Páramo

Decent experience, but didn’t quite live up to the hype I had heard great things about Páramo, but my visit was just okay. We were seated in a separate room, away from the main area, and unfortunately it felt a bit disconnected from the atmosphere and energy the restaurant is known for. The food was fine—some interesting options on the menu, but nothing that really stood out as exceptional. I was expecting more bold flavors or creativity given the reputation, but everything felt a bit average. Service was polite and the space is nicely designed, but overall the experience didn’t quite match the expectations. I’d be open to giving it another try, hopefully seated in the main area next time.

This was one of my favorite sets of tacos I had in CDMX, the vibes are amazing and the drinks are good too. The place is definitely a little more expensive, but it’s well worth it in my opinion. I cannot wait to come back!

Phenomenal restaurant that is tucked away between two other restaurants.. we went in without reservations and had to wait for over an hr. But something told us it would be worth it.. and it didn’t disappoint! Absolutely delish good - we ordered the Baja Norte fish tacos, chicken tacos, Ceviche tacos & the Munecha pork tacos. Everything was delish and the service was on point. Crowd was very nice & friendly as well. Highly recommend

Excellent vibe, delicious tuna ceviche, and a great spread of mini tacos to try. The mezcal cocktails were a hit. Would definitely recommend you book a reservation!

Waited 45 min for a table but the bar area was cool and they can transfer your drink order to the table so you don’t have to close out. Food was good but it came out cold. We ordered the cheese and it was pretty hardened and gross lol we sent it back to get heat up and they forgot about it. The bizancio a caballo was also congealed. I don’t think there’s anything worse than cold melted cheese. I appreciated how it wasn’t that geared toward tourists though. There was also a lot of variety on the menu. I got a meatball taco that was stuffed with an egg. Quite interesting. However, they ran out of three of the fish taco options so my pescatarian friend had to order a mushroom taco lol. They also didn’t give our table any accompaniments like salsa so I guess you have to ask for that? The cazuela was great. I forgot which one we got but it’s the second pic. Meat was super tender and flavorful that was the best and most redeeming part of dinner. Honestly this is the only reason this was a 4 star review and not a 3 star review. Also, the sangria is AWFUL do not get it. I don’t even know how to describe how bad it was but none of us liked it.

Don’t believe the hype. The atmosphere is better than the food and service. I would recommend going somewhere else to get better value and food. Portions were small (particularly the guac). Service was slow and some requests (eg. for more water or salsa) went ignored. Tacos were good, but should be better for their price. Go if you just want to vibe in a cool atmosphere - for food/drinks, you can find better.

It was a bit hard to find. Maybe I’m a tourist and can’t follow the directions properly, but don’t forget to go upstairs. we actually end up going to the place downstairs only when we started ordering we realized that this is not the same place. we had a quick drink and then moved upstairs and then we had food and more drinks. Their cocktails were really good and the food was really tasty. The interior is very beautiful and you also get nice views if you are able to find a seat at the window. The vegetarian options are clearly marked on the menu with the leaves. They also have vegan options.

Sadly, it was a disappointment. On paper, the menu looks good. But the flavors were subdued if not missing. Including the ceviche, which was flavorless. Saving grace were the salsas and hot sauces on the table.

The vibes here are IMMACULATE, it's very unassuming from the outside but once you get upstairs you feel as if you're transported to another world I don't even remember exactly what we ordered, but I just know that I had one of the best ceviches I've ever had here. We tried two different ceviches - one tuna and another I can't remember - but the depth of flavor was incredible. We were able to try several different tacos off the menu and they were very hit or miss - some of them were really unique and flavorful while others were a bit bland. Generally, I felt like the ceviche was more worth here as there are dozens of other places you can get better tacos in CDMX. I would definitely come back next time I'm in CDMX

One of the more popular spots for a high-caliber cocktail program, creative tacos, and posh environs in the Roma-Condessa area, Paramo can get a bit crowded even on a weekday evening, so come prepared to wait. While not every dish was perfect, some of the options were spectacular. Our favorite was the vegetarian taco served with a lovely bean-mushroom paste blended finely with an umami-rich mole sauce. It filled the gap of richness often found in vegetarian tacos.

Very nice ambiance and very nice service but that's about it! The decor here is lovely, there's so many plants and a lot of different frames along with many handicrafts. Among the 4 different tacos we ordered, only the shrimp taco was good. I agree with the other reviews that talked about food being meh. We did not get any drinks as we stopped by for dinner after drinks elsewhere. The dessert was alright, but surprisingly my husband loved it!

Fantastic tacos, good service, refilled salsa/limes at no cost. Was a bit crowded and hard to find (no sign, just need to go up the unlabeled stairs), but overall was a fantastic meal. I got the classic pork taco (first on the taco menu) and ended up ordering more because of how juicy and delicious it was. Guac was really good and pretty inexpensive ($58 MXN I believe). Definitely worth a stop while you are in CDMX!

I had high hopes for this restaurant, but it was just ok. It's a very touristy spot with many customer speaking English. My Mezcal Pepino cocktail was pretty good and it was well balanced with the smokiness of the mezcal and the freshness of the cucumber. For food I ordered the Taco Xochimilco, Taco La Poblana, and Taco Emalaura. All 3 tacos were ok, but as I mentioned there was nothing special about them. The service was good and the staff were all very nice. I definitely feel there are better restaurants in Mexico City.

La comida está normales, pero lo que no me gustó nada es que las mesas están tan juntas que terminas estando más cerca del desconocido de la mesa de alado que de la persona con la que vienes.

Very kind and friendly service. Food is good and you don't need reservations, you can wait in the bar while there is space. Duck was one of the plate that it is their main menu, it is food. But I would say cazuelas are the best, give it a try!

Interesting, intriguing and special is what I can call Páramo. While staying at a BnB in the neighborhood of Roma Norte in CDMX, we were always on the lookout for close by eateries, cafés, coffee shops and bakeries. This one hit the spot in oh so many ways! It turns out to be one you don't appreciate from outside off hand, as it's somewhat obscure but once you enter, Wow! We ventured in. It turns out, Páramo is a sophisticated eatery and cocktail lounge with uncommon, fine and beautiful woodwork, table settings, an amazing bar with an incredible display of alcohol, reminiscent of San Francisco's Pied Piper Bar (but much smaller). This sophisticated eatery shows its stance not only in looks, but in its menu offerings, elite service and professional presentations. Apparently, they are also unique in the types and styles of Mexican fare offered. We started with Pulque de Orumba, an incredibly unique alcoholic drink made from maguey and a few beers for those more timid in our group. We decided to go whole hog into experimenting with traditional and distinctive flavors not normally found in U.S. Mexican restos. We ordered a Sobe de Nopal con Hummus de Aguacate (Prickly Pear Soup with Avocado Hummus) this was fascinatingly good! Also, we went for a Tamal de Frijol con Mole Almendrado (Bean Tamale with Almond Mole) - you want unique, this is it - it was fantastic. The flavors were exciting without being overwhelming and also delicious. Next came the Taco de Huevo de Codorniz con arroz negro (Quail Egg Taco with Black Rice), again, fab beyond explanation. I was enchanted by the uniqueness, the exoticness and deliciousness of these uncommon (to us) dishes. Our group experienced much more that evening, too much to include here. The crux of the matter is, that we were extremely elated to discover the Páramo experience when we did, as it turned out to be one of the top ten restaurants we visited and experienced while staying in Roma Norte. If you're ever in the vicinity, this is a must stop, as you will never regret it.

We found this place on Google after wandering around the Roma Norte neighborhood for awhile. The restaurant is located on a higher floor and there is only a sandwich board with on the street with the restaurant name. I think the restaurant is divided into multiple rooms, but the room we were in was packed and tables were VERY close to their neighbors (not for the COVID-conscious). I asked the waiter which tacos were the most popular and he suggested one with tuna, one called la muñeca (I think) and the San Diego (chicken). The muñeca and taco with tuna were delicious - the meats were cooked perfectly and each taco was well-seasoned. The San Diego (chicken) taco, however, was a disappointment. The chicken was over cooked and dried out, and no amount of salsa could save it. The total bill came out to be closer to American pricing, but the food overall was good, so worth a try if you're in the neighborhood and willing to spend the money.

I planned a 40th bday weekend for a group of 30 friends all flying in from the states. José went above and beyond in helping me organize a private room, prix fixed menu, and all the amazing details that made the evening beyond special. They were accommodating beyond whats normal, and their attention to detail certainly made it the most memorable evening ever. Thank you Páramo and more specifically José for your thoughtfulness and excellence!!! Shout out to Juan Carlos for overseeing flawless service. Omg and i didn't even comment yet how delicious all the food and drinks were -- ten out of ten. COULD NOT RECOMMEND MORE!

Absolutely loved this place! It's upstairs an unmarked staircase but the main room has high ceilings and great natural light. The tuna tacos are phenomenal (and huge portions) and the mezcal drinks are great!

Hidden gem with excellent service and quality dining experience without being pretentious. The Mezcal cocktails were to die for and the ambiance was delightful. There were mostly locals there meaning that it's a bit of a secret local spot. If you're not sure what to order you can order different taco flavors and make your own sampler. The ingredients and presentation are quality.

A magical place with really delicious food, open late. The best thing we ate was the ceviche -- very fresh and large portion, can be easily shared (but I ate mine by myself with a taco...). Definitely check it out!

When Páramo is busy, don't let the wait time for a table deter you from eating here. Our party of four waited about 40 minutes for a table. Let me tell you it was worth the wait. While waiting for a table we were able to order drinks at the bar across the hall from the dining room. The drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the labios rojos. I. Any recall exactly what we ordered, but it was all flavorful, well prepared, and delicious. Go now!

Let me start by saying I had the best tuna ceviche ever. Wow. I could have eaten 3 portions. So fresh, so good, everything was amazing !!! This place is well hidden as you have to go upstairs to the restaurant to find it, and it gets crazy busy, as it should ! It is a sweet restaurant with great service, and they are very considerate of people waiting in line without reservations. Waited 45 minutes as was expected and killed time having some guacamole and delicious cocktails at the bar area. Trendy vibes and nice music, great for a date or an outing with friends. There are many regulars, saw staff greeting customers as if they were family. The food was nothing short of amazing. Fresh, lots of flavor, and overall just good ! The guacamole was simple and great ! Star of the show was the tuna ceviche. It was the best ceviche I've ever had in my life as mentioned above. The tacos were delicious, but the tuna one was my favorite ! A lovely restaurant, I can't wait to go back !

Anytime I can be in another country and hear The Smiths "How Soon Is Now," playing while I eat...it's almost guaranteed that I had a good time. The rain almost stopped us from finding the restaurant on foot, but we made it and quickly walked upstairs to find a well lit, lively place. Service was attentive and the food was very good. I had (surprise!) TACOS. My reason for giving four stars instead of five is mainly because I've had more tacos throughout Mexico City that were half the price. The tradeoff is that sometimes you pay for atmosphere and a beautiful space, which Páramo certainly has.

Full of Americans. Service was lagging to the point we didn't get more tacos. Came to Mexico for a couple of weeks two years ago and went several times...world of difference between the two visits...it was much much better before. American tourists, keep coming!! The place is ruined already so make it worse with your visits.

It s a favorite of locals. At least that's both our tour guides told us. And we actually ran into our e-bike tour guide at the restaurant so that was a good sign. No reservations. So be prepared to wait for anywhere between 30-60 mins. They have a tiny bar where you can get some drinks while you wait. They have 3 different eating areas. On sundays they open at 7:00pm and open till 2:00am. It's in the Roma Norte section of the town. After ordering our food, we had to wait a while to get our tacos and unfortunately they arrived cold. I deducted a star for that. I got their pork shoulder based on the recommendation from the server and it was good. Also has the fried white fish tacos that was great if it was warm. I also got the chorizo tacos. Definitely stay away, the chorizo was dry and I almost chocked on it. It has spicy potatoes in it that gave it great flavor. I also got the shrimp ceviche and guacamole that was great. For me it ended up being 3.5 stars but if your food arrives warm, then it can be a 4 star place. Good mix of tourists and locals.

This place is a must go in mexico city. Fantastic energy and ambiance for a dinner or drinks. The guac was the best I've had so far in CDMX. We also ordered the ceviche which was spectacular and super well priced. Drinks were also beautiful and delicious.

Just skip it. Food and drinks are way below average. Service is just horrible. We were quickly seated into a cozy dining room, followed by poorly made ceviche, soggy and flavorless tacos, and the banana dessert was just a bad take on bread pudding.

The seafood was so fresh. The mezcal selection was good. Our server was great and very friendly. The only thing is that it's ver crowded.

I really really really wanted to love this place based on previous reviews, however there is truly no excuse for the poor quality of food. My friends and I waited more than 2 hours for a table, but I wont complain about that because it was busy. The tacos we ordered were not appetizing at all, and one of them had completely raw chicken (see photo). Me and my friend are sick with food poisoning. That being said, the service was decent and I really liked the ceviche.

Well we waited with no reservation for 30-40 min on a Tuesday night so show up early like 7pm when they open. tacos were very generously portioned. Try not to over order here. the Duck was amazing the Hibiscus too, we got the tuna and the wild boar( not so good) texture was on point drinks were great. I highly recommend this place as a do not miss for taco lovers.

We could've eaten here everyone of our 4 nights in Mexico City. The tacos were delicious - we tried so many it's hard to list. Highly recommend the mezcal cocktails....and a sampling of mezcals... Also, the service was sweet, setting gorgeous. Purpose spot to get marooned in a downpour!

Mexico City has some of the best food on Earth. Next time people are comfortable traveling again, please do you and whoever your with a favor and take your tastebuds to Paramo. This place is a culinary hotspot, serving up delicious tacos (meat, vegan, or otherwise) and cocktails that can keep you happy all night. The ambience and music is dope as well. Could go into detail why this is a must try, but really.. you must just go and try!

Echoing other comments about the bad service. The food is great but wow, very slow. Servers look frantic. Food came out BEFORE drinks. That is a first! Ever eaten a spicy taco with nothing to drink? Just kinda messy. Beautiful space with delicious, affordable food and drink.

Review for service only. We arrived at 8:45pm and was told it would be a quick wait. There was only one other person waiting by the hostess, so all seemed promising. Cue 45 minutes later, and all the staff running around like chickens with their heads cut off, and we checked in again - there were 11 groups ahead of us (obviously not disclosed when we arrived). On top of that, there was an endless parade of drunk, pushy hipsters entering while we waited. No one was communicated with and there was generally an air of confusion. We eventually left (after 50 minutes) and had amazing tacos down the road. Not worth such a douchey atmosphere when there's so much amazing food in CDMX.

Meh. Food is fine, drinks are watered down and service is trash, with the exception of one polite server. We left early, disappointed and annoyed. Skip it; plenty of places, with better ambiance, tacos, and staff.

This place is magic ! Absolutely beautiful atmosphere, brilliant hospitality & cocktails & the food was top shelf small plates, we sampled as much as we could & the tuna Ceviche was the best I've ever had. If this was my neighborhood everyone here would know my name.

Casual restaurant to visit in The city Condessa/ Roma neighborhood.Good food. Great ambiance. Friendly staff. Full bar.

Fantastic ambiance, very hipster. Order tuna ceviche, pork tacos and skip shrimp and fish tacos. Service is a little chaotic.

This was my second time here. The ambiance and the food are great. We went early on a Sunday night this time. Service was actually great! We didn't have the poor experience with service and wait time that others mention. The margaritas, ceviches, and casseroles are awesome and well-priced. Get the falling-off-the-bone muñeca casserole!

Great vibe - love their high window ceiling. Good mezcal cocktails and amazing tuna tartare!

Food: Amazing Drinks: Plenty Atmosphere: Chill and Fun Value: Prices are great Service: I'm happy with it. We did go at 7 when the doors opened. But it got packed quick in 30 minutes. I think they worked on their service. Very attentive, speak English and gave us great suggestions. My wife and I had a great chill date night.

This place has a good atmosphere and delicious tacos. The ahi tuna tacos were especially good when dressed with the salsas that are brought to your table. The place has a young crowd on average (25-40) and isnt too pretentious. The service was also great, I will definitely come back.

The food and the drinks were amazing. The interior design is very unique and it adds up to the experience. Everything in the menu was delicious, specially the tacos. Service was terrible, but it didn't really matter. The food and ambiance made up for it.

12 guests taken care of efficiently. Food and cocktails delicious. Small space that gets packed but great atmosphere and garden/jungle feel.

This is my favorite place in CDMX. Food is amazing, atmosphere is great. Get the pork tacos and the tuna ceviche. If you are with a group, the pork tacos can come out as a pork shank you pull from - so good :)

We ate here on a Sunday night. Mentioning this because apparently there's a huge difference in the level of service depending on what time you eat here, with better service during the daytime. Unfortunately, we learned that the hard way. Starting with the positive, the vibe and decor of this restaurant is magical. That made the poor service and mediocre food we were served that much more disappointing. People claiming to take food orders only later to find out they were never submitted, long waits for every course, a cold entre that was sent back and returned still cold, etc. The ceviche and the decor were the only bright spots. Truly disappointing experience.

This place was very trendy, food was great. Took off a star for being just as cold as the outside and they didn't have a heater or anything. Also they ran out of straws for drinks and I ordered a mojito, pretty hard to drink with out it. But the tacos were delicious got a variety tried almost everyone on menu. The chicken with the spread was my favorite taco, forgot the name. The sauces went great with the tacos. The Soup was an absolute favorite of the night, it was a light vegetable soup with local vegetables. ..wish I could have posted the video I have.

I hate to give this place a rating this bad, but we are sitting here approaching hour 4 and we don't have all of our food, yet alone our check. The food was great, but thoroughly spoiled by absent, avoidant and forgetful service. I'm all for a long dinner, but we had a round of food early on and then a three hour gap of no food and forgotten drinks. When our food finally came, it was wrong. We came here on a recommendation and wish we hadn't. The people to our right asked for their check 45 minutes ago. We are bonding on how terrible the experience has been. Maybe it's an off night for them, but we will be avoiding this place and recommended you do the same. There's plenty of others good food in this city.

Great spot, delicious interesting menu with a fantastic rotating specials menu! Tuna taco and ceviche dishes are a must try! And allllll the drinks are great! Highly recommend anyone to this place! Also the people working here are passionate and really care about the food and drinks. Second time coming from NYC that I came here within two weeks.

Walked through the non descript, secret door and up the stairs into a beautiful restaurant. Had a couple tacos, a salad and some wine. My favorite dining experience in Mexico City by far. Get a reservation because the place was packed around 11pm when I got there.

Tacos were a good size but pricey. It's a great date place and a place to drink but bring your money. The ambiance is great. Very colorful and retro chic. Would definitely recommend this place.

The service was horrible, the tacos came out cold and they forgot one of my tacos. The waiter kept saying its because it takes longer to make the fish taco. Long story short it never came out, tried to talk to the manager who didn't offer any sort of resolution, so I paid and left. The sad part is I live in CDMX and have gone there many times and it has progressively gotten worse. Never going back now and not recommending to my friends who visit.

The drinks are excellent. The food not so much. The Ceviche was wonderful but as far as the tacos they left much to desire. Overall the atmosphere is great. I would come back for drinks alone but not the food.

Terrible service. Don't know if the food is good because we waited at our table for 25 minutes without being acknowledged whatsoever before we decided to leave. On the way out, a server ran into my partner and spilled a tray of drinks all over him and didn't so much as acknowledge him or apologize.

Sensational tacos, great ambience! Can be a little bit crowded so try to reserve, via Facebook the most easy way to do it.

This place has beautiful interiors, but the worst service I have ever seen. We literally had to order a vodka soda four times before anyone could get it right. The owners should be ashamed of themselves, as this is absolutely embarrassing for them.
