Azul y Oro: Reviews & Ratings
One of the best restaurants in Mexico!!!! Delicious and perfect taste as well as presentation!
It is a great place, where you can enjoy from cup of coffee up to cochinita tacos. The tiramisu cake is just delicious!!!
Down to earth restaurant with menu specials that rotate around culinary specialties from the different Mexican regions. Well executed with wonderful presentation. I encourage you to try different sources if protein like the Chapulines (cricket) or Escamoles (magey caterpillar), you will be surprised.
This is the most superb, came to the UNAN for a concert, and just come up with friends for a bite. What a place, presentation. Customer service. They go all the way to explaining each dish. It is far from town, but the cultural Ofer and the the food make it all worth
Simply the best food I’ve had in a long long time! Kudos, Ricardo Munoz! Thanks for placing Mexican food and ingredients in such a great global standard!
Great service, location and view, enjoy.
This one, like the other A&O in the city, continuously feature interesting regional dishes...this time Quintana Roo. Most descriptions said there was a touch of habanero chile, but I/we didn t detect much. Pleasant setting just after Sunday concert. Plenty of interesting dishes to choose from, well plated. Waiters were fast and attentive (from the reviews below...it seems to vary). Always interesting dishes and desserts to try (always sorry I can t manage to eat two main dishes). Grateful for a well-served glass of wine (other restaurants balk at more than120 ml). Always a pleasant surprise at any of the A&O restaurants. Not cheap, but reasonable.
One of the best restaurants in Mexico City, I'm sure, not just for its gourmet Mexican food but because of the wonderful place it inhabits: Centro Cultural Universitario with Concert Halls, Theatre, Dance, and Azul y Oro. OrgullosamenteUNAM
