Martínez

We stopped by this restaurant around 6 pm on a Sunday evening without a reservation, and luckily only had a short wait before getting seated. The host at the front desk was very polite and did their best to accommodate us, which we really appreciated. Our server was also wonderful. Since we weren’t very hungry, we ordered three appetizers: the flatbread, ceviche de pescado, and mussels. All three were delicious and definitely the highlights of the meal. For the main course, we shared a pasta. It was good, but not as impressive as the appetizers. Overall, the service was excellent and the experience was very pleasant. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in Mexico City.

Martínez Just got engaged and it had a Michelin Guide sign outside the location! Figured it would be a nice treat. The design of the restaurant was cold and the atmosphere was quite bland. Restaurant is open to outdoors as most restaurants are in Mexico but you don’t expect to get eaten alive by mosquitoes while trying to enjoy it… The service felt overly attentive like they were trying to be something they weren’t. The server didn’t make any genuine connection or add any personality to the service. As the prices are quite high at this restaurant I intend to give my opinion on every detail. Wine selection was quite enjoyable! The food was a little lacklustre… Pan de masa madre, mantequilla verde 8/10 The sourdough was dense and butter was quite herbaceous which I actually really enjoyed the freshness of it! Tartar de pescado, limón amarillo, aceite de oliva 8.9/10 This was mine and my fiancés favourite dish of the night! The fish was butter and fresh and was served with perfect amount of bread! Poro a las brasas, dátil, avellana, burrata 7.2/10 Personally nothing against the dish other than my own personal taste. There was some sort of apple sauce/pure on the dish that was quite sour to offset the sweetness of the dates I assume but for me it put me off the whole dish. Leeks were fantastic though, perfectly cooked. Papas Duchesse, espárragos, salsa de hongos 8.1/10 Prettiest dish of the night! Amazing plating very visually pleasing, the asparagus alone in the mushroom foam I could have eaten all night. The potato in this dish did have a weird grainy/flaky texture though that I wasn’t a fan of. Gnocchi de requesón, parmesano, suero de leche 8/10 The sauce was the star of the dish! Gnocchi had the textural consistency of cheese curds, which was slightly off putting and was quite heavy. NY steak & frites, béarnaise 2/10 Really disappointing… the steaks cook was a perfect medium rare hence the 2 score but it lacked seasoning, it was quite tough and chewy, the presentation wasn’t it. the jus was mediocre with no personality. My fiancé liked the frites but I couldn’t even finish one. And there was a hair in our steak to top it off so not a great finish. Overall wouldn’t eat there again cost was $3000. After tip ($255) Canadian

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our second time in Mexico City, and Martínez remains an absolute standout—one of those rare restaurants that reminds you why dining can feel like art. The food is the hero here: thoughtful, balanced, and deeply satisfying. Each dish arrives as a quiet revelation—beautifully composed, full of flavor, and layered with intention. The service was impeccable—gracious without pretense, warm without intrusion. Every moment felt considered. We found ourselves ordering far beyond reason, simply because everything was that superb. It’s a place that lingers with you—the kind of experience that makes you pause mid-bite, exchange a knowing glance, and smile. We’ll be back, without question, and will recommend it to anyone seeking a meal that captures the very spirit of Mexico City’s culinary excellence.

Perfect ambiance for a group of friends or a date. Great playlist. Food: 12/10, ordered ceviche, tartare, salad, and the best chicken you’ll ever have plus cheesecake that’s to die for. Legit, all of the food is amazing - can’t go wrong. Wines were phenomenal. The menu is on the small side for both food and wine - and justified. It’s all SO good. Only thing I didn’t like was the dirty martini - for some reason it tasted minty. As always, the company makes the meal so bring someone along who’s up for a great meal.

I've been here many times and absolutely love the food. The service has also been on point. One time I think we were there for 5 hours. The server gently asked for the table , understandably so! We kept ordering and just having an amazing time ! Definitely recommend it

They have a hearty, Gordon Ramsey style approach. It is good, accessible food, not challenging or provocative. Generous portions on the pot pie and the beef burgundy. The chicken pot pie was enjoyable, it had delicate spices I normally associate with sweets, cloves and/or nutmeg or maybe allspice? The asparagus cheese mushroom starter was the star of our meal. There was no hot spice in anything we ordered. They have paid a lot of attention to the wine menu. There are very decent table wines and then a whole “cava”section. Five stars because it was tasty and there was nothing to complain about, but it was not revelatory or anything.

Overall I think this place is over hyped. Service was amazing! They cleared our plates for every plate we got to start fresh and gave us a little dessert thing at the end for our anniversary which was very thoughtful. The food though over hyped. The leek with burrata was flavorless and the hazelnuts were had no place. The gnocchi sauce was trying to be cool with them doing a foamy sauce but then it melted and it was watery and the gnocchi didn't hold the sauce. The flatbread was good but tasted like a lox bagel. The steak was well cooked and great crust but like it was just a steak. The desert bite was got was the best thing we had.

We had an INCREDIBLE dinner at Martinez. The service and staff were wonderful. They don’t miss any detail and it truly enhances the experience. My husband and I both have dietary restrictions and they took it very seriously and made modifications to dishes that allowed the other guests with us to be able to still enjoy the dish in its original form while allowing us to also enjoy it. The mussels and chicken breast were the most memorable dishes for me. The IYKYK off-menu fries were also a highlight. The restaurant is small and cozy but each table has space to be comfortable. The atmosphere was well designed and had a calming feeling. The details like incense in the restroom were a nice extra touch that also delighted me.
