The restaurant which brought Mexican cuisine to the world food scene
This is one of our reasons for visiting Mexico City and we were not disappointed. Five stars for successfully blending tradition and innovation. Ingredients indigenous to Mexico were used and presented in a modern and creative way but nothing too abstract or pretentious. Just solid delicious food. While not all the dishes were exceptional, you can see and taste the work that came with each dish. Outstanding were the smoky baby corn starters with chicatana ants, the tlayuda (open-faced tortilla) with aged sheep cheese, truffles and ayocote and of course the nuevo and madre mole (3,335 days). While simply presented, the layers of flavors of the mole (sweet, tart, nutty, smoky, herbaceous, minty) underlie the laborious process of mixing more than 2 dozen ingredients to produce this symbol of Mexican heritage and gastronomy. We were invited to have our dessert in their outdoor patio. At first, I was disappointed the dessert was not its famous churros, but the refreshing soursop mousse was one of the uniquely memorable desserts I’ve ever had. To top off our wonderful meal, we were presented with their heavenly version of the concha with our coffee. The pricing (without wine pairing) is very reasonable, about half for similarly-rated restaurants in NYC and Europe. If you are expecting the Mexican food you have in the US, you will be disappointed. This is authentic Mexican food, very different from the one-note Tex-Mex we have here.

Pujol is a great choice for fine dining. There are three different menus depending on where you eat. I ate at the bar for the savory courses and then they moved me to the terrace for the sweet courses. The service was excellent as was the food. The meal was much more tilted to seafood than meat. If there is something you do not want or have an allergy, they will gladly change items on the set menu to accommodate you. Definitely worth a stop if you are in Mexico City.
Be the first to ReplyProduct doesn’t match the price
This restaurant is very classy and the staff are amazing. The food was better than average, but I felt like it fell far from the incredibly high price. I’m fortunate to be able to eat at many top rated restaurants around the world. This one, at nearly the equivalent of $450 (USD) per person out the door, has been among the most expensive meals I’ve had. I don’t usually mind paying for exceptional food, wine, and service, but I didn’t feel like this experience really delivered at its price point. It seemed like they were sort of trying to be a French Laundry kind of experience, but they haven’t nailed it. It took 3-1/3 hours for us to get through this experience. There were very long wait times between the small portions of the meal. Our table conversation commonly went to wondering what the backup could be in the kitchen. Our group got back to the hotel very late, which caused us to all have a rough morning the following day trying to keep the rest of our schedule on time. We were a group of 8 patrons. Our out the door total was nearly $3,600 (USD) or $61,000 (MX). For this price we should have had at least one, but probably two dedicated servers for our table. Instead, our servers were serving several tables and our wait times between courses and refills were very lengthy. Of the several courses of the meal, there were only two that were really good. Everyone in my group are very well traveled and appreciate a wide array of cuisines and most of our dishes left our table not completely eaten because the food was mediocre. There was no part of this experience that would make me suggest this restaurant to anybody. Conversely, I would encourage people to try other options that may be significantly cheaper and provide a much better culinary experience.
Be the first to ReplyLiterally so underwhelming, stupidly expensive, strange food with no course that stood out , service was fine
I waited for years to get a table and was shocked as friends took me who are real foodies and they were underwhelmed to put it mildly, overpriced and ordinary
Be the first to ReplyGreat restaurant to visit just once
Culinary experience that blends ancient techniques with modern gastronomy. Six delicious courses but a little overpriced in my opinion.
Be the first to ReplyMediocre food/experience. Stunning ambiance
My husband and I had this on our much anticipated visit to Mexico City and used it as our destination for our 10 year anniversary dinner We arrived and were welcomed warmly and brought to our table. The menu presentation and explanation was beautiful. From there, things just seemed a bit off. The service was hit or miss. Instead of being served in tandem from a specific side, we were served at random without explanation of the food until several minutes after food was dropped. The servers also seemed to be in a small argument over it but of the 6 courses 3 of them were served at different times from different sides by one person vs two. Seems particular but for a $700 usd meal I was hoping for perfect service execution. Next, the food. Here is where i wished for more as it wasn’t especially unique or outstanding (excluding the snacks, ceviche and dessert which were standouts). Snacks = fascinating tostada, mushroom soup and smoked corn. The snacks served were delicious, interesting presentation and complex mix of flavors. From there it went downhill. 1st course = snacks 2nd = scallop ceviche. This was varied and layered. Incredible melt in your mouth scallops. 3rd = tostada of some sort. Good, not great. The ahi tostada at Contramar blew this out of the water. 4th = rock fish with green sauce and fava beans. Fine, not bad. Nothing to write about. 5th = stuffed cabbage leaf and octopus. No real flavor. Bland and slightly overcooked. 6th = mole. The story of it being cooked 3364+ days is interesting however a plate with mole sauce only was really lacking. I wished for more. Dessert was a delicious cream, sorbet. Well balanced, interesting textures. Overall, not worth the hype. I wish I saved the money and went to Quintonil instead.

Incredible experience. Expensive but the food and service made it worthwhile. Every course was interesting and fantastic. Wish we could give it more than 5 stars.
Be the first to ReplyLess impressive and twice as expensive
We had dinner here back in 2019 and were very impressed. Being back in Mexico City, we wanted to visit again. This time, we were less impressed. All of the dishes we liked were ones we had previously had. The new dishes were...bland. The waiters were constantly taking the drink menus away, and we'd have to ask for them again to order something, which was somewhat annoying. I guess the priority was to keep the table clear. Anyway, this was nearly twice as expensive as our visit in 2019. We are probably done with Pujol, unfortunately. We have had our experience there, and will focus more on mid-range, more casual, dining next time.
Be the first to ReplyGreat anniversary dinner - and accommodating of a vegan diner!
This was my second time to Pujol and it was just as perfect as the first. This time I came for my anniversary. I'm a foodie, and my partner is vegan. It's always a challenge to see which fine-dining restaurants will adapt for a vegan diet. I'm happy to report Pujol went above and beyond to accommodate him. We did the bar seating, and they printed him a custom menu and ensured the level of dietary restrictions and reminded him of ingredients along the way - which was very appreciated because he is severely lactose intolerant. Also the famous mole is vegan - who knew?! I ate all the delicious meat and fish dishes, and we just had a great time, and they kindly celebrated our anniversary with them. I strongly recommend the drink pairing. I had a Mexican saki that I still think of near daily!!
Be the first to ReplyPerfect from beginning to end.
Ignore any of the reviews that dis this place. Both the service and the food were 10 out of 10. The ambience is also amazing. I have never had a bad experience at a Relais a Chateau restaurant . While pricey it was worth every peso!
Be the first to ReplyFood is decent but overpriced and the wine pours are MEAGER and expensive
We went to celebrate our honeymoon - it's been our list for a while. We would not go back - while the service was excellent, the food was just OK for the price, it was 15-20 minutes in between each course, and the wine per glass cost $20-40 and you received about 125-150 cl. One of the mains is a small plate of mole with a tortilla and another is a fairly bland pumpkin puree. We left unimpressed with the food and wine and at $450, the value is no longer there.

This is a Must try restaurant. The presentation, the staff, the food, its all beyond amazing. Clearly everyone who works here from the chefs in the kitchen, to the managers at the front door, the waiters .. loves what they do. There is an air of pride in giving the best food and outstanding customer service. The place itself is very charming. We would like to go again to Mexico City just to have another meal there!
Be the first to ReplyWOW
Best dining experience ever. Stuff were extremely friendly and personable. Fantastic service fantastic tasting menus.
Be the first to ReplyBeen there. Done that. Been done.
We had enough cocktails across the past several days so I opted not to have the $35 drinks I was thinking about while dining at the tacos bar. Our WATER came to $42. For water. The service is excellent. The setting it sleek and lovely. The urinal in the men’s room is next level. The food was good, albeit not anywhere close to the league of meals we have enjoyed elsewhere, including Quintonil, which is just blocks away, and in Paris and San Sebastián and more. I have no issue with spending crazy money for glorious dining. At $243pp for six small tacos and two small desserts, it would take something sublime to correlate with excellence. The octopus taco and the stuffed Brussels sprout taco were very good indeed, but how the sycophants rave makes no sense. Been there. Done that. This is a beautifully-choreographed assembly line that may well be churning out more profit than any other fine dining restaurant on Earth.
Be the first to ReplyFelt like a scam, they doubled the price and cut the offerings in half for 2023
Beware, they have changed the taco omakase menu in the last two months (as of 2023). It is smaller, does not include beverage pairings (which it used to for the same price), and does not include any well-known dishes like the street snacks or famous mole (but they did bring them the mole right past us to a nearby table, adding insult to injury). They didn’t even offer a beverage pairing but said they could suggest cocktails or wines for each course if you wanted (price to be calculated at the end of your meal so you couldn’t even know how much it would cost). Very bizarre and disappointing experience, especially after all of the hype and reading about the same menu that was offered as little as two months ago (for less money!). The food was fine, nothing really wowed us like we were expecting. The service was also fine but we felt somewhat ignored and in the dark compared to other Michelin restaurants we have been to. We have them written notice of some dietary restrictions (my wife is pregnant) many days in advance and they didn’t have any alternative dishes planned for us, they just left things off existing dishes. It felt like a paired down, casual version of a Michelin experience for the same cost. The restaurant would be wise to set expectations with diners that things have changed. An OpenTable message would have gone a long way. Instead, we felt like what we received was not worth the cost. We were very excited about this meal and were disappointed it did not include any of the things we expected. We honestly had a much better experience at 1/10th the cost (with the same or better level of refinement) at Expendio de Maiz Sin Nombre!
Be the first to ReplyWaste of (too much) money
Wow so disappointed by this tasting menu after all the hype regarding this place. Six of us dined, all originating from NYC. We are well traveled and know good food- and this is not it. Two of the 9 dishes were enjoyable (baby corn and pumpkin tamale (minus the overly pungent cheese on top). The rest ranged from average to tasteless, to disgusting and definitely not worth the $320 per couple price tag (US $). Atmosphere is nice, restaurant is pretty, service is impeccable, but would never eat here again and can’t recommend it. One dish consists of two different moles on a plate. Mole is intended to be a sauce, its much too intensely flavored on its own. And while strange tasting tortillas were included to use to dip, it wasn’t a dish- it was a plate of sauce and none of us enjoyed it. Can you imagine being served a plate of marinara sauce? Whole thing feels pretentious. Even dessert wasn’t good as it was tasteless. Can’t believe this is ranked in top 50 in the world. Save your money, theres much better restaurants in MC. We all agreed that dinner at Sud 777 was so much better and coat just 1/3 the price.

The most incredible dinning experience ever. Staff was hard working, kind and easy to talk with. Each dish was filled with textures and flavors that create the perfect recipe. Come hungry and enjoy each and every bite. A dinning experience that will live on.

By fate we got a reservation and totally loved Pujol. The service staff were impeccable, friendly, and top notch. It seemed like the whole dinning experience was a choreographed dance. The food was sensational.
Be the first to ReplyFantastic flavours and an unforgettable meal
I’m so interested to see the low reviews because this was one of the best culinary experiences I’ve had. From the l’enclume style wax menu opening to the extra desert offered for our anniversary I loved every second. We had the set menu and each course was better than the last. Quite simply up there with the best flavours I’ve ever tasted and personally can’t recommend enough.
Be the first to ReplyCome for the experience
Mexico City might be the gastronomic capital of the world, so eating well there is no surprise at all, and you may find great experiences at a fraction of the price you'll pay al Pujol. However, you'll miss the amazing experience of haute cuisine in one of the best restaurants in the world at a very reasonable cost. The care in the selection of the vegetables, and in the presentation of the dishes, is top notch. Lovely restaurant.
Be the first to ReplyFood was bad, service was good, overpriced for Mexico City - in line for EU / US fine dining
We had the Taco bar experience. The setting is beautiful Atmosphere was great Service was very good, they were attentive and friendly. However, we were not once asked how our meal was, and only once how each dish was (1/9), which is quite telling… Food (for me at least) was not good, although it was high quality ingredients, for me some dishes were unbalanced and had a single overpowering flavour (tacos with scallops and ginger tasted of one overpowering soapy herb - not sure what it was, peanut tacos just tasted of peanuts, nothing else). Out of the 9 courses, 2 were fantastic (Abalone Hurache and red lobster), a hand full were average/ nothing special. A few were really not to my taste (I left 3 dishes of the 9 and I am not a fussy eater). I noticed a lot of people around me (50%) left more than half of their Mole dish uneaten (supposedly their speciality), myself included. Perhaps my European pallet didn’t appreciate it but there were plenty of Mexican people around me also leaving most of their dish. We paid USD $500 including tip and 4 drinks. We ate at around 20 restaurants over the past few weeks across Mexico, from street food to other high end restaurants, this for me came out worst in terms of price to enjoyment ratio. But the service and atmosphere is great. If you’re not price sensitive and want to try one of the supposed top 50 restaurants in the world then by all means tick it off your list but for me it was a big disappointment given the overall quality of food I’ve eaten in Mexico over the past 2.5 weeks - which has been exceptional.
Be the first to ReplySave your money
I was excited that I had nabbed a reservation at this acclaimed restaurant. Service is respectable in a beautiful mid-century setting. But the food was a 7/10. There were a few dishes that scored a little higher, but nothing was mind blowing. Nothing tasted subtle. Nothing tasted complex. Nothing tasted special. There were several items in which an ingredient overpowered the dish. For example, the butter bean tacos with peanut butter tastes only like a peanut butter taco. The scallop taco with ginger and avocado had a a floral herb that took over the entire dish. I didn’t taste the scallop nor the avocado. Moving diners to the outdoor area for dessert is a nice touch, but it didn’t scrub me of my memory of my mediocre meal. This place did feel a bit like a scam.
Be the first to ReplyWorst scam in history
Went there with family with the hype and great reviews and listing on top of tje world I was surprised that the service was rude and bad, the food quantity was good for little infants not real human beings, the quality was also so bad no taste, has the lowest ingredients possible, we tried to get upgrade on the 1 ounce piece of tuna to blue fin and not amberjack, but we were told will change it only to snails?? Three hundred dollars a person for snails?? Scam also was drinks sparkling water cup was 20$ !!!! The sweats were half a bite of garbage ice cream It was the biggest scam If you are going there take snacks with you because you will not be getting any edible food there Oh my God the signature mole was a disaster flavor

This restaurant was highly anticipated on our trip to Mexico City. Reservations book out months in advance, but with some degree of planning are able to be made. The ambiance of this restaurant is stunning and in the beautiful Polanco neighborhood. Many of the servers speak some degree of English which was nice (we were easily able to speak a combination of English and Spanish with ordering). The food was mixed for us (some was to our personal taste, and others missed the mark). Overall, I am happy we treated ourselves to this experience.
Be the first to ReplyIt’s Changed (and not for the better)
We had the tasting menu at Pujol two years ago and could not wait to return. It ended up being the biggest disappointment of our entire trip to Mexico City. The tasting menu went from 10 courses with wine pairings to 9 courses with no wine pairings and only a $33 (USD) price reduction. The quality of the ingredients and combinations of flavors has also gone downhill. One course consisted of chorizo and octopus wrapped in an onion. If there truly was any octopus, you could not taste it over the strong flavor of chorizo and onion. To add insult to injury, they charged $10 for water which was not disclosed prior to ordering. Bottom line: save your time, palette, and money for somewhere else; there’s no shortage of better options in Mexico City. Note: first photo is tasting menu from two years ago and second photo is most recent visit in 2022.
