Si estás buscando comer delicioso pero diferente, tienes que venir a raíz. Servicio: súper atentos todos los meseros, te dan muy buenas recomendaciones, te explican cada detalle de los platillos y aparte te sirven súper rápido la comida. Comida: deliciosa. Tienen la opción del menú de degustación o pedir a la carta. Las porciones no son muy grandes, por lo que lo ideal es pedir varias cosas y compartir. Te dan una entrada de cortesía que a nosotros nos tocó una croqueta que estaba increíble. Los drinks muy ricos y cargados, no escatiman con la cantidad de alcohol y los postres ni se digan, para repetir 3 veces literal. De comer nosotros pedimos (para 2 personas): - infladitas de pulpo - panuchos de barbacoa de pato - taco “Rosarito” con langosta - taco de lengua de res - pan de pulpo - drink passion sky - drink coco bawi - drink cantaloupe - postre flan parmesano - postre hijos de la higuera Todos los platillos los recomendamos 100%, pero si tienen que pedir algo obligado, sin duda, es el taco Rosarito. Lugar: muy cómodo, sencillo pero elegante. Tiene el concepto de open kitchen y es padrísimo ver como cocinan su comida. Igual tiene l opción de sentarte en terraza y es pet friendly. Precio/Calidad: el precio es algo elevado, pero nos pareció que normal para la zona y normal para un restaurante con premio Bib Gourmand y consideramos que el precio es justo para la calidad de sus alimentos. Pagamos por dos personas como $2,500 sin propina por todo. En conclusión: un restaurante que tiene bien merecido su premio bib gourmand. Es delicioso y con una calidad muy buena. Es comida mexicana pero con un twist original a platillos “típicos”. Aparte todo lo del maíz lo hacen ahí mismo. Recomendamos 100% ir a visitarlos.

Raíz, un restaurante con alma, que se siente desde la cocina abierta que tienen, hasta la cómoda terraza, en la que a pesar de la lluvia no entra ni una sola gota! una vibra muy tranquila y hogareña, fuimos a festejar un cumpleaños y la pasamos increíble con lo impecable que es su servicio, tomamos un martini delicioso sin duda el mejor que me he tomado en toda la ciudad, y el postre wow! Una locura, felicidades por este gran restaurante.

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.
