An excellent experience. From the moment you arrive, the service is , fast and personalized. The food is freshly prepared by the chef. You must make a reservation because it's very busy at lunchtime. I went on a holiday.

We lived the experience of the Tasting Menu and you can see the Chef's passion for surprising with each dish, giving the value it deserves to basic ingredients but that do not disappoint. Friendly treatment and service, quiet atmosphere during the week. The wow factor is the desserts!

We tried the breakfast buffet. It was limited in options but tasty, with fresh juices and a family atmosphere. The only drawback is that in the heat, it feels quite humid—hot and a bit chlorine-scented. Otherwise, the service and atmosphere were good, with live music.

My family and I have rarely enjoyed a restaurant as much as we did at Mexko. The food is, without a doubt, absolutely exquisite. You can't miss the Cacao Filet; it's extraordinary. The dessert, "Without Corn, There Is No Country," is something I can't even describe other than original and delicious. The atmosphere is wonderful, inviting you to relax and enjoy. We were served by Isaac; we can't thank him enough for his recommendations, comments, and, above all, the excellent quality and warmth of his service. Thank you! Mexko is a wonderful project, for its support of producers, its customer service, and the quality of its dishes. If you're still wondering whether to come or not, stop thinking and come. You won't regret it. Everything is welcoming. Come, enjoy while you wait for the chefs to prepare those exquisite dishes. Congratulations to the entire Mexko team; they are wonderful.

I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation, the taste of the food, and the customer service. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxing, and everything was spotless. Congratulations.
