Nothing special, over priced since mostly tourist go there. Food was ok kinda interesting but nothing special. It you want to kill time and say you been there....otherwise go get some tacos.

We are gourmet and very good restaurants are affordable in Mexico so we launched on a grand tour of the best restaurants (from the Chilango magazine list) of the capital. We love Pujol and Nobu, but Biko and Jaso don't deserve a spot in the top 10 list for us. First it is hard to find Jaso: there is no... More

Great chefs who are very experimental. Tasting menu was a bit too much food (although amazing nonetheless). A place to try once but I wouldn't go back on a regular basis.

I've been to Michelin star restaurants such as Providence and Ortolan in Los Angeles; Gilt and Gordon Ramsey's in New York; Hugos in Berlin and even Pujol in Mexico City and even though Jaso is not a Michelin star restaurant it charges the same prices for mediocre food and for sloppy service. The desserts certainly are at the level of... More

I went with a group of colleagues for lunch and we did the 5 course tasting menu. Everything was good, but not great. Portions are tiny, so don't go there if you're really hungry...it's more the ambience and trying some things you probably wouldn't normally eat.

We order the Chef's menu and was pleasantly surprised by the creativity of the chef... scallops with mango sauce etc. Though walking through a bakery on the ground floor to get to the restaurant above seems a tad weird, but once you are there, you'll be blown away by the freshness, quality and ingenuity of the dishes.

The food is overpriced, the portions are minuscule and the flavors are not to die for. The service was ok. Definitely not again.
