"This restaurant takes its name from a lowland region on the Central Mexican plateau that encompasses several of the country’s states, and is the international figurehead for a hotel group that has been in business for over half a century and has numerous ventures in the country. Split between several floors, it features dining rooms ranging in ambience from contemporary to others that are inter-connecting and boast beautifully preserved walls and open-brick vaulting. The up-to-date Mexican à la carte includes dishes such as “panuchos yucatecos” (stuffed corn tortillas), prawn “molcajete”, “huarache”, and sea bream with a green pepián salsa. The menu is well balanced and adapted to Spanish palates and includes perfect dishes that are always overseen by “las mayoras” – legendary Mexican women who ensure that the country’s traditional flavours are fully respected." - Michelin Inspector

Of the all dishes we had we enjoyed the panuchos yucateros the most. Great combo of refined beans and shredded pork. Excellent guacamole although perhaps a tad too salty. Cocktails were super too. Food was served at intervals which meant we could savour each dish before the next arrived. Service great. The restaurant was full but not noisy.

This franchise in CDMX has replicated it's successful style in Madrid with grace. The place itself is super well decorated, we always love the Mexican hospitality flavor brought to Madrid, and the quality of the service makes you feel like you are visiting a small part of México Our favs were tacos de langostino and panuchos with cochinita, but the rest of the menu was in a very upper side position Fair price vs quality relationship, considering the neighborhood Well done team Bajío

Excellent Mexican food, with top notch service. We got some small tacos as starters, a half salsa verde/half mole enchiladas which were perfectly balanced, and the dorada with pepian sauce, which was wonderful. We finished with a corn cake which was accompanied by a rum sauce. Great experience! We will be back.

I am Mexican living in Madrid so I always search for a good Mexican product. It is difficult to preserve the quality and the full flavors of Mexican gastronomy. And this place has successfully made it. Here I can find things that I cannot find in any place else like the “Empanada de plátano “ typical of the south of mexico, Fideo seco that is amazing of course I should mention the tacos and as a main course the Rape a la Veracruzana is a must so as the Mole de olla which is also very typical don’t forge to ask as a dessert for cafe de olla and pastel de elote . Congratulations to this amazing place in their first month and hopefully we go again very very soon

What a gem! Everything about our first experience at El Bajio was exceptional. The space is beautiful, serene and very comfortable. We ate early but when we left the restaurant was full and it still wasn’t too loud. The service was warm and professional, and perfectly attentive. Each dish we tried was expertly prepared, with a lovely variety of flavors and textures throughout. This is refined Mexican food at its best. Standouts were the carnitas tacos (melt-in-your-mouth tender, juicy and full of flavor), the pozole (they offer both a verde and a rojo version, served with a variety of add-ins like chopped radish and onion, oregano, adobo and fresh lime), the lubina (coated with a gorgeous spice mixture and presented whole before being filleted table side), and the huarache with solomillo (homemade masa base topped with puréed beans and perfectly tender meat). Instead of dessert (which is perfectly respectable), consider ordering another one of their delicious margaritas. We will be back again soon!

As a Mexican living in London, visiting Madrid, I have to say this is the best place to eat! I’ve been missing Mexican food and it tasted just like my grandma’s food! The portions were the perfect size: the service was amazing, very attentive and catering to each of our needs and wants. I understand people saying that it does not taste like what they expected, but please remember that what most of you know as Mexican food is actually Tex-Mex which does not resemble authentic Mexican food at all. The food was delicious, we had the mole, the guacamole with chicharrón and several of the “tacos” it was amazing and really tasty. I would definitely recommend it and he open to experience what actually Mexican food tastes like.

Spectacular! If you’re looking for an authentic Mexican food in Madrid, this is definitely the place. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive ensuring that every moment is special. The food surpassed by the exceptional quality.

I wanted to like this restaurant. Staff is very nice and service is good. The restaurant is beautiful: spacious and a great decor. The food was very disappointing. The tacos were extremely dry and lacking seasoning and sauce. Unfortunately I would not go back. It is also quite expensive.
