Very good tasting menu. They have two options - From "soil" (8 plates) and from sea. I tasted the sea menu, it's 6 plates... really gourmet food.. It's a mexican food with a very good creation. You should reserver before, they have just 16 tables... it's a personal experience!

Evertime I travel I have one or two restaurants on my bucket list, so after a bit of research I decided on pujol. I made the reservation a few weeks prior to ensure a spot. So as you can imagin we were quite excited. Unfortunately we were a bit underwellmed after it was all over. The interior is very simple... More

Our entire experience was just wonderful. The food was amazing, flavors I have never tasted before with delightful presentation and super attentive staff.Most importantly my husband was in casual travel clothes, a t-shirt and jeans and they weren't snotty about it. Wonderful place to splurge.

I went with my parents and each dish was exquisite. Make sure you ask for bread - it is wonderful and comes with a selection of cow butter and goat butter.

The chef Olvera is the best mexican chef in the moment, I will consider this restaurant in the top 5. The ceviche is amazing, the "carnitas", the "lechon" and of course the hand made tortillas.

I disagree with some of the negative opinions. It is true that the restaurant is small and can get slightly noisy but the food experience and the service are clearly worth anything. For those who cherish good food they have to come to Pujol sometime in their lives. Enrique Olvera, the Chef and owner has created a top Mexican influenced... More

My husband and I visited Pujol during a short vacation to DF. The city has no lack of excellent food, yet Pujol stood out. We both had the tasting menu, with Mexican wine pairings. All the courses were excellent, interesting, and creative. I'd describe it as new twists on old favorites, like the deconstructed frijol con puerto. We weren't blown... More

Didn't like the food or the service. Outrageous prices. Well known chef but the tasting menu left something to be desired. Too many other good restaurants in DF that are better overall.
