I was a bit disappointed
This was one of the places we were most excited for in Mexico city. The lighting is dim and the tree in the middle is beautiful. Unfortunately, I don't feel like the drinks were meant for me. I looked through their menus and settled on a drink, only to be a bit disappointed. I tried to get a spirit forward drink, only to feel like it was too fruity.
The food menu is only meant as snacks, and I didn't love how everything was so salty. It's meant to complement the drinks, but I felt that the popcorn, pumpkin seeds, and fried cheese made me go more to my water than cocktail.
The carrots in the mole however were very good. They were perfectly roasted and we wiped the mole plate clean.
I'm sure there are other drinks on the menu that I could've liked, but I didn't fully understand the ingredients and felt that there was a dedication to making unique ones, but i didn't love them.
The service was nice, but they do insist on a time limit of being there. The atmosphere inside is beautiful, but I didn't love the tiny chairs and table.
This is a very trendy place and we booked a reservation ahead of time. I'm sure there is a better drink I could've gotten, but unfortunately I didn't like mine and that heavily influences my review.

Museo Casa Estudio Diego Rivera y Frida Kahlo
One of our best experiences in Mexico city.
The pictures will speak for themselves, but this house is beautiful.
Carlos was an impeccable tour guide. My wife and I wanted to find him on IG so that we could reach out and tell him how much we loved our trip because of him.
Make sure to pay for the Tour Guide experience. They will walk you through the story of Functionalism and be able to expand the ideas of the house into so much Mexican history.
It really was a great experience

Farmer Boys
I love fast food, but this doesn't hit the spot.
I think that fast food is an important part of every person's social life. Whether it's going out because you want to save some money, or you are going with a group of people and want to be able to casually hang out while sharing a meal.
Farmers Boys' does have a parking lot in Hollywood, it's also a very big location and can accommodate a big group, but I really did not like the food at all.
One of my concerns when walking in is how huge the menu is, it seems like they tried to check every single menu item possible without considering making better quality of each.
Especially when they have two different types of meat for the burgers, I was able to realize that they have a bad strategy that causes the price to be way too expensive for what you are getting.
Paying 17 dollars for a smashed chicken tender between two buns meal wasn't what I had in mind for fast food. This place isn't cheap, but its quality isn't good. Yes, the parking is free, but you also have to walk down steps that have pee on them to get into a fast food place where you will overpay.
I did like the service, the employees were very friendly and served the food to our table.
