Restaurante El Bajío

El Bajio delivers authentic Mexican flavors with quality execution, though the pricing significantly impacts the overall value proposition. The pork quesadilla was good, featuring proper cheese melt and seasoned pork, but proved quite expensive for just one piece, raising immediate concerns about portion-to-price ratios. The oxtail tacos were excellent - succulent and perfect with tender, slow-braised meat that demonstrated masterful preparation of this premium cut. The rich, deep flavors showcased why oxtail commands higher prices when executed properly, making these tacos the clear highlight of the meal. The carnitas 250g serving was delicious and appropriately portioned for 2-3 people, offering the authentic slow-cooked pork texture and flavor that defines quality carnitas. This dish provided better value through generous serving size and exceptional taste. The tres leches cake was amazing, featuring fresh strawberries and a lovely cinnamon taste that elevated this classic Mexican dessert beyond standard preparations. The perfect moisture balance and creative flavor additions made it a memorable finale to the meal. However, the restaurant's pricing at 40 euros per person is too damn expensive and almost unjustifiable given the portion sizes and local market context. While the food quality justifies premium pricing to some extent, the cost-to-value ratio makes El Bajio a difficult recommendation for regular dining.

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.
