   Amazing ambience, food service overall a top-notch restaurant! Price point is obviously a lot higher than normal, but I will tell you for a full experience like this you need to pay to play!

   My husband and two boys ate at Maximo for his 70th birthday. It was outstanding! My foodie son said it was the best meal he's ever had (and he's eaten in Michelin starred restaurants in NYC and Copenhagen.) The service was fantastic and friendly, the vibe relaxed but felt special. We had starters (ceviche, burrata), pastas (ravioli, risotto) and two beef dishes (beef cheek and shank). Plus desert (flan and chocolate cake). Wonderful, wonderful meal and Chef "Lalo" was in the kitchen (open so you can see in) the whole night cooking away! So special, thank you!!

   Muy caro para lo que fue, se supone que al tener estrella Michelin el restaurante, se deben cuidar detalles y un platillo traía un cabello. Inaceptable. La comida nada espectacular, platillos unos buenos otros malos. Los meseros despistados, no regresaría.

   Te mandan un correo pidiéndote te vistas semiformal y estás rodeado de personas en tshirts deslavadas. Es el problema es este lugar, quiere se algo que no es. El servicio es lento. Hay platos buenísimos y otros mediocres. La decoración es espantosa llegando a poner lonas para cubrir los tragaluces. Y luego te cobran como si la experiencia hubiera sido magnífica. No regresaría.

   Skip Maximo. While the food was quite good, the service was aloof, uncaring, slow. Waited at least 10 minutes for menus. Waited another ten before anyone stopped by to welcome us. Waited 30 minutes between appetizers and main dish…while being completely forgotten by the waitstaff. They poured us two bottles of water without us asking (at $8-plus a piece) but did remove them from our bill when I questioned this practice. All in all, it was not a pleasant experience and I would recommend it to no one. We’re not fussy, demanding people but at those prices, you deserve a little attention from the staff. It was our anniversary and we were so sick of being ignored, we didn’t even stay for dessert. Very disappointing.

   Vivía en Mexico hace años y Máximo era mi restaurante favorito. Volví ahora después de 8 años y la decepción fue enorme. Los precios me parecieron excesivamente caros, absolutamente todo lo que probamos no tenia sabor. El camarero nos recomendó pedir demasiada comida, no nos terminamos la mitad de los platos. Honestamente, una experiencia muy muy decepcionante.

   My friends and I have been to Mexico City several times and many Michelin restaurants, Maximo by far was the worst dining experience we have had. The service was absolutely terrible. While there was plenty of staff, it seemed as though the restaurant operated in absolute chaos. Our waiter didn’t even bother to give us menus for 30min, our water or drinks were never replenished, nor did our waiter ever bother to check on us or our food. Food was subpar as well and super heavy on the cream on all dishes. Unfortunate as this restaurant has potential but hard to see how they have their Star. Highly recommend passing on this restaurant and going literally anywhere else , there are plenty of other restaurants that actually care about their food and the customer dining experience.

   Visitamos Máximo para probar su menú de degustación, el cual cumplió ampliamente nuestras expectativas en cuanto a calidad y sabor. Cada platillo estaba cuidadosamente elaborado, con ingredientes frescos y combinaciones deliciosas que reflejan la propuesta gastronómica del lugar. Sin embargo, el servicio dejó mucho que desear. Atención descuidada y despectiva. Pedimos copas de vino que tardaron más de una hora en llegar, ya cuando prácticamente habíamos terminado de comer. Además, solicitamos café en dos ocasiones y nunca nos lo llevaron.

   Eduardo Garcia is an amazing standout in the Mexico City culinary world. This amazingly beautiful restaurant delivers it all, outstanding food, wine, vibe, and an interior that is so gorgeous. I will definitely be going back for more of this! Thanks for the incredible service during our recent visit. This was an absolute highlight of our visit to Mexico City where the michelin stars abound.

    Todo me parece espectacular. El mejor lugar de Ciudad de México para comer delicioso en un ambiente amable y relajado.
