“ Selina makes one of the best espresso martinis I have ever had. The last one made by a different bartender was no where near as good as. ”
“ We sat outside al fresco. Delightful. I had an incandescently delicious shrimp taco. My wife had a chicken burger she gushed over and my sister raved about her veggie burger. Their chips (I had to try) were really good too. ”
“ The sopa azteca (which I saw a lot of reviews on) was underwhelming. Basically a watered down spicy tomato soup broth - comes with cheese, tortilla strips, and avocado too but the broth was just okay. The tuna tacos were unique - never had cooked tuna in a taco. It was well done for what it is but not putting cooked tuna tacos on the ‘must eat again’ list. The steak tacos were delicious ! Caramelized onions were perfect and really enjoyed the shoe string fries on top for the added crunch. Order to go so can’t rate the service. ”
“ My wife and I had a lovely time at Tucco on a Sunday evening in La Condesa. A lovely road side patio with a great relaxed vibe. Our server, Selena was knowledgeable and very kind. We ordered prosecco and mezcal and by chance received a 2 for 1 special on both which was a nice surprise. Would recommend! ”
“ Absolutely phenomenal experience! I ate at Tucco two nights in a row during my trip to Mexico City because it was that good. The food and service were both top notch from start to finish. The Pasta Formaggio with Chicken was rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor, easily one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The Cheese Bacon Burger was just as impressive: juicy, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made me feel completely at home. You can tell they take real pride in what they do. If you’re visiting CDMX and want amazing food with warm service, Tucco is a must-visit. I can’t wait to come back! ”
