Barbacoa BOTURINI

78/100

🍽️Food85

Fonda Garufa

78/100

Fonda Garufa is a charming, well-located La Condesa institution celebrated for artisanal breads, fresh ingredients, and an excellent upstairs terrace with tree views. Food quality and service excel during off-peak hours and breakfast, but consistency falters during dinner and peak times (documented 25+ min waits for simple dishes). A strong rating is fair: solid on ambiance and breakfast, weak on reliability and value for higher prices. One contaminated water incident is isolated but noteworthy.

Pro tip: Beautiful terrace with fresh bread and great breakfast, but inconsistent when busy.

🍽️Food80

Generally known for fresh ingredients, artisanal breads, and egg dishes. Multiple diners highlight quality breakfast/brunch and homemade pastries. However, consistency issues emerge: some report mediocre visits, cold food, undercooked items, and portions varying by shift. Fusion menu (Mexican/Italian/Argentinian) works but can feel unfocused.

Bread is baked in place, fresh and delicious

👋Service74

Mixed but trending positive. Most celebrate staff friendliness and attentiveness; several note outstanding service. However, 2 explicit rude service mentions, slow service during peak times (25+ min waits for simple dishes), and isolated incidents (demanding extra tips, slow waiters) dampen the score. Service quality degrades noticeably when busy.

Service very slow, even by Mexican standards

Vibe85

Standout strength. Beautiful terrace upstairs with Jacaranda tree views, cozy atmosphere, charming Mexican decor in repurposed old house. Quiet, peaceful environment suitable for brunch, work, or relaxation. Downstairs less inviting. Dog-friendly. Garden room noted as lovely.

Beautiful terrace in the trees above the hustle and bustle

💰Value72

Expensive for what's offered. Multiple diners describe it as 'a bit pricey,' 'higher end,' or 'quite expensive' relative to portion sizes and quality consistency. Weekend buffet (450 MXN) and à la carte pricing generate mixed reception. Charges for bread (day-before leftovers) alienated some customers. Decent value only for breakfast specials.

A bit pricey, but fascinatingly tasty

Le Pain Quotidien

78/100

The bread is genuinely excellent—fresh-baked on-site, which makes the rest of the experience feel more frustrating. Service is unpredictably slow (15 to 45 minutes documented waits), food quality fluctuates, and cleanliness issues have been reported. It's worth visiting for pastries with coffee and nothing else; don't expect lunch reliability or consistency.

Pro tip: Come for coffee and a pastry, skip the full meal. Bring a book; waits are common even when the cafe looks empty.

🍽️Food76

Breakfast and pastries are the strength (bread, Belgian chocolate, crème brûlée celebrated repeatedly), but lunch/dinner items receive mixed reviews with complaints about bland seasoning, small portions, and inconsistent quality. Fresh ingredients mentioned 3x, but some dishes lack flavor.

Bread is their specialty, so the baguette was delicious

👋Service79

Outstanding service from named staff (Sandra, Ismael, Melanie, Rafael) appears frequently and truly (40x greatService mentions). However, 3 instances of rude service and isolated slow-service complaints, plus reports of staff appearing annoyed or inattentive. Overall positive but inconsistent by location/server.

She was very sweet & friendly

Vibe82

Well-regarded as peaceful, relaxed, quiet, and pleasant—first-rate for conversations, family gatherings, and couples. Comfortable seating, good decor (especially Mitikah location). Pet-friendly. Atmosphere is a genuine strength, rarely criticized.

Very peaceful, the surroundings relaxed

💰Value72

Breakfast packages (₱334/$18 USD) and set menus reasonably priced for casual dining, but portions widely criticized as small, especially for lunch/dinner items. 'Worth it for quality ingredients' vs 'overpriced for what you get' split evident; better value for breakfast/dessert than mains.

Portions are small, but it's very filling
