We did really enjoy an ahi tuna appetizer that we got — one of the best I’ve ever had. However most of the other dishes were just some flavor of decent. Service was fairly attentive but not particularly professional. It was a fine experience but not worth planning our whole day around

It was nice to go to a different neighborhood than the one in which we were staying. The restaurant itself was very beautiful. We went on a Tuesday night and it ended up being full . We all enjoyed our meals. Some of the dishes we had included the organic BBQ fried chicken, the tagliatelle with beef tail ragout, the duck and the red snapper. For dessert we shared the french toast and the chocolate caviar cake with pink pepper ice cream. i am a chocolate lover but the french toast was much better. The waiter told us to order it. i didn't like the pink pepper ice cream on the chocolate caviar cake and the cake itself was just all right. The fried chicken appetizer was wonderful as was the tagliatelle that I had for my main course. I have no idea why some recent reviews gave this restaurant low marks. I would be happy to dine here again.

We came in with high expectations and to say the least our expectations were not only met but exceeded. Everything we ordered was perfection. Great food, great location, great service, super affordable and the food was amazing. I started with the Octopus Cheviche. In my 61 years I have tried just about every take on Ceviche and to say say Maximo’s Cheviche was by far the very best is quite an understatement. We plan a second visit in October and Maximo Bistrot will definitely be part of our second trip. Chef Eduardo Garcia and his lovely wife made our experience an unforgettable one by spending a few minutes with chatting with us. Our most sincere thanks to Maximo Bistrot for making our last night in Mexico City one to be remembered.

The cocktails were delicious, the wine that was suggested, was perfect for our meal. Our favorite dishes were the chicken liver, the onions, the chicken dish, and of course the ant eggs. Highly recommend.
