Comments:
A little nook of a spot tucked away inside of a small strip mall; pretty hidden - if you’re just looking for signs, you’re not going to find it
Came here twice during my stay in Mexico City - it was that good
They had a pretty extensive wine selection, showcasing a bunch of local wine and international wines
I liked the lighting in the space which led to good photography ideas
The picanha steak was the most impressive piece of meat that I ate during this trip - tender, juicy, meaty, fatty, served with some creamy mashed potatoes
