Mexico DF

If you fancy tiny, overpriced drinks and anorexic portions, give em a whirl

I went here alone the other night and ordered two margaritas and the tamale entree. The margaritas were about the size of a dixie cup poured over ice and the tamales, while tasty, were two solitary blobs on a lonely plate. No chips, no salsa, just two measly tamales and a couple wimpy margaritas. Total cost (ding-ding-ding) $48 dollars (incl tip). I would have been better off tracking down one of those tamale vendors and making some don julio margaritas at home. Ignore the trendy hype, save your money and head on over to an authentic taqueria.

Now That's What I'm Talkin About!

by lkcoops

First I went to Mexico DF for drinks after work. The $5 margaritas and mojitos are killer, and when happy hour ended I didn't mind paying full price one bit. I haven't had a margarita that good since The Red Cabbage in Puerto Vallarta. The guacamole is wonderful - I especially loved the mango guac. I could have eaten that all night. But I moved on to the Gorditas and the Duck Flautas which were divine. My drinking buddy had the Huarache and loved it. Several days I went back for lunch on my birthday. I had the Torta Ahogada that melted in my mouth. My lunch mates had the Carnitas and loved it. Mexico DF is a gem. I will be back often for lunch, dinner, drinks - whatever. The food is awesome, the service is great and the atmosphere is so comfortable it's like being home.

• Pros: Food, drinks, service, atmosphere

For Drinks Alone ....

by joefoodster

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and cocktails at the new Mexico DF.

Most of the food was authentic and enjoyable as well. One minor gripe: We ordered lots of the small plate selections and everything arrived at once! (We felt like pigs and dishes got cold before we could consume them.)

Kudos to the interior designer here ... interesting colorful digital art and mix of modern color and rustic beams.

Our server was friendly, informed and engaging.

And almost forgot ... it's worth a visit if for drinks alone ... the margaritas are simply spectacular!

• Pros: The cocktails and ambiance
