Testal

Testal cuisine is born from the simplicity of the ingredients and condiments of our land to elaborate dishes of great flavor. ¡Mexican food!

Fantastic meal! I ordered the July 2019 special Chile en Nogada as recommended by Anthony Bourdain for Mexico. It was fantastic and delicious – I have tasted nothing like it in USA. My dish was numbered! Wine from Baja California. Service was superb! Cost is reasonable. My dining companion ordered Mole which was outstanding.It is very comforting to receive messages like yours, and we would love to meet you again. It will be our pleasure to serve you again.

El Cardenal San Angel

Reviewed By Purobi

My husband and I went there in October 2019 at 3 PM on a Friday. We did not have reservation. The restaurant was almost empty. We had a table. Within 20 minutes most of he tables were full. We ordered two lemonades that never came. We hot two glasses of water which was fine. It is an old fashioned restaurant with grumpy wait staff. We got spoiled in Mexico City by outstanding service in restaurants like Zefiro, Quintonil, Nicos, etc. The space is classy yet they serve tortillas in PLASTIC containers!!!!! What is wrong with the management? They could not find ceramics or baskets and appropriate fabrics to serve tortillas? Food was good. Once again old fashioned, traditional food, cooked well. We had shrimp tacos which was very tasty. Their bread basket was good too. The fish we ordered was disappointing. The sauce needed their tomatilla salsa to be tasty. Quality of the fish was good. The chile relleno was supposed to be two pieces but came in one piece. It was very good. Sauce and all. All along the service was terrible. No one ever came to the table to ask if we need anything. No one ever smiled except one of the managers. Been there done that. Not again.Hello, We appreciate your detalied review. We regret to know that your visit was disappointing and we are sorry about that. As we have 4 locations in Mexico City, and occasionally we find opinions left in the wrong page, we would like to make sure that you visited the San Ángel branch, in order to take actions. We would be very grateful if you wrote us back to [email protected] . Best wishes.

Steakhouse mexicano que fusiona lo moderno con lo acogedor, ideal para degustar exquisitos cortes de carne con calidad Sterling Silver. Sorprendente mixología que combina sensaciones y sabores, así como un exclusivo vino de casa “Punto Medio”. DJ resident

Nice restaurant in a residential area. Very good service. Good selection of meats. Salmon and chicken also available and salads. The tacos de arrachera were very good. My chicken in citrus sauce was excellent and a large portion (I could only eat half the chicken). Nice service, good ambiance, good food. Prices not unreasonable.Hola SarraceniLe agradecemos profundamente el haberse tomado el tiempo para describir su experiencia con nosotros. Para nosotros es muy importante recibir sus comentarios y le agradecemos haya compartido su experiencia con nosotros y esperamos poderle servir nuevamente en un futuro cercano. Saludos.

The best Mexican Restaurant with a lot of different choices like Steaks, Tacos, Fajitas, Salads, Pasta, soups, and a lot of different Salsas and Guacamole!

Reviewed By MauricioBabilonia

Visited this place in Polanco after reading excellent reviews at TripAdvisor. Maybe we were in an off day or it is possible that we did not order well. The appetizers were good, but the steaks were just OK. Since I visit Mexico often, maybe we will give it another chance in the future to have a great meal at this restaurant.Dear Mauricio, Thanks for your comments, and We´ll be very happy to see you again !We recommend you to order our Mix Faitas with tortillas and guacamole for the next time, we´re sure you Will enjoy them.

The food is good but the fact that is loud takes the place to another level. Maybe a place to go with friends in the night. Good meat if you are a meat lover but that is it. Not my kind of place.Hello, thank you very much for your review, it is very important to us and serves us to improve.

A good choice of meat. Choose the NY rib steak with a nice glass of Mexican Malbec and the dinner was just fine. Maybe a little bit expensive compare to Mexican standard but for the rest nothing to say. I can highly recommend.Hola 354huguessMuchas gracias por tus comentarios, esperamos regreses pronto. ¡Saludos!
