Carlota - Álvaro Obregón

I invited my significant other for birthday lunch at Carlota and it definitely did not disappoint. The prices are on the higher side but not overwhelming. The flavors are intense and surprising and the place is very very beautiful as it is a on old house with a garden. We had the ceviche, the oysters, asparagus with cheese, short rib with sweet potato puree and the grilled fish, all to share and not one single dish was average. Service was also attentive and quick, maybe a bit too quick even. We had a bottle of white wine which was not cold enough, that was probably my only issue during the meal. All in all I heartily recommend this restaurant.

After watching the UNAM Pumas, we needed a peaceful place to shed the intense vibe of the game. Carlota is just fabulous. The food and cocktails were creative and delicious. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful. This is an expensive place, by Mexican standards, but it feels like a bargain by US standards. I can't recommend it enough.

Located in the heart of the San Angel old village, Carlota Restaurant offers creative contemporary Mexican cuisine.We had lunch at the terrace, enjoying a nice view of the (almost 400-year-old) El Carmen Church’s domes.The menu is quite creative. They offer traditional Mexican food prepared with the new techniques and way of presenting the dishes. The wine selection is good with a heavy accent on Mexican wines and options for every budget. The service was outstanding, offering helpful advice.The only area for improvement is the lack of availability of English menus. The lunch menu is offered after 2pm only!

We came here after a football match at the nearby Estadio Olimpico. This was the perfect spot...After the crowds and the mayhem of the match, the sunny garden, stone walls and grass was the perfect selection. The cocktail menu is varied and interesting - a little heavy on the mezcal cocktail options, but most will find something to their taste.The food is perfect for an afternoon meal - substantial enough to satisfy, but not so heavy to stop you from the rest of the day. Food is delicious and well presented. The service is attentive.For those with children, there is a small lawn where kids were playing. The restaurant is family-friendly and very comfortable, no matter who is in your group.

Carlota is a great restaurant. Wonderful location and beutiful place. The food is good and has a unique flavor. It is a really fresh and modern way to enjoy mexican food.
