El Mirador de Chapultepec

A lovely cantina restaurant next to Chapultepec, which is 120 years old! Classic style, friendly service, delicious food. We visited for the 100th birthday of the Caesar salad, which they prepare at the table. It is absolutely amazing. I had duck carnitas, which were also amazing. And their Irish Coffee is a beautiful production. Highly recommended!

The restaurant is in a good walkable distance from chapultepec Park. We went for a lunch on Saturday . The food is good but v pricey for its offerings . The waiters are pushy...they push you to order more stuff which I didn't particularly like. The 3 salsas severed in the beginning with chips are amazing especially the pickled onion and peppers. But the chips along with it were worst - heavily burnt ends , way too lemony. Note: the chips ..bread and salsa are NOT complimentary- it is added in your bill. The server at the end asked how much are you going to tip me looking dead on into our eyes - we tip well so we didn't mind terribly...but the nature of tips by principle should be left to the customer to decide based on the service offered not demanded! When an establishment charges high dollars and is near a tourist attraction the expectation is that they know basic transactional English to help out a typical tourist. But none of the waiters knew . And using google translate didn't work much and ended in confusion. A friendly patron in the next table helped us out.

Good food but a little pricey.

Skip this place. Food was great, service was great until I got my bill. Tried to charge me $300 pesos for the bread, butter and salsa on the table. Eventually took it off but com’on. Don’t try to cheat a gringo just because it’s a slow day. Better restaurants elsewhere.

Not impressed. I guess they were offended that a woman entered the premises. Service and quality of food nothing to write home about.

The pesca Al pastor was excellent, the chips were burned, hence four stars instead of five. *Okay, after looking at other people's photos, it looks like that's the style here - the chips are almost blackened. Interesting! The flavor was a little carbon-y for me, but if it's a deliberately choice, then I take it back. Five stars it is.

It is amazing. The food is authentic and the place has been open for more than 118 years.

A real cantina to have good food and drinkies especially with hangover they will repair you if you what I mean, just the close time is really early but that’s the time they used 😥
