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."

"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

Bon Appétit "The restaurant that put Mexican fine dining on the world stage keeps evolving." Full review
