from friends and long-term vendors he trusts. Everything was fresh and delicious. You can say stop at anytime and they will only charge you for what was served. The food was not overly fancy, and you were encouraged to eat with your hands. It was all very good, very interesting, and very amusing. This wasn’t a precious fine-dining experience but more like a rustic adventure focused on highlighting homely ingredients, dishes, and preparations. I didn’t go in with any real expectations so I was surprised at how interactive and entertaining it was. We misjudged how much it would cost since it wasn’t posted anywhere, and mostly because we said “yes” to every single dish & drink he offered, so we ended up paying partially with dollars and pesos, which I was so relieved they accepted. We had all the offerings of food plus several desserts; tea, kombucha, pulque, aguafresca, coffee, etc. it was 1,900 pesos for both of us. It was a heartwarming meal full of laughs and stories that was much more meaningful in comparison to all of the snooty fine dining food we had on the trip. Again, the food was not fancy, so don’t overhype the cuisine and your expectations for something really high-end, upscale, and modern. It’s the antithesis of that actually. I enjoyed myself very much and it stood out as a highlight of our trip for being so authentic and inclusive. It feels like a lot of native locals might be annoyed at the fact they cater a lot to foreigners or something, and I can see why.. if you only spoke Spanish and had this experience, and it was in English, that could be really disappointing— but he did his best to cater to us all! Of 7 groups during my seating, only one was native Spanish speaking, all the rest seemed to be American. (I wouldn’t personally suggest bringing kids, they won’t have the attention to appreciate the experience and could be disruptive to others trying to enjoy/listen). He said we are all family now, and I believe that. I would be very happy to come again and I liked all the food very much, especially the huitlacoche and pork!

    The food is average and overpriced. The idea of a multi course meal is cool but they haven’t gotten the logistics down. Takes very long for them to bring out the dishes because they like to serve everyone at the same time. So most of the time the dishes arrive it is cold. The food is not special at all and wouldn’t recommend unless you have a lot of time you want to waste. They also sit you down with strangers which is a bit weird but just good to know. The prices per dish as of today were from 110 to 170 MXN and the dishes were not big at all. I think that if this place accepted cards them being overpriced wouldn’t be as bad, but it is terrible having to take out a lot of cash just for an average meal.

    (Translated by Google) Rich but nothing spectacular, they take too long in each dish. At the beginning they ask you if you have any allergies or if there is any food that you do not like since you do not choose your dish, they prepare you to your liking. I specified that no shellfish or mushrooms and ... in my second dish mushrooms arrived, usually I would have said something, but they take more than half an hour in each dish so I was lazy to claim and I only did it to one side but then to what do they ask? Despite this, he could return but he would not do it because it was nothing spectacular, very x. (Original) Rico pero nada espectacular, tardan demasiado en cada platillo. Al inicio te preguntan si tienes alguna alergia o si hay algĂșn alimento que no te guste ya que tĂș no eliges tu platillo, ellos te preparan a su gusto. EspecifiquĂ© que nada de mariscos ni hongos y... en mi segundo platillo me llegaron hongos, usualmente hubiera dicho algo, pero tardan mĂĄs de media hora en cada platillo por lo que me dio flojera reclamar y solo lo hice a un lado pero entonces para quĂ© preguntan? A pesar de ello pudiera regresar pero no lo harĂ­a porque no fue nada espectacular, muy equis.

    I have to agree with most of the reviews. This place is simply great. Every dish that we ate was delicious. Don't cheat yourself, keep the dishes coming. We were stuffed when we left but we easily walked it off in Chapultepec Forest. One of the best parts is the pricing. The most expensive plate is about $120 pesos ($6 dollars) and it's because it comes with meat. Most other dishes are 50 to 85 pesos. The staff was also great and they explain each dish and ingredients when it is presented at your table. A word of advice that worked for us, get there early because they only have 4 tables. This is an experience so they do not want to rob anyone of the enjoyment of their creations, hence they do not rush you or cut you off. If no tables are available, they will take down your phone number and call you when something is available. Take this time to walk around the neighborhood, maybe have a nice cup of coffee at Quentin across the street. Don't hover around eyeing people's food. :)

    Very disappointing. Certainly not worth waiting two hours for. We had six small items and were done.. Lack of flavors and originality, with flavors and sauces bleeding in from one dish to the other. Everything seeming to contain refried beans and the same sauce, and the meats lacked flavor altogether. Honestly, a decent taco stand has much better cooked meat, and many more delicious flavors. This was doubtless fantastic at one point . But now lacks creativity and flavor. And this area is replete with great restaurants. So I would say don’t waste your day. But beware. It’s still crowded with lots of American tourists.

    Just wow! If you are reading this just go!! This was not only one of my best meals in Mexico, but of my life. Delicious inventive dishes with sumptuous flavors. Everything from the service to the artisanal kitchen setup is fantastic. Best corn on amaze menu. On top of that prices are super affordable! Well worth the wait. Make sure you go there early in order to avoid long waiting time.

    Lovely, fresh, tasty food, a great concept, a cute place, all run by a lovely team. And at a super fair price. You just let them know what you eat or don’t eat and they will make some lovely dishes for you with whatever is fresh and available. Everything we had tasted really fresh and well prepared, working with interesting ingredients. The team are super friendly and helpful. It’s very casual with shared tables and a very informal vibe, but absolutely excellent food.

    A must when visiting CDMX. We loved the idea of having no menu and having them cater to any dietary restrictions. My travel companion is vegan, so they were very accommodating and the food was incredible. It’s a small dining area and you may have to wait a while for a table, but it is well worth it.

    It's kinda pricey for the actual food you get but the experience might be worth for some. Food is good and it feels good to be surprised with what's next but you can eat probably just as good in most street stands. This is upscaled Mexican street food and might not be liked by some.

    The concept is really interesting and being able to see into the kitchen is great if you like to cook. A lot of people have said it’s good for if you have dietary restrictions and unfortunately we can’t say the same. My girlfriend and I are there for breakfast. We were asked if we had any food allergies and shared that we are allergic to gluten. A couple dishes in and my girlfriend had an immediate reaction. The final dish we were served was literally on a piece of wheat bread. Perhaps something was lost in communication but I would be careful in thinking you are completely safe when it comes to allergies.

    This is THE place you’ll want to visit if you’re into food. Forget all the other high priced restaurants, this is a meal you’ll remember. The restaurant does not take reservations and opens at 9:30am. You’ll want to make sure you arrive before then since there are only 6 tables. Most people attempt to arrive after opening time and give up waiting. We spent 2 hours, which seemed like an average amount of time as dishes come out slowly (well worth the wait though) There is no menu, food will keep coming until you tell them to stop. It’s cash only, no credit cards. Overall, the quality of the food and experience far exceeded any other restaurant we visited, all of which were far more expensive, and usually needed reservations. If you’re visiting Mexico City, don’t miss this one!

The quality is above and beyond and this place is going somewhere! They don’t have a menu, just offer you things and just say yes and eat everything. A must try in Mexico City

    As written in many other reviews, what's amazing about this place is the concept. They have a different menu everyday, the dish they prepare will be uniquely for you, at that moment, and always with a full on explanation on how it's prepared and why they decided on preparing that dish. They will be bringing a set of new dishes until you wish to stop (obviously the price depends on the number of dishes you had). The waiters and staff are very nice and polite and kind. Definitely worth the experience, expect to pay a little more tho :)

    One of the BEST food experiences. Everything that comes out of Jesus’ kitchen is gold. Locally sourced goods, innovative dishes, and all the homey vibes. Loved it so much I came here twice. There are no reservations so get here and put your name down. There are only about 16 seats available but I promise it’s worth it. Try the pulque and mezcal combo đŸ€Ș

    Decent food, but not worth waiting 1+ hour for (and they do not take reservations - the server recommended to arrive early). There is no menu; omakase-style experience where they bring you 2 different dishes at a time. They are able to cater to dietary restrictions (gluten, vegetarian, etc). The flavor and presentation of the food is okay, but it would be better if there is more variation between dishes. For example, out of the 6 - 7 plates we had, half of them were mushroom-centric. While the mushrooms were delicious, it gets boring after the second plate. Perhaps my taste buds are not sharp enough to pick up the distinctions. The meat dishes we tried were not memorable in my opinion. Dessert looks like it is ice cream from a local boutique shop, so we did not try it. Overall I think the concept (open kitchen, omakase-style Mexican meal) is nice, but execution leaves much to be desired. The wait in between dishes felt long. Note: cash only. For two people, our bill was 1000 pesos before tips.

    Impossible to know if this place is under a downhill alert or if I just went on a bad day - as they change the menu daily. I went two years ago and it was thrilling - best food I had eaten in cdmx. This time it was one note - salty - everything was overpowered by salt the day I went. (Except the lovely little pig shaped welcome). A terrible sameness in flavor profile across radically different dishes. And with a three hour wait. But the two year ago visit was so good I feel like maybe you should still try it?

    Reservations are not taken. We had to wait 2 hours, but we walked around in the area and the maütre d’ phoned us. Sat outside. Very lively atmosphere, the weather was nice too. There’s no menu; it varies every day depending on what ingredients they find. You just tell the waiter any dietary restrictions you have and they keep bringing food until you call a stop to it. Two cousins, Jesus and Brittney Abuelita Luchi, from the southern province of Guerrero run the show. Was able to talk to them about every dish they brought us. Many of the dishes are reinterpretations of their grand mother’s cooking. She baked sweet bread in Ayutla de los Libres, Guerrero. Here at the restaurant, the dishes are based on what Jesus Luchi finds when he goes every morning to various small gardens where locals grow vegetables and herbs. The first course was some kind of cheese on a pig-shaped tortilla with some very hot sauce on the side. The second course was a taco: a fried egg on a bed of black beans on a tortilla with cillantro, onions and lemon. This was excellent. The third course was a Quesadilla with fungus (huitlacoche), juliened chilli, quesillo cheese and cacahuacintle corn topped with avocado, cenizo and vedolaga wild greens and squash flowers with powdered pumpkin seed. The fourth dish was a Chilicayota squash, cherry tomato, Gouda cheese and cenizo wild greens on a 3” dia soft shell made of thick corn flour. After the fourth dish the waiter told us they have run out of vegetarian dishes and have to repeat. We opted for desserts. The first was Pan tapado, (made in collaboration with patisserie Dominique), sweet corn & wheat bun sliced in half with cheese and cenizo squash flowers and honey on the side. This dessert, I was told, is a homage to their grandma. As kids, they remember grandma making this dessert unsweetened (as she had diabetes) and putting honey on the side. The second dessert was a slice of cheesecake like dessert with a bed and walls of cornbread and a filling of cheese and jam made of pineapple with edible flowers. Excellent food, great service, nice people. Only convenient way of paying is by cash.

    This was our favourite meal on our trip. We loved the concept and the food was so tasty. Each course, they will bring out a vegetarian and meat dish. They were also super accommodating as one our guests were vegan. We kept the dishes going bc we wanted to keep trying. The fresh guava juice is definitely a must have as well. I personally loved the vegetarian/vegan dishes more but all were great. Prices were reasonable as well.

    Fantastic! Heard a lot of hype about this place and was not disappointed. We were quoted an hour wait for a party of 4 but only waited about a half hour as we were the last ones sat before closing. Sat at a community table and loved every dish, really delightful to try the veggie and meat options. Weren’t rushed and enjoyed every course.

    Amazing meal! Tasty & beautiful. Be prepared for a long wait as there are only two tables and everything is prepared fresh. We were eating lunch for about 3 hours -- the time controlled by how fast the kitchen could prepare dishes. We had six of the seven courses, but were too full to eat the seventh course. Great options for vegetarians and vegans.

    Our favorite meal in CDMX, and also one of my favorite meals of all time. The prices are incredibly affordable for the quality of the dishes you get. We ended up getting 8 dishes and two juices, and it came out to 890 pesos total. I will be dreaming of some of these dishes for a long time. There can be a bit of a wait, so it’s a good plan to get to the neighborhood and put your name down, and then explore for a bit until your table is ready.

    (Translated by Google) Delicious and with fresh and seasonal products! The service was impeccable and the setting is very nice, I took away a star because I find that the prices are a bit high and what a pity that there is no card! (Original) Délicieux et avec des produits frais et de saisons ! Le service a été impeccable et le cadre est trÚs sympa, j'ai enlevé une étoile car je trouve que les prix sont un peu élevé et quel dommage qu'il n'y ai pas de carte !

    Very unique experience!! Worth the hype? I would say 80% so. The service was a bit lacking and not as friendly as I would have expected, but otherwise loved the concept and would definitely come with others again. They were super accommodating of diet :)

    This place was recommended by a local chef we met while in CDMX. It was incredible. It’s a must stop for food. Staff couldn’t have been nicer and the food really was unbelievable. We went there for breakfast and it was one of the best meals we had in CDMX. They keep bringing you courses (each course they bring something different to each person) until you tell them to stop. So good but so hard to stop.

    I was fortunate to speak with the owner. This food is all local food gathered from nearby farms. Every thing had its own flavors and you must try the coffee!! No menus. You eat was is offered for the day. People! This is a must do.

    Creative kitchen full of innovative ideas and flavours. Easy ordering over Instagram. Everything on the menu of the day was stellar. It was delicious, flavourful, complex yet simple Mexican flavours. Beautifully presented even in to-go containers.

    Brunch was extraordinary good with cut plates and nice staff the waiting time was very long (before Covid time) the place is very cozy and you can see the kitchen . We voluntarily shared the table with another customer and was great

    Probably the best meal I've had in CDMX outside of Pujol. And for a fraction of cost. Great concept, great presentation, incredible flavors, friendly staff, local seasonal ingredients... it just doesn't get better. We came at 10am on Friday and were seated right away. I hear it gets quite crazy with the wait time around 2pm so come early. Must visit when in Mexico city.

    (Translated by Google) The best I have eaten in Mexico. Simple cooking with fresh ingredients and a cuisine that surprises you in each dish they bring you. The fact of not having a menu invites you to come back again and again. (Original) Lo mejor que he comido en MĂ©xico. Cocina simple con ingredientes frescos y una cocina quĂ© te sorprende en cada platillo quĂ© te traen. El hecho de no tener menĂș te invita a que vuelvas una y otra vez.

    We went to Expendio for a late lunch looking to try pre-Hispanic Mexican cuisine. We were greeted by very welcoming polite and prepared members of staff. At first bite, an entire new world of tastes and textures opened up, letting us experience ancient and forgotten tastes connected to our Mexican history and land. Leslie, the person who took care of us, guided us through the origin of each of their creations describing ingredients and techniques with incredible knowledge. We also purchased some diaries from their “despensas” which were excellent, fresh and delicious. Muchas gracias Expendio for offering us such unique experience. Martina y Chris.

    (Translated by Google) Great, great attention from the staff who can be seen from the outside that everyone helps. Their training is incredible so that they can tell you about the format, ask you about any allergies to any food and the detailed explanation of each food that will come out of the ingredients they have that day. Very rich everything !!! (Original) Gran, gran atenciĂłn por parte del personal al cual se ve desde afuera que todos ayudan. IncreĂ­ble su capacitaciĂłn para que te platiquen del formato, te pregunten de alguna alergia a algĂșn alimento y la explicaciĂłn a detalle de cada alimento que saldrĂĄ de los ingredientes que ese dĂ­a tengan. Muy rico todo!!!

    WOW! The food, the service, the ambiance. Everything was fantastic. They bring out food in rounds and explain what you’re eating since you don’t choose. The servers are super accommodating to travelers. I managed to forget they are only cash. They told me to wait after my meal to get cash because they are super trusting. Well worth the wait. Tip is to come a few hours early and put your name down. The coffee in the morning is light and sweet.

    Such a cool experience. This place has no menu, so they just bring out plates until you tell them to stop. We got an opportunity to try many dishes we had not had before. They do ask about allergies/food preferences. I’m gluten free and they were able to accommodate. Bring cash, it’s cash only.

  • 5/5 Linda K. 2 years ago on Google
    An ABSOLUTE must in Mexico City. An unassuming place that was recommended by a chef from a tasting menu we did in Polanco...and we loved every minute of it. There's no menu and they will bring you their dishes depending on the fresh ingredients they get for the day, a "surprise" menu as the server referred. And once you can't eat anymore, they will tally up your tab. There were only about four tables and we got lucky without the hour wait people were quoted. And this was a Tuesday afternoon. Be patient and you will be rewarded. Just the best place to try the most thoughtful dishes with so much creativity without going to some of the more famous and bougie places in Mexico City. Nothing wrong with that of course! However, this meal will just cost you a fifth of what you would pay.

  • 5/5 Mara G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A special place, the attention is incredible and the food has no description. It's a different experience, with a different menu each time. Mexican food but thought in a different way. I would go back a thousand times. (Original) Un lugar especial, la atenciĂłn es increĂ­ble y la comida no tiene descripciĂłn.
