We really really enjoyed our visit at Raíz. We booked only a couple hours before which was surprising as the quality of the restaurant is one that should requires reservations much in advance. The service was excellent—all the dishes were explained well and our server paced our meal for us in a great way. There is a somewhat calm atmosphere in the restaurant which has the kitchen in the back of the dining room. The food was really good starting with the complementary mini-empanada. Very hard to pick favorites but we loved the elotes and the tacos. Of course the desserts were the highlight of the meal and were truly truly impressive. I would definitely recommend visiting Raiz in Mexico City whether you’re visiting or not.

The most underrated gem of a restaurant in Mexico right now. Went with our two vegetarian friends, one of which we were celebrating. The atmosphere is very cozy and private, we didn’t even notice the other patrons in the restaurant. The service was beyond attentive and kind. This restaurant was the highlight of our trip. Thank you, Raíz for an incredible night.

It was obvious from the start that much care and excellence were put into every aspect of our evening there. The service was impeccable, the food was absolutely top notch. So was the ambiance and the creativity that went into everything as well. One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had
