About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Charming
En Metxcalli nuestra inspiración es Oaxaca, multifacética y vibrante, que nos transporta a un viaje de infinitos aromas y sabores que activa nuestros cinco sentidos y evoca la grandeza de los mercados, la complejidad de sus mezcales y pluralismo de la cultura e identidad.
Nacido en costas oaxaqueñas, el Chef Gerson Madrid experimenta y plasma los colores de los sabores tradicionales, cual pintor a su lienzo y los caracteriza por trazos gruesos de contemporaneidad, llevándonos a través de una aventura de sabores que cuentan con personalidad propia, que nos evocan a nuestra tierra, a nuestra cocina al sur de Oaxaca y a nuestro propio hogar.
A lo largo de su trayectoria, el Chef ha recorrido la republica en busca de sazones y vivencias que complementan la experiencia Metxcalli.

    The food was so good, very strong and distinctive flavors. I’d prefer the portions to be smaller so I could have tried more dishes (solo diner).

    Algunas cosas del menú estaban súper ricas, pero otras (el pollo con mole) no estaban a la altura. La atención excelente

    10/10. Great food Great service Great environment Great views Great price I had just proposed to my girlfriend so it was a special night. They gave us desert and champagne on the house. We had a lot of fun there, and will go again if we come back.

    Three of us were looking for a “enough of the beach vibe” experience. Metxcalli delivered with a calm ambiance on a beautifully appointed patio (up two flights of stairs).We shared the tomato salad and a corn and shrimp dish (sorry can’t remember the name) that were fabulous. My mole chicken with risotto had banana fritters that were the perfect counterpoint for the slightly bitter dark mole, the chicken was tender and the mole was fabulous. Both my companions loved their pulpo and beef tacos. Try the Mambo Mambo cocktail for a tequila drink that isn’t the typical too sweet margarita. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend.

    Excelente propuesta para degustar. Comida oaxaqueña con un toque elegante. Deliciosos cócteles con mezcal. El chef viene a tu mesa y es una linda persona. Muy buen gusto en la selección musical y buen servicio

    Reservé para mi cumpleaños y me encantó el lugar. La comida estuvo deliciosa (pedí los ravioles con langosta y mi familia, el risotto de mariscos y la pesca del día) y tuvieron el detalle de darme un pudín por mi cumpleaños. Todos muy amables también.
