“ Cute little shop, food was delicious, great service and everyone on the team was nice. Janet was very kind and helpful. ”
“ Hands down one of the best crema de elote I’ve had in my life! They make it with coconut milk and the roasted corn and sauteed onions and crispy surprises! Service was fantastic by Janet, she seems so proud to work at the restaurant and the food they serve. They were so accommodating and comfortable. ”
“ Beautiful, calm, and clean Mexican restaurant that's quick and reasonably priced. It's hidden in a corner of the airport, which means it's not as crowded as most places which is nice; so much so that I usually detour to eat here when passing through CDMX airport. Today, I was in and out for a quick breakfast (huevos divorciados and green juice) in 25 min; I was spared the chaos and crowds of the rest of the airport, making the 4 minute detour worthwhile. ”
“ Food portions and flavors are more suitable for international travelers and not necessarily natives. Not too spicy, vegetarian options. Not the most traditional mexican food. Price is average for airport restaurant, but at least the food doesn't taste like reheated meals like other airport restaurant. Service is friendly and atmosphere feels less hectic than other restaurants in T2 ”
“ I am an American. But after spending a week here eating the most delicious Mexican food and then coming here to try some chilaquiles with their mole sauce and una agua de jamaica, I was very surprised. The mole was delicious and filling, the egg was small, and the agua de jamaica was refreshing. One of the best meals I’ve had in an airport ”
“ Delicious, high quality food. Mexican food as it should be done (hand made tortillas, high quality fresh ingredients, flavorful, etc). Service was fast and friendly. They had vegetarian and vegan options (marked) and the place was super nice. Best food option in T2 by far. I’d eat here even if it wasn’t at the airport. Truly worth the visit. Prices are reasonable. ”
“ Super nice place if you have time to kill while waiting for your flight. Good food and the service is also great! Highly recommended ”
“ Tacos and the squash blossoms quesadillas were fresh and delicious. Very surprised to eat that good in an airport. The cortado was great too. ”
