Reviews For MATA Comedor Cantina

My wife and I had a beautiful dinner at Mata for our last night in Mexico City. Had we tried it earlier in our visit, we would have returned another evening. It was our best meal in Mexico, even though it was not the most expensive. Every food item was served beautifully and was delicious, like a high-end place. Our cocktails were especially well-made, with clear ice cubes that added a special touch. Our waiter was very sweet and had good suggestions. Don't miss it!

MATA was amazing. All of the food and drinks we got were top notch. Their steak was delicious, their fish tacos were delicious, their beers tasted better because of the beautiful view and great service

If you are looking for a place to have a drink and a set of 3 tacos while enjoying the city center this is your place. A calm relaxing, nice designed place

This restaurant offers excellent food and service with a fantastic atmosphere. Tips for Visiting: 1. Finding the Location: It can be a little tricky to find, but they have a host station on the lower level—keep an eye out for it. 2. Food and Atmosphere: The food is top-notch, and the ambiance is wonderful. It’s definitely worth the effort to locate. Final Thoughts: Don’t miss this hidden gem! The experience is absolutely worth it.

Love this place so much, retuned multiple times. The service was so friendly, the margaritas were incred, everything I had on the menu was delicious every time and the old building is beautiful. Definitely recommend, also reasonably priced

Dropped by just for drinks. The upstairs area is absolutely stunning with its decor. Good drink menu and cost. I want to come back to try the food next time!
