Azul Historico Mexico City Reviews
Very good choice
Very friendly staff, fantastic margaritas, tired local cuisine that was very well presented and prepared. Space and atmosphere exceptional.
A unique experience
Great food served in a unique way, friendly and fast staff, great location. The aesthetics of the restaurant are the most beautiful we’ve seen in CDMX. Would definitely visit again!
Try guacamole with white ant eggs or crushed grasshoppers...
Recommended by a friend's son who went to school and lives in Mexico City, Azul Historico did not disappoint. Although seated to capacity, the courtyard ambience was still refreshing. Service was generally attentive but spotty at times...probably due to a Sunday night crowd. Food and wines were amazing. Menu choices were so different and even exotic that we probably overordered just to try some new foods. Have you ever ordered guacamole with white ant eggs or crushed grasshoppers? We had not, so one of each was appropriate...as appetizers! Our various mole mains, as well as my special order duck entree, were exquisite. The complimentary tomato salad, together with dinner and our several bottles of Saint Thomas Barbera, was more than enough to forego dessert. Five thousand pesos which included tax and a 15% gratuity was worth the experience.
Seriously Dissapointed
The staff: all seemed miserable, no smile, cold as ice. The food: my husband’s mole was so cloying sweet it tasted like Hershey syrup, mine was better but not great. Sangria also overly sweet. Way better food on the street food tour we did last night. Ambiance was nice but dark, hard to read menu. Seriously disappointed.
Yummy, clean food in a gorgeous setting
Deeelicious high- quality food- for both vegetarians and non- vegetarians. The location in a beautiful courtyard covered by a tree canopy is tranquil and unique. Highly recommend their mole negro. Lots of food and cocktail options. We’ll be back!
It didn’t surprise me as expected
Maybe my expectations were too high. Many friends recommended us this place as one of the best spots in CDMX and I’m not going to say that is not, it is. However there are areas where they can improve. 1) Plates are very good, presentation and taste is amazing, moles are a most try 2) Cocktails are ok but don’t ask for something that is not in the list because the staff will strugle 3) Wine list is short, but the staff has no clue which one to suggest. Many mexican wines from just one region. A lack of a sommelier as part of the staff is evident 4) Coffee, they do have Cafe Pluma but they don’t offer it, staff rather offer Nespreso and I don’t know why.
Go. You’ll enjoy it.
A great restaurant near the heart of Mexico city. Situated in what must be a house from the 17th or 18th century, the restaurant has a great vibe, and great food. The guacamole is fantastic, and the enchiladas con mote poblano were to die for. Recommended.
Hidden gem
This is a fantastic place for Comida in Mexico City. The setting is amazing in a leafy courtyard filled with candles and ambiance. The food and presentation was superb. The service was attentive but not overpowering. The tequila was…. Highly recommended for a lingering experience.
Five outta Five for this romantic restaurant in historic setting
Found this named by Travel & Leisure as one of the city's best.... and it was on the main floor of the Downtown Hotel where we stayed. Ate there twice in four days. Romantic setting, low lighting, colonial courtyard atmosphere, CLOTH napkins!, potted trees’ limbs overhanging the tables. Dine al fresco in good weather. Excellent array of regional Mexican dishes. Full bar. you can watch a cook pats masa into tortillas. Reservations recommended (tho in our case arriving at 5:30 or 6pm there were a couple tables available). This location is about a 5-10 minute walk from the Zocalo and near all the sites you want to see in Mexico City. Starts with included sopa marisco; I had manchamanteles -- duck w a sweet mole of ancho chile w pineapple, apple, pear and plantains; my husband had “Legendary Black Mole from Oaxaca” w chicken breast. The next night we shared enchiladas w mole and pork tacos pibil. … I ate half of his. Service excellent.
Excellent choice for dinner!
Azul Histórico is an attractive restaurant with an interior courtyard where trees form a canopy above you. Candles hang from the branches, creating a beautiful atmosphere. Our food was excellent and the service was exceptional. Our waiter, Juan, was attentive and helpful. We joked later in the evening that if someone would have dropped a napkin, he would have caught it before it hit the ground. He made the evening special for all of us. While not inexpensive, we thought the combination of excellent food, service and atmosphere made it a bargain.
Fast fine dining
Azul Historico was recommended both by our hotel and by our guidebook and having looked at the menu online in advance, we were both looking forward to it. Whilst the food was good, the evening was spoilt by the over speedy service. Our waiter asked us four or five times if we were ready to order before we’d had a chance to go through the menu. Having ordered, the starter turned up almost immediately and the main courses before we had eaten less than half of the starter. We continued with the starter and the main courses were cold by the time we were ready for them. Our waiter was also keen to whisk the plates/glasses away before we had finished. The setting of the restaurant is lovely but we wanted to savour the experience and weren’t really given a chance to. Both the food and the drinks are on the expensive side.
Warning: Tourist Trap!!
Azul Historico attracts hordes of hungry guests day after day for unknown reasons. It's utterly baffling because the food is nearly inedible, the prices are outrageously high, and in January, you freeze under the open sky. We've had several meals in Mexico City, and this was by far the worst and most expensive. Additionally, the timing was terrible, and the servers were rude. - Guacamole - the worst ever; tasteless and lacking acidity. - Ceviche - the worst ever; large flavorless fish pieces. - Enchiladas - the worst ever; swimming in an inedible sauce. About the timing: 10 minutes before the starters were served, a waiter came and threw the napkin that was on my plate into my lap. As if I don't know when it's time to remove the napkin. Later - we were only halfway through the starters when the main courses were placed on the table, and they were lukewarm by the time we got to them. However, as mentioned, they were inedible. We ended up leaving half of all the expensive food, and in a surprisingly short time, the table was cleared. Were we interested in desserts? No thanks - just the bill, please. In addition to these dishes, we each ordered 1 glass of house white wine (excellent), and the bill for all this misery crept up to just under 1,800 pesos. A scandal. We asked to pay by card. The waiter entered the amount on the machine and now asked how much he could add for a tip. We exclaimed in unison: No tip! The waiter raised an eyebrow in shock and almost screamed in horror: NO TIP?? It was the highlight of the evening. Don't be fooled by the charming ambiance. Azul Historico is a top-notch tourist trap. And the prices should be reported to the police.
Delicious dinner
Amazing food and wonderful service in a stunning setting. The chipotle prawns were delicious. A bit more expensive than most restaurants in cdmx but worth it!
Exquiste!
The ambience was anazing. The servers were highly professional. The presentation beautiful. We had the classic guacamole, tortilla soup and enchiladas mole. My only regret is I was so full, I could not enjoy dessert. The tortilla soup really is something to rave about. The bowl and lid in which it came in was beautiful. I insist you order the tortilla soup, you will not be disappointed. Our waiter was Julio. We had a wonderful female server and I deeply regret that I did not get her name for this review. But both were highly professional in presentation and in serving us. The hostess was very professional as well. I’ve eaten at restaurants all over the world. Azul has become one of top restaurants I’ve ever eaten at.
Don't eat here. Mediocre food at high price. Choose another place for your special occasion!
Don't eat here. The prices are very high; the food is not good. We had a bad tamal and immediately let the sever know. They refused to make it right; it was a long discussion and really gave a sour taste to our evening. We paid $150 USD for a mediocre meal, and unfortunately dismissive service. Save your money and get a better meal elsewhere.
Classic Mexican Food!
This is a classic, real Mexican food restuarant. The food is great as is the service. They have a great mezcal menu and the wait staff is very helpful in choosing just the right one. The soup is served in an interesting bowl with a skeleton cover. The ambiance is beautiful and intimate. Do not miss this classic Mexico City venue!
The classic mexican restaurant with some epic dishes!
Book ahead! Order the tortilla soup (even if it’s the only thing you do, thank me later). Beautiful restaurant! Will always come back to this space
Cuisine and service superb
I had read about Azul Historico so I expected to walk into a patio. What I did not expect was a full restaurant that looked like all of its customers were not locals. I wondered what it meant that the restaurant lacked obvious locals. I should not have worried. We ordered the justly famous duck fritters with a mole sauce and also empanadas with chopped shrimp. We finished with a deliciously light chocolate cake with ice cream and with a fruit with a chocolate sauce. Our waiter Mario was absolutely superb. He carefully presented each dish as a single course and, as we requested, served each of us one half of the ordered dish He did this warmly and elegantly.
Delicious mole in a beautiful setting
You first get enchanted by this beautiful inner garden setting, with candle lights hanging from the trees, and a lovely lady busy making tacos. But this is not all: we ordered a ceviche and a turkey mole and it was truly delicious. Not easy to find moles on a manu so I was glad that my turkey mole was full of wonderful flavors and cooked to perfection
Blue Meal
Azul Historico was referred to me by my hotel concierge. The place looked grand inside, as well as safe as security is at the front and all staff wear masks. However, the quality of the food was masked by the beautiful pottery and service showmanship. The guacamole was bland and too creamy that it seemed like it was off the shelf. The pork tacos (tacos de lechon) were decent but you overpay for mediocrity.
An Amazing Dining Experience
The building; the ambiance; the service; the food; the wine all come together like a beautiful symphony to create an amazing dining experience!

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Azul Historico Mexico City at 6 PM the same day.
