Sabores amorosos

El lugar es sencillo pero refleja mucho de la tradición mexicana. La atención es excelente y con gran amabilidad y disposición. Lo mejor de todo es la comida. Son combinaciones de sabores y texturas deliciosamente armonizadas. Definitivamente es uno de los mejores lugares veganos!!

Pros: Totalmente vegano , Comida típica mexicana, Opciones para desayuno, comida y cena

Cons: Relativamente caro, Un poco oscuro

Nice surprise

It was flavorful. Friendly service. I didn’t have a cocktail but I’m fairly positive they had a decent variety of drinks. I would definitely go back. It’s very casual ambiance.

Pros: Vegan , Delicious

Deliciosa comida vegana

Los sabores son exquisitos, uno de los mejores restaurantes que hemos visitado. Si quieres probar nuevos sabores en comida vegana está es la opción. Lo mejor es que que son sabores tradicionales con un giro increíble. Los precios son elevados pero vale cada peso.

Upscale Mexican Cuisine

This place offers a wide variety of traditional mexican dishes. However, this is not the traditional food you would find anywhere, the ingredients used for every dish make them quite elaborate.

Cons: Portions are rather small

One of the best meals on this trip

By far, one of the best meals on this trip. Ojo de Maíz is a lovely place doing exciting things with its food. We ordered four things:

1. Sopa de habas secas y chochoyotes: soup of dried beans and corn dumplings
2. Flor de calabaza rellena de calabacitas: fried squash blossoms stuffed with zucchini and mushrooms on roasted tomato sauce
3. Betabeles y aguacate tatemado: grilled beets and avocado salad on a pistachio and hoja santa emulsion
4. Chicharron de trigo en salsa verde y roja: chicharrón made from wheat in green and red sauce

There are so many highlights to call out—the soup with its corn dumplings, which I’ve never had and want in ALL my soups now, the fry of the squash blossoms, the grilled avocados, the wheat chicharrones…

And definitely can’t forget the staff who were so incredibly kind. Aside from being patient with my broken Spanish, they gave me the name of a song I liked that was playing over the speakers. Now each time I listen to the song (el jardinero by Gus), I think of that wonderful meal.

Pros: The lovely walkway on Amsterdam St. to the store

Amazing

Great place with more upscale vegan interpretations of traditional Mexican dishes. A little bit on the pricier side, compared to other places nearby, be makes up for it with flair and presentation. Clientele can be a bit snooty from our experience.

Pros: Delicious, Good variety

Cons: A bit pricier

Maíz, please!

Traditional Mexican ingredients are used to produce creative renditions of traditional and original dishes. You need to order something made with maíz like the delicious tetelas or the panque de elote (corn bread) with popcorn ice cream.

I’m still eating and already I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes!

Rare and delicious

This restaurant is a rare gem for vegan restaurants in Mexico City.
The cuisine is modern yet relies in traditional cooking. They source ingredients from their own orchard and make tortillas on site. The staff are very kind, the food is delicious and the ambience is nice and comfortable.
It looks like every detail is very thought of. Recommend 100%

Pros: All vegan, Serves cocktails and other alcoholic beverages , Delicious and innovative cuisine

Cons: Parking is a bit difficult
