Great food for a good price! Their chicken is tasty, you can choose between 3 types of chicken seasoning, more or less spicy. The horchata is also very good. Also, super nice staff and agradable terrasse.
Best burrito (tornillo) I've had in Mexico City, by far. However, the portions were a bit small for the price and they did not include any extra salsa despite the notes left in the order. Despite that, for flavor alone I'm gonna give 5 stars. Please give out at least one cup of salsa for your burritos, the pico guacamole is good but some extra chile is required!!!!
Pollo Bruto is so delicious! We had the red and yellow chicken with frijoles, esquites y arroz. Everything was amazing, especially their house made sauces. The service is also fantastic. We are learning Spanish and the staff were helpful and very patient with our efforts. We really had a wonderful evening. We enjoyed the restaurant so much that we decided to order our Christmas dinner from them. I highly recommend this place!
Best chicken caldo I've ever had in my life! Wings were very spicy but delicious too.
What an outstanding experience this was! I had the fried chicken burger, a side of fries and two micheladas. I’m smiling like a kid. Their salsas and taste is just something I’m looking forward to experiencing back again when I’m back in the Concrete Jungle aka CDMX. Extra kudos for a carefully curated and well put playlist!
Probably my favorite spot. The chicken is incredible, the beans are delicious, the rice! And the flour tortilla is incredible. Love the vibe of the place too. The chicken sandwich and breakfast burrito were pretty tasty but I definitely prefer the chicken!
Top tier restaurant food quality in a casual and convenient setting. You can tell everything is made from scratch. My favorites are the mezcal cocktail and chicken tacos.
Simple and good. We tried the special of the weekend the “piadina bruta” it was perfect! We also had the “tornillo” a burrito, really good too! Portions are kinda’ small but really good! Def recommended!
