This is basque cuisine from Spain fusion with Mexican specialties of high quality gourmet cuisine. The place is an old Mexican house of the original pinky one in Zona Rosa district (pink zone), next tothe BW Royal hotel in Amberes between Liverpool and chapultepec. It is a restaurant of the hotel too.

It has been here since 1994 and I frequent it since 1998. It has won several culinary awards too numerous to mention but it is good for sure.

The wine bodega is huge and a large choice of Spanish wines, as well as others.

Favorite Dish: As I have been doing a lot of seafood fish dishes I try the
Cochinillo confitado con crema de vinagre balsámico con frutos del bosque, crujiente de taco de leche y puré de castañas , which I can only translate as pork confit in a cream of balsamic vinegar with forest fruits, hard milk crunchies and purée of castaigne,
then a Fondante de Txocolate con espejo de salsa de fresa
or fondant chocolate with a mirror of strawberry sauce
ending with a red wine of San Vicente 2004, Senorio San Vicente, Rioja.

If you want to go to a very typical, everyday place to eat genuine Mexican food surrounded by local people instead of going to a touristy restaurant, this is a nice place to see what the real thing is like -- office employees having lunch (or families during the weekend), national tourists or people who used to live in Mexico City and moved out but come back on short visits are the kind of people you will find here, as well as home made REAL Mexican food. They have the kind of food we would eat in our everyday life and even at home, not fancy dishes but just common stuff - very tasty and well served though. They also have home made flavored water (made with fresh fruit).

This restaurant has been on business since 1945. The decoration is typically Mexican as well (especially a wall with views of the city painted on it), the restaurant is quite big (but is usually crowded) and they even have a little terrace on the 1st floor.

Favorite Dish: I liked the chicken broth with lots of stuff inside (rice, chicken, avocado), very nice. Caldo tlalpeño is nice if you like spicy stuff -- it's chicken broth with a lot of stuff but also chili, so it's very hot. Tacos (especially those stuffed with cecina -- a salty kind of meat) are very good too. The portions are generous so don't ask for too many dishes, or you will not be able to finish them all!!

On our last visit we had an Arrachera meat cut and Enchiladas de mole and they were both AWESOME. The portions were very big too and the food very tasty.

They also have these things called "petroleras" which are the specialty of the house and which are good..... they're a sort of tortilla, just a bit thicker and VERY big (about the size of a plate), with different stuff on top: beans, cheese, meat, etc.... They make for an entire meal, so think twice before asking for a second dish before or after eating your petrolera!!!

And if you are still able to have a dessert, by all means do: they all look very yummy, but we picked the corn bread -- which is served warm and with 3 ice cream scoops on the side (vanilla - chocolate - strawberry): it was HEAVENLY! Very very nice, highly recommended!

I visited this restaurant last week with my husband and some family members while on vacation in Mexico City. My first visit to this restaurant. It was spacious, extremely clean, the service was excellent.

I ate the Mole Poblano which is my favorite Mexican dish - it was absolutely delicious. I was sorry when it was all gone. Had some flan for dessert - also excellent.

We were there until almost the closing time and I was watching the waiters set up for the next day. They were fixing the napkins to be put on the plates - it was very interesting. I took my napkin and was trying to copy what they were doing. They noticed and stopped to show me how. That was nice of them.

Would definitely recommend this restaurant and the next time I'm in Mexico City I will definitely go back.

Favorite Dish: Since it was my first time there - I had the Mole Poblano and it was delicious. That is my favorite food to eat in a Mexican Restaurant and it lived up to it's reputation.
