Disappointing Experience, Not Worth the Hype I had high hopes for this restaurant based on its positive reviews, but unfortunately, my experience did not live up to expectations. The menu was confusing and poorly written, filled with historical anecdotes and unnecessary details about each dish, but lacking basic descriptions that would help diners understand what they were actually ordering. Unless you engage with the server, you’ll leave the restaurant knowing very little about the food itself. To make matters worse, many of the menu items—both food and wine—were unavailable on the evening we visited, which left us with fewer options than anticipated. The real issue, however, was with the food preparation. One of the dishes we ordered featured beef hind shank (chambarete in Spanish), a cut that requires slow cooking to become tender. Unfortunately, the dish was poorly executed—the meat was tough and inedible and the sauce almost flavorless. As a chef myself, I know that when cooked properly, beef shank should be meltingly tender, but the response to our complaint was simply, "It’s beef shank, and that’s how it is." This was an unsatisfactory answer, especially when the dish was clearly not cooked to its full potential. The rest of the food was passable but unremarkable—not great, and certainly not deserving of the praise the restaurant receives. It felt like the kitchen was relying more on its "story" than on delivering food that truly stands out. Given the combination of subpar food, confusing menu, and unhelpful response to our concerns, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning.

No soy de la cdmx, hice reservacion y llegue muy emocionada para descubrir que el lugar estaba cerrado. Se me hace una falta de respeto no avisar que estan cerrados y no cerrar las reservas. Gastaron mi tiempo, mas la decepción de no poder desayunar ahi. La respuesta del lugar en el local fue “ups”.

Highly recommended gem of a restaurant. Wasn’t sure what to expect as very little is written about the establishment. The food was very well prepared and the service was probably one of the most engaged staff we experienced in CDMX. Great mole with multiple layers that presented themselves as the meal progressed.

Lugar muy agradable y acogedor, las bebidas de 10, la comida 9 porque las chalupas eran un poco picantes pero muy ricas, ambiente agradable y pet friendly, servicio amable aunque al mesero le tuve que pedir un vaso para el agua 3 veces. Un poco más atentos chicos

Mux is incredible. The food is phenomenal and so creative - deeply rooted in the chef’s collected stories and techniques. The servers are friendly and knowledgeable, and the drinks are delightfully playful. Great beers and Mexican spirits in new and familiar ways. Try the whiskey sour! Beautifully done.

Todo muy bueno y el lugar me gusta mucho. El único peto es que la carne, igual que la vez pasada, estaba un dura. Le faltó mucho cocimiento para suavizarse

Highly recommend if you’re in CDMX! Skip overtly tourist spots like Pujol and visit this unique restaurant that embodies regional Mexican cuisine in every dish. The menu is a storytelling beauty of its own with plenty of veg and non veg options to choose from. We visited on our last night in CDMX and couldn’t have ended our trip in a better way!
