"If there's one place that best represents Mexico City's exciting new culinary scene, it's Maximo Bistrot." Full review
Tasting Table "Another one of the hotspots of la Roma." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "A relatively new concept for Mexico City, Máximo Bistrot is a true farm-to-table restaurant serving French plates made with Mexican-grown ingredients." Full review
The Infatuation "The focus is on seasonal and local ingredients, so the menu changes every day, but you can always expect French-style dishes with some chile or huitlacoche." Full review
Time Out "Everything here is local, from the napkins hand-sewn by artisans from Oaxaca to the daily-rotating menu which is crafted by local seasonal ingredients. Even the table bread is perfect." Full review
Independent "Maximo's tasting menu puts it ahead of the pack for a spendy dinner...expect decadent dishes such as gratinated comté, octopus ceviche and wagyu beef tongue. "

Concierge "The menu changes seasonally, so the restaurant deserves repeat visits. You'll also want to dress for the occasion: Most men wear suits or jackets."
Fodor's "Some dishes are themselves deconstructed, requiring your server to quietly explain in which order you should eat each component. And the tableware complements the food."

"The six-course tasting menu with four accompanying wines is a bargain, and gives you a good representation of the style of the house." Full review

"A modest room in Mexico City’s swanky Polanco district is home to the country’s finest restaurant, housing just 13 tables in an elegantly minimalist and moody monochrome setting." Full review
Wallpaper "The expression ‘home cooking’ takes on a literal opening in the case of Pujol." Full review
Bon Appétit "The restaurant that put Mexican fine dining on the world stage keeps evolving." Full review
Tasting Table "It is also the most affordable fine dining experience on any continent while experiencing bold, cerebral, mind-melding dishes; here, Olvera is at the top of his game." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Because Pujol is one of the country’s best restaurants (and because there are only 13 tables here), you’ll need to book as soon as you lock in your flight." Full review
The Infatuation "When you talk about Mexican fine dining, you talk about Enrique Olvera, and you've possibly seen him on the Netflix show Chef's Table." Full review
