I went to Biko to celebrate my 30th birthday and it was truly disappointing. Super expensive unmemorable food, the service was just ok, and I didn't like the atmosphere. Last time we came here was 3.5 years ago when someone invited us as a wedding gift. That dinner was amazing. We had the tasting menu that also included drinks. We felt special, the food was delicious and original, so we were super happy. I wanted to celebrate my 30th birthday here, but unfortunately it was nothing close to our previous experience.
I agree with other reviews, the food was ok but nothing extraordinary. We also ordered the tasting menu, but this time we weren't surprised by the flavors. Probably the best dish was the first one: the foie gras. It was delicious and different, in fact it's the first foie gras I like. The mushroom soup was also great. The rest of the food was only ok, and I found the last dish too weird. It was pork with a black sauce. I liked the desserts. I called one 'shrek' because it was green and it looked really funny. But when I tasted it, I really liked it. It had quintonil cream/foam and some parts of the desert tasted like celery. They just really need to improve the presentation of the dishes. I don't remember the two other desserts (they gave me a free one because of my birthday).
We ordered two glasses of wine, we started with white and ended with red. The waiter recommended them to us and they were good. They cost around $200 MXN.
Biko also has to improve its decoration/ atmosphere because it didn't feel special. Waiters were ok, but not super nice as you would expect in a place like this. So in the end our dinner didn't end up being special, which is a shame because this place is expensive ($1600 +tip per person). I wish I had celebrated somewhere else, no wonder why they lost so many places in San Pellegrino's ranking. This is not only me, all the recent reviews are more or less the same. I probably won't come back.
