Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in Poniente

Such a wonderful gem! We loved lunch so much we are going back for the evening tasting menu.

Amazing dinner overlooking the square & cathedral. Food was amazing & margaritas exceptional. We will return for lovely ambiance.

Samos at The Ritz-Carlton delivers a truly world-class dining experience that seamlessly blends elevated Mexican cuisine with impeccable service and breathtaking views of Mexico City. From the moment you arrive, the restaurant impresses with its sophisticated ambiance and stunning cityscape backdrop, setting the tone for an unforgettable meal. The food is an exquisite celebration of Mexican flavors, masterfully crafted with creativity and precision. Each dish showcases the richness and diversity of the local cuisine while elevating it to a fine dining experience. The staff is equally outstanding—efficient, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly. A special mention goes to Ivan, a world-class bartender whose internationally acclaimed drink creations take the experience to another level. His expertise and passion shine through in every sip, making the visit even more memorable. While the prices align with what one would expect at a Ritz-Carlton establishment, they are more than justified by the exceptional quality of the food, service, and ambiance. Samos doesn’t just serve a meal—it creates lasting memories. This is a restaurant I will eagerly return to on every trip to Mexico City. It’s a true gem that exemplifies the very best of what fine dining can offer. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary experience.

One of the best meals in Mexico City. All of the dishes are made based on fresh, available ingredients. All of the dishes were great. Thanks to chef Ana Dolores and servers Mercedes and Nadia, we had the best dining experience we have had in Mexico Ciry. Great food, even better service.

Second time at La Buena Barra and as always a great experience. Food and service are extraordinary!
