Quintonil – 2* Mexico City

I’ve been looking forward to this meal. Let me start by saying this was one of the best most attentive services I’ve had. All the staff were extremely friendly and personable. I mean all. I commented on the beginning that I liked Omar’s lapel pin and he gave it to me. Saul, who was amazing, gave my father his. Saul was so friendly and gave us many recommendations in the city. We did the kitchen counter and everyone stopped by at some point and we shared some friendly banter.

The food was mostly great. I’d say the mains weren’t as good as the rest. The only disappointment was the duck, it was chewy. But the mole it came with was delicious. Until then I loved everything. Flavors were bold and creative. I thought the use of insects was fun, though wouldn’t have minded them more visibly present. Desserts were okay, not amazing.

Overall apt 2* rating with potential for more in future.
