Planting the Spanish flag on Constituyentes is El Caserío, a fine dining restaurant known for its luxury, the alcohol-fueled power meetings, and the Suckling Pig. Housed inside the remnants of an old building, the restaurant's patio, which is the largest dining area of the restaurant, is light and fresh, thanks to the natural light and lush plants that adorn the room. It lends itself to be a very elegant but refreshing place to enjoy an evening dinner, and romantic enough during the night to bring your significant other only with the excuse to share a bottle of (insert favorite poison here).
The food is good, classy and traditional, and the service is great, as to be expected with any fine dining restaurant in Mexico. The various carpaccio are a good way to start any meal, but to follow the restaurant's theme, it would be natural to order the thin and salty slices of Jamón Ibérico de Bellota and a plate of cheeses. Once the wine menu makes its appearance, it is time to begin the festivities and remember the wonders Spain has bestowed upon the New World, or so they would have us believe.
There are plenty of options for first and main courses, the most notable of which are the Suckling Pig and the Roasted Quail. Most of the other dishes will make you enjoy your dinner, but nothing to be considered something memorable. The dessert menu is uninventive but delicious, because then again, who really doesn't enjoy sugar and fat? Honestly.
This restaurant keeps you coming back for the ambiance alone, but it is also a very enjoyable dining experience, and an excellent place to see and be seen.
