Azul

Como en todo lugar de la zona, hay que ponerse impertinente para que te asignen una mesa y te atiendan bien. De la comida y servicio ya se ha dicho todo, excelente!
Las enchiladas de jamaica y el tiramisu son absolutamente fabulosos.

Malo desde quien te recibe, los meseros malo el servicio la comida haciendo caso a la recomendación del mesero, mala elección lo que pedimos no fue de nuestro agrado solo el guacamole con chapulines !! Y las aguas frescas, de plato fuerte chichilo! … Sin palabras, enchiladas de hongos lo mismo lastima, pagar para comer mal !!!

Best food in Condesa! Loved this place. Great food and great mezcal. I went twice on my last visit to Mexico City.
I will be back!

Great food, great service, all backed up with a great list of destilados de agave, served properly, in jicaras. I came for the mezcal, I fell in love with the food. I’ll be back!

Hace mas de dos años que abrieron este restaurante sobre Nuevo Leon en la Condesa, y al dia de hoy no han evolucionado en absoluto.
El menú es bastante pretencioso y rebuscado, de entrada no entiendes los términos como de mosaico de camarones, si todos sabemos que hay un solo tipo de camarón, lo que hace la diferencia es la preparación y la cocción.
Los platillos son de mariscos, botaneros y tienden a ser un poco vegetarianos, en todo abusan del cilantro como presentación y el cocktail de calamar resultó muy insípido.
El restaurante esmuy bonito, cuenta con una terraza con mesa tipo privado como para 20 personas.
El servicio es muy bueno y amable, a pesar de que los platillos aqui son demasiado ostentosos para tan poco sabor.
Resulta bastante caro el lugar por las porciones tan raquíticas y desabridas que te dan en cada platillo, espero que mejoren esto ya porque ya tienen años con lo mismo.

He venido en varias ocasiones a este lugar y generalmente nunca me decepciona, cuenta con una vasta carta de bebidas (aguas frescas, cócteles, vinos y licores) en su mayoría nacionales y artesanales, según sea el caso. Las entradas son mi hit, si vas con varias personas te ayuda a calmar el hambre con estilo, de mis favoritos los panuchos y los tamales de frijol, me encantan sus festivales de los estados, siempre dan buenas opciones y los postres son una delicia. El ambiente y decoración del lugar te invita a sentirte cómodo y a disfrutar una buena comida. Conviene reservar para que te den una mesa en el centro, donde hay más luz. El personal es muy amable, piden tu carro ya que tarda en llegar, por ejemplo. Un buen lugar para ir con extranjeros.

We were in the mood for a good traditional Oaxacan mole and Azul Condesa was recommended to us. The restaurant is in a great location and is easy to find. And the restaurant is clean, modern, and comfortable.
The first thing we noticed at Azul Condesa is that the menu is extensive: It features all their standard fare and then offerings by a guest chef. The menu changes up frequently, which I like because it gives them the opportunity to experiment with traditional Mexican dishes. A I had the salpicón de venado as an appetizer, which is a shredded venison served chilled. My wife ordered tortilla soup, which was very creamy and not particularly spicy (I prefer picante while my wife is a wimp). For our main course, we shared a bunuelos rellenos de pato. It was a Oaxacan dumpling filled with pulled duck and covered in black mole sauce. It was very interesting although the mole was rather sharp and distracted from the flavor of the roast duck. We decided to skip desert at Azul Condesa and headed straight to Crepes and Waffles since there aren’t any locations in the US.
Azul’s ambiance was nice: casual-​plus, comfortable seating, not too many tables, and a combination of modern and tradition décor. It is a great setting for date night. We sat near the open kitchen, which made our location somewhat warmer and louder than the other tables, however. The service was attentive but not overwhelming, and there was no pressure to vacate the table for other customers. If I had to dock Azul Condesa a half point, it would be on the variety of moles. As this restaurant was a Oaxacan cuisine, I expected a lot more moles and it seemed to only feature the black style the evening we went.
I definitely give Azul Condesa a solid 4 points. The prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. The restaurant was comfortable and had a lot of menu options. The atmosphere was definitely welcoming and the service was quite good. Azul’s food was prepared freshly and well presented. If you are near Condesa, I’d definitely recommend having a meal at Azul.

Soy muy fan del Azul Histórico pero probé en el Condesa y… les juro, no es lo mismo. Creería que sí, pero dejó mucho que desear.
El lugar es muy bonito y sí, hay un ambiente más ¿elegante? no sé describirlo. Tal vez la palabra es «mamón» (perdón pero es que sí se nota una diferencia con el Histórico). Pero la comida demerita; en momentos, carece de sabor.
Tuve la suerte de ir, durante el festival de moles, a los dos restaurantes. Pedí lo mismo y el mole en el Condesa estaba un tanto reseco (sí, así estaba). Mi acompañante pidió una sopa de flor de calabaza y la verdad, no sabía a nada. Fue un tanto decepcionante, más para mí, que soy muy fan del otro restaurant.
Desconozco si esto lo hacen porque no quieren hacer una experiencia «picante» a los turistas que van al Condesa, pero al menos a mí, sí me dejó mal sabor. Igual que los desayunos en tooodos los Azul.
PD: mejor el Azul Histórico.

My review is strictly from a vegetarian point of view. My husband and friend absolutely loved the food they ordered here. However, there are not too many vegetarian options here. Thus, my average rating.
I didn’t know that chips/​salsa/​guacamole is a very American thing. So when I sat at Azule, I asked them if they had any chips/​salsa or guac. I am sure the waiter was thinking ‘Oh these Americans’…lol. But they do have guacamole here, but it comes with grasshoppers. We asked them if they could put the grasshoppers on the side, which they did. This way I was able to eat the guacamole too.
They had some vegetarian soup that I had. Unfortunately, their online menu is in Spanish, so I am not sure what it was.
If you are a vegetarian, you may not be too excited with the food options here. However, if you are a meat eater, definitely go here and eat your money’s worth.

Excellent restaurant with a great Mexican menu. Tasty regional dishes and great service.
i sat upstairs on the patio and enjoyed a delicious meal al fresco. I had the venison leg and it was absolutely delicious. I will definitely go back again,

Not worth it. After some amazing meals at other nice restaurants in the neighborhood we were expecting another great experience. Not only was it much more expensive (~$ 1,600 Pesos for two entrees and two drinks and dessert) the food was average at best. Service was great, but that was the only redeeming quality. Seems like they really try to get the gringo dollars, but don’t believe the hype. Locals wouldn’t eat here.

It was… An OK meal. Honestly was a bit of a let down since most of my friends and the reviews I’d read were saying this place was great. It wasn’t the case for us.
I went for dinner with my wife and in laws and nothing really stood out. Flat taste from the entrees to dessert. All around a less-​than-​satisfactory experience.
Why 2 stars? The margaritas I had were very decent… Although I wouldn’t suggest you come here and pay what I did just for the drinks. Not worth it.

I attempted to visit this spot because of the reviews. My party arrived at about 9pm on a Monday evening, as we entered we were asked if we had a reservation. We’re visiting from San Diego, it’s a weekday evening I assumed getting a table would not be a problem. The young man who greeted us arranged a table that would seat everyone in my party. Then he was intersected by the head waiter. He said we would have to wait 30minutes due to lack of reservation. He suggested we wait at an adjacent bar (they do not have a waiting area). He jotted our phone number down and said he would call when our table was ready, we decided to return 30 minutes after. we were then told that our wait time was extended because we had left (wtf) this entire time the table that the original waiter set up for us remained empty. customer service SUCKS!!!

El sentido ritual, el respeto y las historias que Azul cuenta acerca de los Chiles en Nogada… Felicidades, Gonzalo Serrano y Ricardo Muñoz Zurita. Lo llevaron a otro nivel. Chiles en Nogada con mayúsculas señoriales. Y gracias Aura, por elegir este recinto para mi cumpleaños, siempre septembrino.

Los precios no se corresponden con la calidad, la comida aunque de buen sabor siempre llega fría y las porciones me hicieron llorar de hambre. $ 200 es su menú económico dentro de la UNAM, pa que te sientas en la Ibero!

Si pudiera le daría 4.5. El segundo mejor restaurante de comida mexicana que he probado. Uno de los 4 restaurantes exitosos del chef Ricardo Muñoz Zurita.
A un precio razonable pero no precisamente bajo y en una atmósfera muy relajante y amena, pero que se puede tornar calurosa y ruidosa si es que se llena el lugar, es recomendable hacer reservación con buena anticipación para Azul condesa y Azul histórico si es que se quiere asegurar un lugar y además uno cómodo.
En Azul, el principal objetivo (además de proporcionar deliciosa comida y muy atento servicio) es la promoción de la comida verdaderamente tradicional mexicana, mediante investigación gastronómica se rescatan y adoptan platillos para el menú que forman parte de la mismísima esencia de la cocina tradicional mexicana, tan tradicional que es fácil que algunos de los platillos resulten ajenos a lo que estamos acostumbrados, pues nos pone en contacto con una parte de la cultura ajena a incluso un mexicano. Y para eso mismo están los meseros con un conocimiento tan claro y bien transferido de absolutamente todos los platillos que resulta difícil creer que no sean chefs ellos mismos.
Añadido a todo eso, es imposible acabar de conocer todo lo que Azul tiene para ofrecernos gracias a sus festivales, en donde el chef invita a chefs habilidosos cuya especialidad es la misma que en Azul, pero enfocada en una región específica, y esto sucede a lo largo de todo el año. En mis 2 visitas tuve la oportunidad de probar 3 menús diferentes con sólo 2 semanas de diferencia entre cada visita. El menú tradicional de Azul, el de el festival «Guanajuato sí sabe» con la chef invitada Mónica Solís, y en la segunda ocasión el festival de «Sonora» con la chef Alma Cervantes Cota de invitada.
En resumen, Azul es el perfecto ejemplo de lo que es la cocina tradicional mexicana, un infinitamente vasto universo de posibilidades y oportunidades culinarias por descubrir y explorar al alcance de quien así lo desea. Definitivamente lo recomiendo.

Deliciosa comida y un excelente servico. ¿Qué más puede uno pedir?

Wonderful
Must get the guacamole with grasshoppers
Crazy great
Loved everything.

¡Me encanta el Azul! su ambiente, su terraza, su comida, su ubicación extratégica entre Amsterdam y Tamaulipas jaja. Fui a comer invitado por mis tios mexicanos y pasé un rato muy agradable. Estaba un poco tocado del estómago debido a mi insconsciente temeridad de haber comido sushi en un tiangui en la calle hace 2 días…Así que pedí menú de enfermo: sopa de pollo, filete de róbalo con arroz blanco (para aquellos carnívoros ignorantes, ¡sí, es un pescado! Riquísimo por cierto y blanquito… te sienta genial cuando estás mal) y de postre tarta de manzana con helado de vainilla! Vamos… menú anti diarrea post-​intoxicación-​por-​comer-​de-​calle. Y un té negro bien reposado. Todo perfectamente emplatado con una excelente presentación. Un must de condechi.

This is a fantastic beautiful restaurant in the Condesa area of Mexico City. I had a wonderful dinner her with my Mother and her friend. Fantastic appetizers, entrees, desserts and cocktails. Expect to pay about $ 40-​$ 50 per person for an incredible meal, including drinks. The restaurant was beautiful and elegant. The menu was fantastic. On the day I was there a guest chef from Campeche was offering an alternative menu. I had the sea snails, which I’ve never had before. It was excellent. There are other nice restaurants in Condesa and in Polanco, but this is probably one of Mexico City’s best and most elegant restaurants.

This place was nice, i would even say «fancy». And the prices were a bit higher than surrounding restaurants, so my expectations were high. We just got appetizers and drinks and desserts late on a saturday night. The guacamole was NOT good. It tasted exactly like what you get in many mexican restaurants in the states — like it came from box made by Sysco foods. It looks like guacamole, but strangely tastes like tangy green whip.
The red wine was good, the coffee was really bitter and awful. We shared 3 desserts: Tiramisu, Tres Leches, and (something…) Zapoteco. The tiramisu was very excellent, among the best I’ve had. Not to sweet, not to squishy, just right. The Tres Lechs was meh. The cake wasn’t fabulous and the rummy eggnog they poured on it was just okay. The Zapoteco dessert was… interesting. The «cream» chunks were fairly bland, but the plum sauce on top was great!
Overall this place was fine. I wouldn’t go here again, there are so many better options in D. F.

After having this on my list of restaurants to visit, I finally got around to it after nearly 3 years. Definitely should have gone sooner! Great environment, service and food at a really reasonable price.
When we sat down, I did a little mezcal tasting which was incredibly fun. Great start to the meal. I ordered a tamarind margarita which was good, but not amazing.
The menu was pretty big and I had a hard time choosing. There are about 15 chile rellenos alone to choose from, which was surprising. I decided to start with the cream of squash blossom soup and have a chile relleno for my main. That was amazing, and great presentation, too. I picked the lobster stuffed chile relleno for my main. It was good, but a bit too vinegary and cold for my liking. I know chile rellenos are often room temperature, but this was literally cold and I wasn’t expecting that. Still, it was interesting and I ate it all, so clearly it was tasty.
For such a great dinner, with appetizers, mains and drinks for my husband and I, I think we spent less than 800 pesos. Not a bad deal for a dinner that felt pretty special.
Oh! They bring some little candies with the check… The coconut one was fantastic’

The décor and ambiance at Azul stood out more than the food. The blue and white dishes were particularly striking against the sea green glass tables. We sat in a bright sunny room with a clear ceiling and a vertical wall garden.
A server came by several times with a bread basket of croissants, pain au chocolat, and more. We found out when the check arrived that the bread wasn’t complimentary. Each piece cost us 22 pesos. Oops.
I ordered quesadillas with beef stew (115 pesos) and tea (45 pesos). The quesadilla was dry and unmemorable. The tea was served beautifully in a green ceramic pot on a wooden plank, but the tea bag was not very strong.

Walked in around 8:30 or so on a Saturday night and expected to wait a bit given the restaurant telling me on the phone that there were no available reservations, but we were immediately seated.
Once seated, the service was fantastic. The wait staff was friendly and attentive.
The décor was nice, but not quite as beautiful as I hoped given the photos on Azul’s website (I assume the Azul Historico location is more beautiful).
The food was good, but not great. There are a number of salads and overall the menu works well for vegetarians if there are any vegetarians in your party. The highlights were the chicken mole and hibiscus flower enchiladas. Slightly disappointing was the tortilla soup. The menu described it as one of the restaurant’s signature dishes, but it wasn’t anything spectacular, and I was sorry not to have tried any of the more interesting looking dishes.
Wine selection is good
Overall, while this restaurant is on the higher end of price for Mexico City, you end up paying noticeably less for a restaurant of its level than you would in the US or Europe.

Talvez mi expectativa era muy alta. La cochinita es buena pero nada del otro mundo, acompañada de frijoles hervidos muy simples sin sazonar, las salsas no pican, son para turistas. Agua de jamaica no muy dulce, rica.
No entiendo que una sopa de flor de calabaza en DF cueste más de 100 pesos, es un abuso por más rica que esté, pero en fin habrá quien lo pague.
Las tortillas son o parecen recién hechas y son ricas.
El postre espumoso (entiéndase mousse) de mamey está rico. café americano bueno a secas. El mobiliario es muy sencillo pero funcional.
No me tocó terraza pero se ve agradable.
Mi opinión: bueno para que turistas conozcan una versión un tanto estilizada y cara de la comida mexicana. O comidas de negocios para impresionar a clientes.

Today I had a business lunch at Azul Condesa and it was fabulous. This is my first visit to the restaurant and I enjoyed the 3.5 hours long lunch. The Mezcal tasting was out of this world (I’ve never had Mezcal before). My cream squash flower was delicious and the presentation very appealing that was obligated to take a photo. For main course I ordered Mole Negro, it was yummy! But!!! The best part was dessert, Espuma de Guanabana it was out of this world. My guests and coworkers had some fantastic choices as well. The atmosphere was very good, not too loud that we were able to hold business conversations with ease. I’m definitely coming back. Another great restaurant in Mexico City.

Un restaurante increíble. Sabores mexicanos de verdad, y cocinados con muchísimo cariño. Tienen una buenísima selección de mezcales, y nunca hay que perderse sus especiales (y aún mucho menos cuando es temporada de chiles en nogada). Ya he ido cinco o seis veces, y siempre descubro algún platillo nuevo. El guacamole con chapulines espectacular.

We ate at a number of fantastic restaurants while visiting Mexico City, however, Azul Condesa was very memorable. The setting is gorgeous, with an area in the back that feels like a garden. It is upscale but not pretentious and the crowd was very mixed with all sorts of people. Some great people watching occurred!
The waitstaff was just lovely. They were able to provide menus in English which was very helpful as their menu is exceptionally unusual and unique. I wanted to try everything on the menu. Also interesting is that they bring in visiting chefs and offer special menus on top of the regular menu. This made it even harder to choose!
First, I had to try a tamarind margarita and it was devine. For an appetizer, two of us shared the tortilla soup. The presentation was stunning and the flavors were out of this world. Highly recommended.
Next, I ordered the black chichilo mole sauce (I have NEVER seen this on a menu before… it is an ancient recipe made with the ashes of the chichilo chile). This was an unusual dish. I chose to have it served with venison leg (other options were beef or venison steak). The meat was excellent. I also loved the unique, smoky taste of the sauce. However, it had an unusual grittiness to it as it is made with ash.
We also tried the «rice a la tumbada» of the visiting chefs fantastic menu… it was rice with fish, crab, shrimp and octopus seasoned with 12 year old achiote spice and cooked in parchment paper. Both main dishes were superb and like nothing we have ever tried before.
For dessert, we had tea and the dulce de leche cake, which was rich and sweet and alcoholic! Lovely way to end a perfect meal. I truly wish I had a bigger stomach so I could have tried more of the wonderful sounding dishes. We will be back!
And on top of it all, while expensive for Mexico, coming for NY this was an unbelievably priced meal. With a generous 20% tip, the bill came to $ 100 US dollars total. This restaurant should be in all the guide books!

Veo que tiene muchisimas reseñas y que bueno. Gonzalo y Ricardo supieron hacer sociedad y llevar el concepto original desde la UNAM hasta las diferentes locaciones.
Tortillas hechas a mano, una buena selección de bebidas y mezcales (que no se pueden pedir en la sucursal de CU) y platillos muy probados, además de una carta por temporadas (en esta ocasión está la de Chiapas).
Todo siempre es bueno aquí, si algo, no pidan el postre llamado Nicuatole, es nivel avanzado. No es pet friendly, las bicis están sobre Nuevo León. Mucho turista.

Azul Condesa was my first choice for dinner in the Mexican Capital since I’d read rave reviews and my partner was also impressed having eaten here last year. He also felt it was in the top 5 restaurants he had experienced around the world and around the United States. It was marvelous!
Azul Condesa has seasonal menus as well as standard menu items. The Autumn Menu celebrated Tabasco. Since we were going to return next week I decided to order from the Autumn menu as did my partner.
We started with appetizers. Despite my rather bad luck with restaurant tamales, I decided since I was in the heart of Mexico to give it a try. Beef Manea. Yum! My partner had the taquitos. We of course cross sample our orders and both were excellent.
For the entre I had the Christmas Stew, a blending of pork with shredded turkey in a wonderful spicy sauce. My partner had the duck. The stew was excellent without the benefit of root veggies (most commonly found in American stews.) That is to say that the dish was strictly meat with no vegetables. My partner stated that it was the best duck preparation he had ever had! I wish I could describe the sauce — you had to be there.
Dessert was the Floating Pancake — something reminiscent of a flattened (but puffy) angel food cake above a cinnamon milk delivered in an «old» miniature pot served chilled. I equated the milk mixture with horchata. A nice dessert but not spectacular.
Something to consider when dining in foreign locations. Don’t expect the type of food prepared and served in the US to be the same in another country. I would recommend reading the menu carefully and asking questions. Despite the fact the stew contained no vegetables, it was delicious and the portion was more than generous! There was bread served which provided a nice complement to the stew.
Side note: the employees noted that I didn’t speak Spanish (my partner does) and they provided me a menu in English while my partner’s was in Spanish (given that he had been conversing with them in their native tongue) — very thoughtful. Of course this is rare in most restaurants.

Three of us (all American women, one of whom lives in DF), went to Azule Condesa for our first dinner in the city. A lovely, slightly adventurous meal (cricket guacamole, anyone?) started with an amuse bouche of sugared hibiscus flowers and a hibiscus margarita for me. The guacamole was great and the chopped crickets added a nice salty crunch. My companions had an amazingly bold mole with a strong top note of coffee. I enjoyed a perfect squash blossom cream soup followed by a sea bass with capers and lemon sauce. The fish was slightly undercooked which was the only real misstep in the meal.
The bill was delivered along with a little coconut sweet for each of us. Another nice touch.
Overall, a terrific dinner. So, why the three stars? Because of the shakedown by the servers for additional tip.
We paid in cash and included a tip of slightly over 10% on the total bill including tax — a standard in Mexico City. Our server apparently felt that, as Americans, we should tip as we would at home so he came to the table and told us that our tip wasn’t enough — that it was «low» and «the minimum». It was incredibly awkward and marred an otherwise nice evening.
*EDITED TO ADD NEW INFORMATION: Since writing this review, we had dinner at Pujol where the hostess is a friend. We discussed the situation with her — not wanting to make a mistake with the tip again — and learned that 15% is standard and expected. We had been operating on tipping information provided by Trip Advisor. While we were wrong, the waiter’s approach to the situation was awful (he spoke excellent English so it wasn’t a language issue). If he had come to the table after we paid the bill and asked if there had been anything wrong with the service, we would have known we’d made a mistake and corrected it. Instead, we were made to feel pressured and like we were being taken advantage of.

Gran experiencia, desde el servicio hasta los plantillos, lo único por mejorar, el pan y las bebidas. Compartimos varios plantillos para probar. Un chile en nogada fabuloso, unos buñuelos de pato y mole con zarzamora deliciosos y un pipian con alcaparras que levantan mucho su sabor.

La carta es de mis preferidas, he probado casi todo y todo me sigue gustando muchísimo. Nunca fallan, la atención es buenísima, la calidad de los productos es de primera, el sabor de sus platillos es delicioso, el y el buen playlist que sale por las bocinas hace que te acompañe buena música mientras comes.
Le pondré una estrella menos porque las últimas 2 veces que he ido el baño de mujeres ha estado sucio (así como de baño de carretera de antes) y eso demerita mucho la imagen de un buen lugar.

Expensive but worth it. Really good service, delicious delicious food. I had the chile en nogada (the less sweet pork one) with the savory sauce. It was delicious. A little cold — I know it’s supposed to be room temp but this was a little cold. I wish tiny waters weren’t 37 pesos (almost as much as a glass of wine!), but really a beautiful and elegant spot

Comida Mexicana, muy buena carta de vinos, un poco chico, contrasta con una muy buena comida, bo dejen de probar el guacamole con chapulines, carta de Chef invitado, este mes Chiles en Nogada mmmmm mmmm, buen servicio

We came here for my brother’s birthday, which was on Valentine’s Day. Despite the major mix up when my friend tried making reservations for 3 (they kept repeating back «seis,» No, «tres,» «seis?» «no, tres,» and so on,) so when we arrived, they were a little baffled by our party of 3 and did a little scramble to make the 6-​top a 3. Once we were seated, however, the delightful experience began. None of us are native Spanish speakers, but that posed no obstacle.
For our appetizer, we split the bunuelos de pato con mole, which was really lovely. We each ordered something from the Festival de moles y pipianes menu. I had the pipian verde with camarones, my companions each opted for one of the mole negros over filet de res. Everything was amazing. Our cocktails, too were delicious.
We also ordered dessert and my goodness, as full as we were, it wasn’t with regret. I have nothing bad to say about anything. From the atmosphere, to the food, to the prices, everything was wonderful and I’d love to go back next time I’m in DF.

Si se quiere buena comida tradicional mexicana sin experimentos extraños y pretenciosos, lo mejor es ir alguno de los restaurantes «Azul», ya sea el Azul Condesa reseñado, el Histórico, o el original en la U.N.A.M. El cocinero Ricardo Muñoz Zurita es primordialmente un investigador gastronómico, por lo que suele incorporar a la carta platillos típicos olvidados, la cocina de pueblos mexicanos, y la mezcla de éstos para lograr en mi opinión uno de los mejores restaurantes de la Condesa y del D.F. Dependiendo de la fecha incorpora festivales de comida de Veracruz (su tierra natal), Oaxaca, Puebla o Yucatán. En septiembre no pueden perderse los Chiles en Nogada, ya sean en salsa dulce salada o mixtos.

Estuve por aquí en una de las escalas «no deseadas» en DF (básicamente por que nos cancelaron el vuelo) pero intente hacer lo mejor del incidente y llame a uno de mis colegas que ahora viven en DF para irnos a cenar.
El lugar lo escogió el, habíamos quedado en la zona de la condesa y me dijo que había un nuevo sitio por ahí que estaba muy bueno, al no conocer demasiados sitios en DF me deje llevar.
Es un restaurante de comida mexicana y es super chulo, nada más entrar a la derecha tienen la zona donde elaboran las tortillas y de más, la decoración es bastante moderna pero con toques muy mexicanos.
Al ver la carta decidimos picar de varias cosas para probar más entre los dos, de lo que probamos fue: Panuchos de cochinita pibil, tamalito de chaya, tamalito de frijo y para nuestra suerte era la época de los chiles en nogada (que son pimientos rellenos cubiertos de nata y granada) estaba buenísimo todo!
El servicio era excelente! y muy amables al preguntarles sobre las comidas, que pedir y demás. El precio no es bajo, más bien tirando a medio pero más que lo vale.
Si estais por la condesa (Que es un sitio genial para salir de fiesta) no dejéis de pasar por aquí.

This was recommended by Martha Stewart (shrimp dish), Bön Apetit (hibiscus flower enchiladas), and 3 Perfect Days (chile en nogada). With three recommendations, and three different dishes to order, I knew I had to try it. The place was smaller than I expected so I guess I was lucky to get the reservation. Our waiter’s English was just ok and we managed to order. The best dish was the main I ordered: Shrimp Pipian. The shrimp were perfectly done and the sauce was the perfect consistency and flavorful. My friend also liked her dish. I was very good! We were adventurous and ordered a Mexican dessert and were not enamored (cubes of something in a chocolate sauce). The two appetizers we ordered were non memorable (ceviche and some lettuce thing). At the end they were great about getting me to my driver who was ordered from my hotel.

Primero vino Azul y Oro dentro de la UNAM. Después muchos festejamos la apertura de Azul Condesa, donde aparte de servir la comida ya conocida en su ubicación original podrían servir alcohol. Finalmente llegó Azul Histórico. Estos son los tres restaurantes de Ricardo Muñoz Zurita, uno de los cocineros e investigadores mexicanos más reconocidos.
La comida es estupenda la mayor parte de las veces. No sólo los platillos del menú habitual como el salpicón de venado o sus moles, sino también los festivales que realizan a lo largo del año son fabulosos.
El único problema de este lugar es que llega a flaquear cuando el chef tiene su atención en otro lado, como cuando inauguró Azul Histórico. Puede que te toque alguna carne sobrecocida o que debas regresar un plato a calentar. Sin embargo, eso pasa muy pocas veces. La mayor parte del tiempo comerás como rey.

¿Crees que haber probado los mejores sabores de la cocina Mexicana? Porque si no has visitado Azul Condesa, no solo la comida es muy rica, una casa en la Colonia Condesa fue adaptada para dar cobijo a este restaurante y desde luego al sazón de Ricardo Muñoz, que está por demás decir que es un experto en la gastronomía mexicana.
Como dato curioso, los orígenes de este lugar se remontan en una de las facultades de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, más tarde nace Azul Condesa y Azul Histórico, en el Centro del DF.
Con una diversa variedad de platillos mexicanos, una terraza increíble junto con su decoración y un excelente servicio, Azul Condesa se ha vuelto uno de mis lugares favoritos, así como la inigualable sopa de Tortilla o la cochinita pibil.
Los precios de los alimentos están entre los 200 y 250 por persona, cuentan con una carta dedicada a vinos, también puedes encontrar las tradicionales como el tequila o mezcal 100% mexicano. Lo encuentras abierto de lunes a sábado de 9:00 am a la 1:00 am y los domingos de 9:00 am a las 19:00 horas. Este establecimiento cuenta con servicio WiFi.
Tip: No dejes de probar las enchiladas de Jamaica, son una delicia.
