Los Danzantes

I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Definitely a fancier place with fancy dishes. I enjoyed the guacamole with crickets. Super delicious! The chips and salsa was bland, but fun to eat. Corn soup was a great choice, now I want the tortilla soup. The pork shank tacos were amazing. I mean dang they rocked. At all three in one bite practically. Where is took away stars was that the server was nice and all, but absent each time I needed him. It was pricey in comparison to other places of course, but i feel like I can find an abuela making some of the meals. Nor bad, just not on my favorite places. Got the cash to spare, the go for it!

The food here was delicious! I highly recommend trying some of their appetizers. The guacamole had a unique twist with the chapulines which we really enjoyed. For entrees, we tried to include mole based dishes as they are known for that. The mole negro is rich with spice. The enmolado pato had a sweeter dark mole and a savory green mole. We had several of the different types of mezcal based drinks and they were all delicious. The dessert was beautifully presented with cake filled with a rich chocolate and complimented by a sweet vanilla icecream. Our waiter Isaac was incredible and gave wonderful recommendations. The restaurant is very beautiful and incorporates traditional Mexican motifs. Service was a little slow but we were in no rush and it was worth the wait. There are peddlers closer to the street that come by and interrupt so ask to sit inside if something like that would bother you.

Delicious meal, our best meal in Mexico City! Our server Sevigne was very helpful! We had the beet salad, charred octopus (my favorite), duck mole, and quince empenada dessert! The tuna sour with meszcal is a delicious sweet and smoky meszcal cocktail with candied hibiscus petal (that is edible!). 100% must visit after the Frida Kahlo museum!

Excellent food, drinks and service. The decoration and style is very well done. The value you get compared to other places in the same area is unbeatable.

A genuine Mexican culinary experience. Great bar menu. Tasting flights of Mezcal. Great cocktails. Fine dining dishes like Huitlacoche fondue, roasted bone marrow, duck tacos, ribeye steaks. But also delicacies like grasshopper guacamole, ants, worms. Food was great. Drinks too. Service was amazing with Fernando and Alexis being very helpful, giving good advice and recommendations and providing the best service possible. Strongly recommended for anyone who want to try Mexican cuisine at it's genuine best.

We came to Mexico City for a week-long visit and this was hands down in the top 2 restaurants we visited. Beautiful place with knowledgeable staff. Elevated and authentic Mexican cuisine that isn’t catering to tourists. Everything was delicious. Get the huitlacoche fondue, leafy herb appetizer w cheese (Santa something), anything with mole and a mezcal tasting at the end.

We had a wonderful experience here. The food was great, and our waiter Alexis in particular made it a memorable experience. He helped us find the perfect dishes after we talked about what we like, he helped us pick a wine we liked, and he had a friendly attitude (and excellent English) that made us feel comfortable. The best dish we had (at his suggestion) was the duck with two mole sauces. The two moles were each great on their own. But when put together? Heaven.

Made reservations for this spot. Had a great dinner. Everything was fresh and delicious. Drinks were good,l. Our server Jaciel was amazing and very attentive. He answered all of our questions in Spanish and English. Located in center of the plaza, make time to take a stroll before or after.

We had a damn good meal here... in a private room... and it wasn't crazy expensive. Our group of six or seven did a walk-in for a lunch and they seated us upstairs in a private room that overlooked the Coyoacan plazita. We started with fresh margs and mezcal flights. I honestly can't remember what we ordered, but i do remember the standout dish was the "Hoja Santa" (which is photographed all over their website, so it's a house favorite) and the roasted beets. We also had chicken tortilla soup and others ate the pulpo. :( I'd easily go back in heartbeat next time in Coyoacan.

Amazing restaurant with high quality local cuisine near the Frida Kahlo museum. Service was slow but the ambiance and decor was beautiful.

Excellent service. Angel was a gem. His recommendations were on point. He listened and truly took care of us. Food is amazing and ambiance is calm, cool and fabulously inviting. I highly recommend Los Danzantes to anyone who wants delicious food and a great environment.

I have mixed feelings about this last visit to Los Danzantes. First of all, the service remains excellent. Our waiter that we had this time ought to teach classes on how to be a professional waiter. He was very accommodating and made sure that we enjoyed our meal. The worst part was that the restaurant has changed the menu, they have steered away from their specialties that focused a distinct affinity with traditional Nahuatl cuisine. This time the menu was short and closer to higher-end American-style restaurants. It had a choice of ribeye, and yes other specialties were Mexican food, but not like the menu from the previous year. The Huitlacoche fondue had gone through a major change that the delightful fondue we had back in October 2023. This time less cheese and the flavor was compromised. I am aware of another location in Oaxaca, and after browsing that menu it almost makes me wonder if this location was purchased by a new owner. I will have to go to that location if I intend to try something exceptional. The dessert that we purchased to take to our hotel was horrible. We bought an apple tart that tasted weird. The cinnamon-seasoned apples tasted like they had some weird unhealthy aftertaste.

it's a popular place on the plaza Coyoyacan. I stopped in for a small bite. the ceviche verde--beautifully presented was a nice mix of fish and avocado, and a sauce of herbs to go with the blue corn tortilla. The tortilla soup was also nicely presented with a pour of the soup over the dry ingredients, but then took time for the dry ingredients to soak up some soup.

LOVE this place. Incredible Oaxacan fusion. The mescal is some of the best. Must try when in CDMX.

Really beautiful higher end restaurant right in the park. They specialize in Mezcal drinks, the mezcal mojito and margaritas were both very good (particularly recommend the mojito). We came for pre-dinner drinks, and they required the purchase of appetizers to sit which was totally fine. We ordered the empanadas and the fondue which were delicious and pretty filling.

The Best! Go here, not just once while in Coayacan, but everyday, if you can! It's just that good! Our last meal before we headed to Huatulco, so let's do it right. It started with our server, Brian, who was incredible. He recognized our time limitations and took care of our meal efficiently yet without feeling rushed. One of our friends wasn't feeling well, so our server went out of his way to get home some toasted bread, which was not on the menu. Between us we enjoyed a roasted beet, rolled in crushed almonds and served with a delicious sauce. This felt like you were slicing into a steak, it was so perfectly prepared and filling. We had a salad with grilled chicken and roasted seasonal vegetables, I'm still dreaming of this! Exceptional! Lastly mu husband enjoyed a taco of gusanos and a sope with corn and ants, I passed on that and I'm sure he was happy that I did, since he had this plate all to himself! The restaurant is beautiful; located in the town center and the offerings will appeal to all palates!

Great for romantic and expensive bites. Quality: 5 Value: 3 Service: 5 Ambiance: 3 We had an hour to kill and came in for a drink and an appetizer each. We sat on their lovely patio which was only lit by candles, which was romantic but to be honest...it was so dark we could barely see our food! So, some tradeoffs. We had the huitlacoche (special fungus/mushroom fermented corn) on bread, and the empanadas. The serving size of each was quite large! Both were also very delicious. That said, it's definitely very expensive, and the entrees were expensive for us as Americans (let alone locals). The drinks were delightful and they had a huge range of tequila, mezcals, and other options.

Food amazing! Great veg options. Beautiful plating. Wide array of flavors and textures. Really a gem. And the square was so vibrant and fun to wander afterwards.

Disappointing. This place has everything but good food. It is supposed to be a higher nicer restaurant and it hit the mark in regard to ambience, location, vibe, drinks, and service( exceptional). Unfortunately, we were so disappointed by the food. We started off with Tortilla Soup to share and the complimentary bread. The soup was presented beautifully and poured into the bowl, table side for a nice touch. It was so over-salted that it overwhelmed the other flavors. The broth was too thick (in my opinion, like a stew) and barely warm. We both tried it and left it. Second course was the Tostada Danzante. This was a crunchy traditional tortilla served almost like a thin flat bread with several local cheeses, crispy grasshoppers and a couple bite size tomatoes. Again, beautiful presentation but flavor was extremely salty!! The cheeses were already salty, add the grasshoppers which are usually little salt bombs, and then seasoned lard, too much! We tried adding the tomato to our bites to cut the salt but it still overwhelmed every flavor. My friend ordered the pork shank tacos hoping for a basic dish, elevated to another level but it didn't even qualify at that. After 3 failed dishes I refused to order a main and opted to close out our tab. The waiter noticed our dishes were almost intact and questioned our like/ dislikes of the dishes. I ended up with the manager at our table as I honestly shared my thoughts about the food. He ended up bringing us a few more bites to try which were better than the ones we ordered but not a place I would return to or recommend solely based on the food. I want to point out that the manager and waiter went out of their way to make sure we had a better food experience ( bringing several other samples of dishes to try) and I appreciated that, it just wasn't worthy of a recommendation.

I was really excited about here. Because 1of my friends of friend recommended . I said really wanted seafood so friend was bring me here. Service is great and perfect! I really love very nice. Order grilled octopus . It was mistake. I knew marinaded but my preference is need some sauce. Like chimichurri or some kind of tomato based hot sauce. Well they gave us a sauce. So we just put on( usually I don't like to change of taste because there chefs decide food. Any way ok. Others duck salads . It was looks fancy but taste wise just salty and vinegary that's it. Also we put other sauce to taste it. I don't know that sauce was supposed be using for bread they gave us? Or for every food . Any way I was little disappointed. I saw other table. All other table order meat or tacos. Any way I don't think I will come back again. They have another restaurant around . Not tourists area... but service was very good. So may be drink will be good

This place was recommended to me by a local, it's Oaxaca style food she said. Took an Uber to center of Coyote Town.. got dropped off 25 minutes away from here in middle of nowhere. I'm glad I walked the 25 minutes because this is an excellent restaurant! Showed up in Coyoacan around 3pm and checked out the church and a few shops/ very cool old town. Looking into the resto, it's completely full inside and out at 3pm? Had to try this one! Started with some great local IPA and ordered the famed Santa Hoja Appetizer. It's basically a pepper leaf filled with two types of melted cheeses served with homemade tortillas. Was great & on menu for 20 years they said? Finished with a slow roasted filet of beef in mole sauce. This was so good! Service was impeccable. Must stop joint in Coyote Town! Talk later

We made a dinner reservation ahead of time and were promptly seated upon arrival. Service was attentive and the food came at the right pace so we were constantly eating and drinking. We had a group of 8 and the outdoor seating in the front was really comfortable and spacious. The beet salad was probably my favorite item. Corn fungus (Huitlacoche) was a new hit as well. Fried shrimp was terribly underwhelming as it was overcooked. The tlayuda with grasshoppers was tasty and a surprise hit as well.

Everything here was phenomenal; the service, the food, the drinks, the decor. We ordered the bone marrow, duck enchiladas with mole, and prime filet. Our mezcal was wonderful as well. Don't miss this spot!

Good service. Found gluten free and dairy free foods. Interesting to try grasshopper here. And the turkey black mole was great. Generally a good experience after going to Frida Kahlo's House

This is a special place. The restaurant building and location are spectacular which is combined with excellent food and good service. I had dinner here with two business colleagues and we wanted a light meal. We started with cerviche which was delicious and then shared enchiladas de pato with two moles. The mole negro was amazing. We then shared pulpo which was good but not outstanding. I am looking forward to returning on my next trip to Mexico City.

I really wanted to enjoy my dinner, but unfortunately I didn't. The tlayuda wasn't tasty. The cheese was sparse, chapulines weren't seasoned well, and just didn't enjoy it. The restaurant is beautiful and service is good.

This was probably one of the best dinners we had in Mexico City! It is a charming, Neo-Oaxacan (if that even is a category...think of the Mexican equivalent of New American cuisine) space located next to the Fuente de los Coyotes in central Coyoacan. After a day of adventurous eats in Mercado de Coyoacan, I wanted to cross huitlacoche (corn fungus) off my list. We got a huitlacoche tostada, grilled bone marrow, fried tuna tacos, and roast beets. When we were there (late June), they even had a special escamol menu (ants) that I was really compelled to try, but my parents vetoed it immediately. Next time, though. Each dish was beautifully presented and portions were quite generous compared to some of the dinners we had in Condesa and Roma. I can't decide which one was my favorite, but the roasted beets (covered in peanut, sesame, panko (?) served with farro was fantastic. The huitlacoche was surprisingly savory, earthy, and like black truffle. It paired amazingly with the avocado and microgreens on the tostada. Will be reminiscing about this meal for a long time.

Great flavors and original dishes. Enjoyed the rice entree with seafood and the corn fungus. Cocktails and wine were great as was the service. Did not enjoy the endless parade of bad karaoke singers and trinket salespeople out front. Beware if you take an outdoor seat close to the square.

Food was good, the chapulines were good, the chile en Nogada was very crafty and tasty. Service was OK but I was expecting more, Waiter checked my table o my once, even when I finished my drink. Ambience was good, the location in the Coyoacán street is magical.

One of the better restaurants in the area, you get some amazing dishes here. I thought I'd go out of my comfort zone and order a dish with crickets. The Mogo Mogo were plantain croquettes with chile and toasted crickets for $145 pesos. I can't say they taste like chicken, but when they are ground up into indiscernible pieces you really can't tell if they have a flavor. I would say a bit on the nutty side. I would eat them again. Also had the green ceviche. Fish of the day in a coconut milk with blue corn chips. I don't recall the price, but very different flavors and I loved it! Facing the park area, if you do sit alongside the outdoors, be prepared to be approached by the many artists, vendors, beggars, etc. The ambiance itself is amazing! Low lighting with classical and modern Mexican architecture. Price-wise, it is expensive for a restaurant in Mexico City, but compared to the US it is reasonable. When I come back to Mexico City, I am going to hit this place up again. It really is a feast for the mouth, eyes and ears.

1) This restaurant seems clean 2) decor is good and servers are nice 3) we returned here to use the bar so we can have a lemonade and they couldn't take us but they offered to go which was accommodating! 4) bathrooms were clean The tayulas were dry.. the guacamole was excellent.. the corn tamales were very sweet but with hot sauce provided it was much better.. the ceviche was not marinated enough so the fish was still pink... and they still charged us for it though we did not eat it and communicated the issue

We visited casa azul and decided to eat in the neighborhood afterwards. This restaurant was recommended on some platforms and by our hotel staff, so we decided to try it. The ambiance is great, nice patio and indoors. The staff are super friendly and helpful. There are a couple of things that are pretty common in all restaurants we tried in Mexico City compared to the US; one is the loud music and the other one is the slower service. Slow service could be great if you have time for a longer dining experience, but when you are in rush or tired at the end of the day, it is less desirable. The food in this restaurant was certainly above average. We tried some appetizers and duck mole. It was well prepared but the mole was super heavy and sweet, to a point that it would make you feel full after a few bites. Overall we enjoyed it, so I would definitely rate it above average.

Great place with indoor and outdoor seating. Farm to table type. Make a rez on open table or walk in (might have a wait). Hoja santa 3/5 - not my favorite thing but it is well made. Has a licorice/anise flavor that I'm not a fan of, and didn't get the "fresh" I was looking for. Served with tortilla Danzantes tostada 2.5/5 - grasshoppers were too vinegary in flavor Pork shank tacos 4/5 - very good, tender meat. Add some of the Chile morita salsa that comes with the bread basket Arroz tumbada 4/5 - flavorful soup with seafood and rice Creamy rice 4/5 - yum super flavorful! Grilled asparagus 4/5 Seared octopus pulpo - 4.5/5 perfectly cooked, comes with a bit of salad and beet puree Duck enchiladas- tried the sauce of a friends plate, and wow the green mole is SO good. Very fresh vegetable flavor. Get some mezcal or their cocktails are great too. Tuna sour is amazing (tuna is a fruit not the fish tuna btw), the mezcal milk punch is also good. Been here several times over the years. This place is getting quite pricey especially its mezcal. $45 for a small plastic water bottle. Good complimentary bread basket with a couple salsas

Wow, what a fun experience here with my wife! We had an absolutely delicious dinner and dessert and will definitely be coming back again! There are a lot of really great places to eat in Mexico City and I would say that this would be top 15 for me and top 3 favorite restaurants in Coyoacan! The ambiance is nice (depending on what day you go since it could be a little crazy with all the rest of the stuff going on in the center park of Coyoacan), but they did a nice job with lights, plants, etc. to make it feel romantic. The service staff is very nice and on top of things The food is absolutely delicious and not one thing we ordered was not up to par with the dining experience. From appetizers to main entrees to dessert, it was all wonderful! Would recommend checking this place out.

Omg!!! This place had waiters that were so attentive and knowledgeable about their menu, we ordered crispy fish tacos, chamorrro tacos, Hoja santa with cheese and sauce ,that was an authentic flavor dating back to the MAYANS !! I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to taste such a dish...Loved it!!....I recommend you try...Thank you !!

One of my favorites restaurants in CDMX. If you love Oaxacan food, this is the place to be. To start, they have a great mezcal selection and cocktail menu and you won't go wrong with a mango mezcal margarita! Service is great and everyone is extremely attentive and cordial. I don't love the hoja santa starter but try the tlayuda de setas to start. I also loved the chapulines starter, but I guess that's not for everyone. My favorite main dish is the pork belly with mole de cenizas... amazing! For desert the cascada de chocolate with gorgonzola ice cream is my go to choice and I highly recommend it.

Everything we ordered was delicious octopus oyster mushroom bone marrow a cheese dish wrapped in a leaf ceviche excellent service

Cool place! Drinks on point. Guacamole crickets n cheese very good! Hoja Santa good but a bit salty for my taste. Milpa soup a bit salty. Tlayuda with mushroom was ok. Enchiladas de mole with duck good! Duck with mole not so good. The duck was too hard to cut with a knife. Service was good. They took off the duck with mole.

The food is exquisite, the service is impeccable and the ambience is Coyoacan-fabulous. There is not much more one could ask for in a restaurant. Wholeheartedly recommended. Great drinks too!

The food was nothing great. Sounds good but the food is rather bland and nothing to get excited about. The service wasn't great either. Go somewhere else.

This restaurant was incredible. The food melted in our mouths and each plate was a a different experience in deliciousness !

Fun and lively; vibe, beautiful plating, and good service. Charming location if you are in Coyoacan visting Frida House or the artist market. Nice cocktail menu, and wide variety of options. The food was good- not the greatest, but good- and it is pricey. We had hoja santa, tripe tacos, chicken mole, apple salad. There is a nice atmosphere so I would go back, but for a cocktail and a light appetizer.

Amazing place. Jaciel was the best! We had a great time during breakfast. We'll definitely come back!

The place by and in itself is nice. However the food was not memorable, to say the least. Had a tortilla spup which was unedible: too spicy and insted of a soup it reminded me ore of a hot salsa over a few tortilla chips. The beef stake "en chichilo" was undercooked and not silurprising at all. I have to say I was quite disappointed and I believe the place is living of the name it has made for itself throughout the years.

We came across Los Danzantes by coincidence before visiting Frida K museum. I got the grilled octopus which was delicious!! I have no complaints about this place. Maybe a bit overpriced but it's also coyocan and it's a bit of a touristy area.

We came here on the recommendation of our concierge while visiting the neighborhood, and the area and restaurant was definitely packed. Ended up going with two popular dishes, the duck tacos and the crickets. The duck tacos didn't have that usual duck chewiness I've experience before, and it was good. The crickets honestly didn't taste like anything crazy as they were fried, and the dish woulda been better had I topped the crickets on some other protein as well instead of making tacos out of just that. Glad I got to check that off my bucket list of foods to try tho!

I really loved this place Everything is delicious Food, service, drinks Everything hand crafted

Awful hosting, underwhelming dishes, decent ingredients, nice waiters. We made opentable reservations that were mysteriously canceled by the restaurant two hours before our time slot. That should have deterred us but the reviews were good so we decided to try for an earlier table in person. The hostesses ignored us as we stood in front of their podium until we spoke up. We asked about the cancellation and that was ignored but we were told to wait for a table for an unknown amount of time since "people keep ordering more so we don't know when they'll leave". Finally get to eat and the food is pretty but severely underwhelming. They toss bread on the table with some hard tack tostada-ish things and salsas. The salsas were great but I don't usually dig baguette with salsa. Butter please? The Hoja Santa was meh in flavor and the salsa was so watery that the waiter nearly sloshed it off the platter by accident. We got two of the Día Muertos special menu items: lamb chops in guajillo salsa and duck breast in mole de ceniza. Both were fairly plain and the portions were tiny. Did I miss something that said this was a tapas place? The lamb dish had only two chops and one was ok but the other chop was raw, not rare. The duck was just.. ok. The waiter was nice enough and the mezcal was great but lord knows I'll never understand the previous reviews about the food. Yikes!

Aside from a somewhat charming atmosphere and good service, everything off its menu were really underwhelming. I ordered the shrimp tlayuda while my friends had the coco shrimp, tuna, and two different types of steak. The tortilla that wraps my tlayuda was suppose to be crisp around the edges, but mine was stale and practically unedible. My friends also complained about the quality of the steaks and fish entrees. I personally tried the tuna and they were very poorly cooked. In fact, the inside of the tuna tasted like it was just defrosted. Funny enough, we raised the issue to the waiter about the tuna and he immediately agreed with us and offered to take them off the bill. I was honestly quite surprised that this poor level of food can come out of the kitchen of a fine dining restaurant. The only plausible explanation is that our service was the last one in the evening. Anyhow, this is highly inexcusable for the price we paid and the fact that almost all of our dishes consistently missed the marks.

This place came very highly recommended. We were there on nye week and sat right away just after desayuno. This is where there good ended. Our waiter came over and told us there was a changeover to lunch and our food would take "15 minutes". Now we are aware that a Mexican 15 minutes can be much longer...1 hour later our meal was still not complete. Each table around us were served sauces and chips, we were not. Our drinks did come out but we were done with them before a single food item hit the table. In fact, a table next to us sat down 20 minutes after us, order a similar meal and 2 drinks each, were out the door before we had our last dish ordered...horrible no matter where you are dining. The food was just ok. Very expensive. Appears to be a tourist trap. There are about 100 restaurants within a block of this place...highly recommend somewhere else and will for all my traveling friends as well.

Been here a few times for drinks and dates and finally came back to try the food. The cocktails are really good, I've had the margaritas and caiparinhas and both were perfect, not too sweet. The green ceviche tastes fresh and delicious. Came for lunch on a sunday and got a nice free serving of various breads with two yummy salsas. Really high quality bread basket haha. Started with the Chamorro and agave tacos which were muy rico, my only complaint was the corn tortillas were a bit tough but I think they did that so there only has to be one tortilla (instead of the traditional double tortillas you get with street tacos). But the meat was delicious and it came with some very smooth and delightful guacamole. Only thing I didn't love was the charred octopus, which normally I love but I think here the portion was too big and it came with a beet purée which I think was an odd choice (I love beets, just not sure they pair with octopus). And the side salad (more of a garnish really) didnt add anything and was quite plain. The patio is lovely and the service is great. overall very nice spot and will definitely be bringing the parents here when they come to visit. I spent about $35 (700 pesos) including a 20% tip for a margarita, the Chamorro agave tacos and the octopus.

All I can say is wow! Excellent service and excellent flavors, from the drinks to the food. We were adventurous and tried the chapulines as a starter, they were great! Different, but great, in its own exotic way. In addition to this I had sangria paired with the duck enchiladas. It was the perfect pairing. I can't wait to come back! There are so many different options here and they all look great! This place was perfect for our group size of 5, but I would love to come back here on a date, as it's very romantic.

Delicious! Try the Mexican Pepper leaf appetizer.

We found this beautiful restaurant to have all the features of a great dining experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, the service was excellent and the food delicious. Our server prepared us a delicious sangria at our table while we enjoyed the music provided by a live trio. We enjoyed our dinner and will return next time we are in Mexico.

The food was absolutely delicious. A nice Oaxaca's flair. We enjoyed the accommodating staff as well.

Excelente servicio y la comida extraordinaria. La tostada de maíz con huitlacoche una maravilla el rib eye espectacular! Los cócteles inolvidables! Que vuelvo y vuelvo! Gracias Oscar nuestro mesero!
