Artisan Food - Edit
Everything we ate was special: well thought out, carefully prepared, and beautifully presented. I am sure you will love anything on the menu. We ordered two salads and two soups plus an appetizer, thinking they would be small portions. We were stuffed and still took some leftovers with us. The portions are medium size but filling.

Perfect quiet dinner spot - Edit
A surprising number of the vegan options in CDMX close early, so Ojo de Maiz is a rare find of vegan dinner drinks. Everything we had was delicious. And beware... the portions are generous!

Loved it here! - Edit
The waitress was very helpful. She explained a lot of things to me (since I didn’t know much about the dishes they’re offering). I ordered the betabel salad and the mushrooms tamal. I would like to try some more though. The attention was kind, efficient and fast.

Tasty and textured - Edit
Where Ojo de Maiz truly shines is its juxtaposition of textures as well as flavors and ingredients. Soup with perfectly tender vegetables with various thicknesses. Guacamole with pomegranate, vegan cheese, foot long plantain chips, and super crispy blue corn and white corn baked tortillas. Delicious Pambazos! Check it out before the secret gets out!

High quality Mexican cuisine - Edit
Really impressed with the quality of the ingredients, presentation and taste. And a great opportunity to try some authentic/modern Mexican food. The guacamole is great. I really enjoyed the tlalpeño soup. The ayocote bean stuffed tetela was a little bland on its own but much better with the green salsa provided.

Expensive, but good! - Edit
I’m still waiting on HappyCow to do half stars, so consider this a 4.5 star review that’s rounding down since the restaurant is at 5 stars currently.
Read moreWhile prices here definitely reflect the ongoing gentrification of the area and the flood of expats and nomads, the food is outstanding. The guacamole was some of the best I’ve had in a while, and just tasted perfectly fresh. Great texture and flavor, plantain chips to scoop with, and some multigrain chip things as well. Really really good.
The creole potato pambazos were tasty as well, I just would’ve liked a little bit more and perhaps a side salad or something accompanying them for the price. I know they’re a street food like tortas that are typically a la carte, but still.
That said, overall great and worth a visit.

Good vegan food - Edit
We enjoyed this place, my fiancé a little more than I did. I got the squash plate and while it was really tasty it was also deep-fried, I had gotten it because I was trying to be a little fat and calorie conscious after all the over eating I’ve been doing here. I found it a little difficult to figure out the preparation from the descriptions.
Read moreBut they were kind enough and we’re happy to add some fresh lettuce to Chandler‘s dish. I got the fresh vegetable soup with hot tortillas, the soup was absolutely delicious with limes and fresh onion on the side, the tortillas were piping hot. It was pretty amazing.
Our seat was perfect, our table was great to watch the plentiful parade of dogs and people near the sidewalk. The place itself is very small, and very casual.
I think the one thing that really marred my experience was a visit to the bathroom. There are three doors. It was like a kind of disgusting price is right game. I got a nasty surprise in each toilet, the last one leaving me fully nauseous by the time I got back to the table. I understand that Plumbing is delicate here, but there are some things you can’t unsee.

OdM: Best of the Best - Edit
Here you’ll find some excellent less-common dishes. I loved every bite. You’re spoiled with so many great choices in CDMX, particularly Roma/Condesa, and I would put this place at the top.
Read moreThe service and location are pleasant, although I recommended against sitting outside as there’s an awful smell from the street that wafts over every few minutes.

Deliciosa comida vegana - Edit
Los sabores son exquisitos, uno de los mejores restaurantes que hemos visitado. Si quieres probar nuevos sabores en comida vegana está es la opción. Lo mejor es que que son sabores tradicionales con un giro increíble. Los precios son elevados pero vale cada peso.

This place offers a wide variety of traditional mexican dishes. However, this is not the traditional food you would find anywhere, the ingredients used for every dish make them quite elaborate.

One of the best meals on this trip - Edit
By far, one of the best meals on this trip. Ojo de Maíz is a lovely place doing exciting things with its food. We ordered four things:
Read more1. Sopa de habas secas y chochoyotes: soup of dried beans and corn dumplings
2. Flor de calabaza rellena de calabacitas: fried squash blossoms stuffed with zucchini and mushrooms on roasted tomato sauce
3. Betabeles y aguacate tatemado: grilled beets and avocado salad on a pistachio and hoja santa emulsion
4. Chicharron de trigo en salsa verde y roja: chicharrón made from wheat in green and red sauce
There are so many highlights to call out—the soup with its corn dumplings, which I’ve never had and want in ALL my soups now, the fry of the squash blossoms, the grilled avocados, the wheat chicharrones…
And definitely can’t forget the staff who were so incredibly kind. Aside from being patient with my broken Spanish, they gave me the name of a song I liked that was playing over the speakers. Now each time I listen to the song (el jardinero by Gus), I think of that wonderful meal.
Pros: The lovely walkway on Amsterdam St. to the store

Amazing - Edit
Great place with more upscale vegan interpretations of traditional Mexican dishes. A little bit on the pricier side, compared to other places nearby, be makes up for it with flair and presentation. Clientele can be a bit snooty from our experience.

Maíz, please! - Edit
Traditional Mexican ingredients are used to produce creative renditions of traditional and original dishes. You need to order something made with maíz like the delicious tetelas or the panque de elote (corn bread) with popcorn ice cream.
