La Federal

This is a beautiful location in a quite neighborhood (Cuauhtemoc). The outdoor area is very nice and the chairs and couches are incredibly comfortable, and it’s pet friendly. The menu is typical Mexican cuisine. The waiters were all very nice (but most of them are afraid of dogs, haha). We ended up ordering the mandarin salad to start and then got a torta and meatballs for the entrees. The salad said queso de cabra on the menu but when it came out, it was queso fresco. Since we got the salad specifically for the goat cheese, we asked if they could switch the cheese. The manager came out and promised what they gave us was goat cheese and tried really hard to make sure we were not upset. He was very nice and we were not mad, but we also knew very much that a drier powdery cheese is not goat cheese of any kind. But we simply agreed with him and finished out salads. They were still very nice. The meatballs and torta con pierna horneada were both nice as well but nothing extremely special. The prices are a little high but it’s the cost of the atmosphere. If we go back, we would probably go for a cocktail instead of food
