Tacos were dry and the fried shrimp I had were really hard. Unfortunately, the worst tacos I’ve had some far in Cdmx. Also I was the only one in the restaurant and they forgot to bring me a bottle of water I ordered. At least the location and music was nice.

Very delicious modern Mexican dishes! Their tacos are less “traditional” and are unique combinations of their own. We had their queso fundido simple (always a favorite for me, theirs was really good!) - and a few tacos. The “Mil Amores” with the potato patty was super delicious and unique! If you’re looking for traditional Mexican fare, this is not that. However, their versatile and unique menu has the same freshness and authenticity that traditional Mexican dishes do. I don’t often like a variation from traditional street tacos, but these were absolutely delicious!! We also had the “Costra” with arrachera, I very highly recommend it! The service was good and the ambiance was great!
