“ Great service and food. Interesting menu so worth trying to see if you can find a pic of one before going if you’re not adventurous. Good drinks and a lot of fun. ”
“ One of the most interesting and delicious meals we had in Mexico! Between the ambiance, service and food - it is a must eat. The elote tamale (off menu) knocked my socks off! ”

“ Absolutely awesome spot. Great food and service. Victor was not only one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen (are the dimples the menu sir????) but he did a great job of guiding us through the menu. Would 100% recommend. ”
“ Phenomenal. As recommended by our host, Charlie, at Pujol, this was one for the books. We had several items in this dimly lit tre atmospheric establishment. The mole tlayuda was the star of the show. A mole pizza! We also had the guacamole, mushroom tamale, octopus taco, shisido peppers, and pepitas. Everything was simply, divine. vinyl vibes food drinks The service was attentive and timely. The drinks were really unique and intricate. My friend had the mezcal martini and I, a spicy margarita. Overall, definitely check it out! 11/10 would highly recommend. I only wish I came here sooner so I could come back and try other treats! ”
“ This fancy restaurant and bar has a very cool vibe. The plant that sits in the corner of the room is best seen during the day for lunch. We had the octopus tacos that were very delicious, the tostada dish was very good and almost shaped like a pizza. It was full of fresh veggies and the guacamole and sauce went very well. The aguachile was also very good. We also got the fried banana that had a nice spicy kick on top but a very soft and warm inside. The tres leches dessert was good but not what I expected as it wasn't as soft and spongy as I normally would expect it to be. The cocktails were very good and well made. The staff was very attentive and the food came out in a timely manner. ”
“ Ticuchi is effortlessly cool—honestly, cooler than I am. It’s a super trendy bar with incredible vibes, packed with energy and people clearly having a great time. Despite the scene, the service was kind, prompt, and professional. The drinks are playful, creative, and exactly what you'd hope for in a spot like this. But what really blew me away was the food. It’s hard to believe dishes this balanced and well-crafted are coming out of a bar kitchen. Every bite felt intentional and elevated—and the guacamole? Hands down the best we had in all of CDMX. Ticuchi is one of those places where everything just clicks: ambiance, food, drinks, and people. If you’re looking for a place that delivers a full experience, not just a meal or a cocktail, this is it. ”
“ Stumbled upon this place, looking for lunch. The restaurant is closed during the day, but has a window that serves a lunch menu. There are 4 small seats and 2 patio tables available, so the seating is limited! Super neat experience as you sit at the window and watch the chefs/ cooks prepare tortillas and ingredients for that nights dinner. The menu is limited but the food is delicious!! Great for lunch! ”
