Reviews
Came to Pargot on my first night in CDMX without particularly high expectations, and it ended up being one of the most memorable meals of the trip. Chef Alexis Ayala’s interpretation of Contemporary Mexican reflected a refined, “product-first” philosophy reminiscent of Californian cuisine. Essentially natural vibrancy of Mexican ingredients preserved and gently elevated rather than transformed beyond recognition. He’s not afraid to get weird with it (grasshopper XO sauce, cold clam stew), but instead of a crowded mess, every distinct ingredient was allowed to remain prominent and essential the final dish. My favorites of the evening were the Raw fish Kebbe, Clam stew, complimentary cornbread and butter, and the Sweet stuffed chili.
The Kebbe had a really interesting texture. Toasted grasshoppers mixed into the XO sauce added a brittle, shattering crunch, almost reminiscent of sekkoshi-style Korean sashimi, where the chew comes from delicate bone fragments. Clam Stew was a playful riff on chowder. Chocolate clams were meatier than what I’m used to in New England, and the broth carried subtle melon and sake notes. A scoop of corn-miso ice cream melted in slowly, which added a gentle sweetness and umami.
By the time the Sweet Stuffed Chili arrived, I had hit a wall. I managed exactly two bites before waving the white flag. One of the servers then swooped in to offer a digestif. I usually treat the whole ‘digestif’ concept like snake oil, but the Sotol (Flor del Desierto) he poured worked like magic. It instantly cut through the food coma and completely rewired my stance on after-dinner spirits.
It might fly under the radar for most visitors, but Pargot brings a unique, unapologetic point of view that the city’s more crowded hotspots are missing. Highly recommend giving them a try.
The menu was genuinely surprising, beautifully executed and introducing flavours I had never encountered before. A special mention goes to the octopus. It was visually striking (see pic) and exquisitely tender, it quite literally melted in the mouth. The rice pudding dessert was equally memorable, offering an impressive mix of textures and flavours and leaving me seriously tempted to order a second serving.
We paired the meal with a red wine, Quota29 from Salento in Italy, which complemented the dishes perfectly. From start to finish, everything was pure pleasure.
Service was impeccable, and the passion of the kitchen team was evident throughout. I loved every aspect of the experience at Pargot. Congratulations to the entire team.
The atmosphere is warm and relaxed—perfect for a long lunch or an easy dinner—and the service is attentive without hovering. It’s the kind of spot where you can taste the care that goes into the kitchen, from the ingredients to the presentation.
A standout in Roma Norte if you’re looking for elevated food in a laid-back setting. Definitely a place worth returning to.
I must admit, I’ve had some of the best food of my life here. My star dish was definitely the crab stew — simply unforgettable.
The opening appetizer, perfectly aligned with the seasonal festivities, was a skull-shaped sweet corn bread served with honey-infused butter they had specially prepared. Then came the duck dish, featuring a delightful mix of textures and just the right balance of sweet and sour flavors. I topped it all off with a chocolate-stuffed chili pepper, beautifully garnished with foamy white chocolate.
I can’t forget to mention their creative and delicious cocktails. I tried two: one made with a hint of horchata and kaffir lime for an amazing aroma, and another with nopal (cactus flower). Both were excellent, but the horchata-based one is a must-try if you’re looking for something truly unique and different from your usual cocktails.
Side note – I’m used to American portion sizes so I was a bit nervous but 5 dishes really did make us feel full as they suggested 🙂
