VIA SOL

This is a small, unassuming restaurant in a quiet area, but it serves some of the best dumplings I’ve ever had—and I’ve traveled extensively throughout the Far East. If it were in New York or San Francisco, there would be a line out the door. We tried two types of dumplings—pan-fried and steamed. One variety was filled with Thai basil and a fantastic, flavorful mixture that was simply unforgettable. We also enjoyed a noodle dish that was excellent, and noticed the Dan Dan noodles at the next table, which looked amazing. The special eggplant salad, with a subtle touch of local Mexican vegetables, was an unexpected and delightful discovery. This is a true gem, run by a Chinese woman who clearly knows her craft and produces dishes of exceptional quality. This is not “fusion” cooking—it’s authentic Chinese dumplings at their very best.

Surprisingly eclectic and well-curated wine selection — a spirit that runs through the entire menu. The dumplings echo this approach: familiar yet elevated, with unexpected elements that make them feel fresh and contemporary. The space itself reminds me of emerging spots in Shanghai; even the atmosphere brings me right back. We tried all the dumplings and the tan tan noodles — I’d gladly have more if I could. Service was attentive and warm throughout. A spot worth returning to.

Wonderful, intimate experience. The dim sum & wine combo is brilliant, and we thought the way it had been put together was spot on. We came for food, and ended up staying late, chatting with other guests. It was one of those unexpected experiences that turns into a great memory. Thank you for facilitating it! We will of course be back.

The atmosphere here is pleasant and clearly geared more toward wine lovers than foodies. While the concept is interesting, the dumplings didn’t quite meet expectations — they’re quite small for the price, and the flavors felt underwhelming. It seems like the focus is more on offering a wine experience, but even the wine options are on the pricier side. Overall, it’s a nice spot to sit and enjoy a glass, but not the best value if you're coming for the food.

LOVE this spot! The dumplings are incredible - we also got the dan dan noodles which I could probably eat every day of my life. Amazing natural wine selection too, sourced from China, Mexico and Spain!

Me and my group had a fabulous time dining at Via Sol as a large group. We booked ahead of time via Instagram and they gave us a large space outside to dine. The wine selection was fun and interesting and they kept the food coming hot. We enjoyed dumplings, noodles, and scallion pancakes. They even helped us celebrate our happy occasion at the end of our meal with a small surprise. Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for an intimate fun time with some great food and service. Thanks again!

Such a lovely place with warm atmosphere and delicious food and wine! Very reasonable prices and great service!

Best dumplings in CDMX. Fairly pricey but the flavors are delicious. Iris was an exceptionally friendly and welcoming host (Shoutout to her!) Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because when we asked for the bill, it took us 30 minutes to get it. For a small "hole-in-the-wall" place, the process took longer than expected. Via Sol only opened ~7 months ago. I wish it the best of luck!
