"Riding the latest ‘cantina chic’ (oxymoron?) wave, the Capital does traditional Mexican fare with a gourmet twist. Try the chili-encrusted tuna or the duck enchiladas." Full review

"A childhood favorite like fideo seco (spaghetti-like pasta in chipotle tomato sauce) becomes a sophisticated appetizer here, creamy, delicate and prepared with the freshest chilies and avocado." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Nothing beats spending the afternoon in the ivy-covered terrace of this Condesa bar while sipping on a beer and snacking on their famous tuna tostadas. " Full review
