A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
We grabbed brunch here, as it is the rooftop of our hotel. (And also later in the day grabbed drinks, which is definitely a good place to do that for after work drinks).
For drinks, got their version of espresso martini (they make it with cold brew coffee). It was really good. For appetizers, got the crab cake. Would definitely get it again. For my main, I went for the quesadilla. It was alright (would probably try something else next time).
We went to this place for dinner after going to the Soumaya Mueseum in Polanco (Mexico City).
Like the rest do the area, it’s fairly up scale. Lots of high rise buildings and big naked companies.
This restaurant was located in a high end mall. Definitely the vibe was great.
For drinks, each whisky drink required that you order a double (so about 23 usd for two shots of Glenlevit). Deal was pretty sick.
For starters, they started us of (for free) with some nachos and dip (that seemed to have cheese and beans). For appetizers, we got the cauliflower, beef tacos, beef wrapped asparagus, quesadilla sampler and octopus. Would get the first three again.
For our main, shared the ribeye steak (medium rare) with mushrooms and spinach’s sides. Would get all but the mushrooms again.
For desert, we got a variety of cakes (not exactly sure which ones). Would get any cake there again.
We went to this place for a quick drink. I gotta say, this place was pretty bad in terms of drinks. I got a mojito, and it tasted water downed, to the point I could not taste either alcohol or the flavor. The quesedilla on the other hand was ok. However, not coming back here again.l (although I will say the chips and salsa were actually good also).
This place had a great view, and great good.
I had a Pina Colorado to start, which hit the spot (didn’t get any tequila drinks though. Maybe next time).
For appetizers, we got several to share. Also very good.
My main course was a quesadilla with chicken. Also very good.
Overall, great vibe (since it’s on the roof). Although there is only two things I’d be excited to order again.
First let me start by saying that if you don’t have a reservation, and you just show up, put your name down, and then go to Lolinda to grab a drink while you wait. When they entertain you that your table is ready, the hostess at Lolinfa will bring you to the El Techo elevators.
Now about the food. We ordered a good amount. We got the beef empanadas, the chips with guacamole, the half pound chicharones “carne” dish, and the pork shoulder quesadilla. From those, only the first two I really liked. The quesadilla is probably the only thing I wouldn’t order again.
Note (2/13/2021): do not order the old fashion lol. They put too much bitters.
This place I definitely would not go back to.
I ordered the Quesadilla (I got the super flour quesadilla). First, as pictured below, it basically is made like a burrito (and I really don’t like burritos). Second, I think it was just stuffed with too much things. Third, definitely not worth the price.
If I did ever go back, I would try the super corn quesadilla (mainly since I’m curious if it would be what I consider a normal quesadilla, and also it half the price of the one I ordered).
