It's a beautiful space, minimalist, but with just enough artistic touches to make you feel like you're in a classy place, but not so much as to detract from the food. Food was very good, but not fantastic as the reputation/hype would have you believe. Mole was a tad off on the duck quesadillas, lamb was delicious and tender, but... more

The food was amazing. The waiters were rude and pretentious. I understand that this restaurant is located where the rich and famous play-but, you'd think that the chef/owner would teach her staff to be more gracious to guests who dine there. more

My husband and I dined here and enjoyed it so much we came back two nights later. The food was fabulous, the wait staff were efficient and helpful, and the wine list had some great selections. We loved everything we tried. The lobster enchiladas, the tamale appetizer selection, the cerviche appetizer selection, the side dish of sweet potato, apple and... more

In my experience I ate a dish of rice and shrimps for 400 pesos, 30 dollars, and is not elegant. Also a crepa was 180, when you can find for 80 pesos. Dont come here. more

On Saturday February 21st, my husband and I had lunch at Izote in Polanco/Mexico City. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We enjoyed the ceviche sampler with three different kinds of ceviche-all excellent. We also had the small tamales, the spicy shrimp and the sopa ligera. The flavors were varied and interesting. The restaurant is pleasant and... more

Lovely food; creative combinations, on main drag in Polanco neighborhood. A sophisticated take on Mexican food. Ambiance a little sleek and spare--definitely not a traditional dining experience, but very good. A splurge by Mexico City standards. more

Our driver recommended Izote. It was good restaurant but you can get good food for a lot cheaper prices at other restaurants. This meal with tip cost us about $150. The decor is "Aztec modern." Service was good. They brought us a tidbit of cheese on a puff pastry--very good. We had an appetizer of shrimp on a mini-tortilla with... more

We ate at Izote on July 19th, 2008. First of all, the food is excellent and the menu is large and there were many other dishes I'd like to try - if I went back. But the waiter was terrible: He was unsmiling and curt, he tried to bump up our order, clearly to increase the bill and ignored us... more

The Lamb Shank Roasted in A Banana Leaf with a Red Mole Sauce maybe the best dish I have ever eaten. more
