Great food. Poor service. Not terrible but had 2 different servers who were friendly but forgot about us, and forgot part of the order, and then a third server who just seemed unhappy to be there. It didn’t really affect the overall experience too much and would try it again.

About the restaurant

Restaurante TESTAL, especializado en Cocina Mexicana de Origen, abre sus puertas al público el 15 de mayo del 2015 para ofrecer lo más selecto y tradicional de la alta cocina mexicana y se erige, además, como una opción ideal para los más exigentes paladares. Su nombre proviene de la palabra náhuatl tixtlali o textlali que significa masa para poner. Así TESTAL es la evocación a las bolitas de maíz que le dan origen a la tortilla mexicana. Por favor, considere que para mesas a partir de 10 personas el restaurante pedirá un depósito de 200MXN por persona para poder confirmar y garantizar la reservación.

We were in Mexico City for business. Costa Guadiana was recommended to us, and we are happy we dined there. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They gave us great service throughout the dinner. We started with the ceviche and mushrooms appetizers. Both were seasoned to perfection, and tasted amazing. Our entrees were also delicious. I ordered the filet tacos and my colleague had the fish Veracruz. We also enjoyed their margaritas, made with fresh lime juice and shaken to perfection. We will definitely go back!

We were lucky that La Única was our first meal in CDMX and it did not disappoint! The cocktails we ordered were delicious (Mescal Sour & Tamarind Margarita) and we tried a variety of things from starters, to tacos, to salads, to sushi. We loved it all! Our server was wonderful and recommended my husband’s favorite part of the meal (the sushi tuna with avocado & carrots listed under “From the Sea”).

About the restaurant

Carmela is not from here, but she is not from there either. Its cuisine is inspired by our lands, but its ingredients can be born anywhere. And besides, Carmela puts something totally unique in the pot. The salt of your life. In quantities that only her heart knows. Carmela cooks like at home. Surrounded by love, colors, textures and memories. What are you coming to eat? Feelings, but on the plate.
