Ajo Negro

I loved the fusion between the Mexican and Spanish cuisine. My dining partner and I chose the night short menu. Our favorite dishes were the artichokes, steak tartare, and the leek confit, The wines that I chose in consultation with our server complemented the dishes. They were 2 oz pours but for 4 Euros, the allowed me to try lots of wine at an affordable price. Definitely deserved a Michelin one star.

We found this gem of a restaurant through the Michelin Guide. The tasting menu with wine pairing was extraordinary. The food takes centre stage with the service quiet and efficient, friendly but not intrusive. The chef and sommelier selected perfect accompaniments for the food by showcasing mostly Spanish wines with a little Italian intruder. All enhanced the tasting experience creating a harmonious complementary symphony of food and wine.The food portions were delicate in size, which is what you need if you do a 16 course meal. The food presentation was exquisite with special little touches to create a feast for the eyes. The fusion between Spanish and Mexican cuisines is done in a harmonious manner to enhance the flavours with some of the dishes layering three or four distinct flavours combining synergistically to a nuance taste crescendo.The cutlery was delicate and each of the dishes was served in creative choices of crockery to enhance the visual presentation of the dishes.All in all it was a memorable and thoroughly enjoyable experience. I would recommend this diamond to all food lovers whole heartedly. Great memories to take back to Cape Town in South Africa! Thank you Ajonegro!????????????????

Fantastc food and a wonderful dining experience. Service and food was even above expectations after seen many excellent reviewes. Recommended.

An amazing fusion of Mexico City and Spanish cuisine. The beef tartare on a crispy chicharrones-style chip, the tempura cauliflower taco, the incredibly luxurious ossobuco, a stunning version of redfish ceviche—it was everything we hoped it would be. The location near La Redonda, the knowledgeable waitstaff, and a congenial visit with the chef-owner made it one of the best visits we’ve had to a Michelin- starred restaurant.

We had an exceptional tasting meal here at a very reasonable price point. The wine list goes on for days and we had a Reserve rioja for 36 euros! Worth every penny. Every bite was exquisite!
