Restaurante Castizo

One of the best culinary experiences of my life. My mom and I each had the tasting menu (everyone at the table has to do this if someone wants the tasting menu) and we were treated to 8 exquisite small plates. For being a "small" plate though, each was a decent size and by the end we were hardly able to finish we were so full. The tartare, crispy salmon (almost had me in tears it was so good, and the only one I didn't get a picture of), and oxtail were my favorites but each plate was incredibly done.

Loved the garlic sea bass here! Great taste and felt very fresh. They sent me a complimentary croquette and it had the right balance of crunch and taste. Appreciate my waiter Leo, provided great recommendations and summary of things in English.

I am really disappointed in this restaurant as it came highly recommended. First they would not let me do the tasting menu as they had a rule that the whole table needed to do it together. I don’t understand how this makes sense, if I came alone and would be able to try the tasting menu what is the difference if I am sitting at a table with others. I ordered three dishes, the squash blossoms which were good, the onion soup which was fine but way too expensive for the tiny bowl you get and the sea bass which was recommended by the waiter. The sea bass was basically just cooked in butter and was very expensive for something with not much flavor. My bill came to more than the tasting menu and I left hungry but did not want to order more as I was disappointed with 2/3 dishes I received. And to add to it the service was EXTREMELY slow we had to wait 15+ minutes just for someone to bring a menu after we asked and then again for the bill at the end it took them at least 20 minutes. The worst part was that I noticed after that the waiter added on a tip to my bill without asking???? Which should be illegal. They always ask here before adding a tip but he took it upon himself to choose how much we were tipping. Awful. Overall a poor experience I will not be returning.

Loved our dinner here last week. Sat streetside on a fairly quiet Sunday evening. Food was fantastic - we particularly enjoyed the croquettes, courgette blossoms and the picanha steak was superb. Our server made the evening really special. One of our best meals during our CDMX trip. Highly recommend.

Lovely restaurant and authentic Spanish tapas. Our waiter, Alfonso, was the best. Great recommendations, service, and attitude. The food was absolutely incredible and reminded me of my time in Barcelona. Highly recommend the PSA steak and paella dish. We’ll be back next time!

Had a wonderful dinner at Restaurante Castizo. The service was warm and attentive, the food was incredible and the portion sizes were ample for the price. The outside seating was dreamy. I highly recommend the bone marrow pasta and the zucchini blossoms in particular. I would definitely return!

Delicious breakfast. So good we came here two days in a row. With your order, definitely also ask for pastry basket! The croissants are amazing.

Squash Blossoms and tomato bread are a must! The selection of cheeses and meats was nice, but limited. The Octopus had good flavor but was unevenly cooked. The beautiful dining room was oddly laid out.
