Meroma
On our last night in CDMX, we had a reservation at Meroma, and they did not disappoint. We have had some excellent meals while staying in the Roma/Condesa area, but this was our favorite. We are from Los Angeles, and we have a fairly good barometer for food and dining.
I'll just start with the service, which was absolutely fantastic. The wait staff were extremely attentive and available when you needed them. We never had to wait. 5 stars.
We sat upstairs on the outdoor patio---Highly recommend. Also get a reservation in advance.
The Cocktails- We both had 2 different cocktails each. All of them delicious, inventive and extremely well balanced. I'm not sure how much alcohol was in them, but we loved them all. My favorite was Rum Foam (thank me later for the rec).
The Starters- We had the beef tartare, and the cauliflower dishes. Both absolutely delicious. The beef was ground very fine, and the consistency was just the way we like it, and served with 2 wonderfully crusty pieces of bread...excellent.
The Cauliflower roasted on bed of lentils and green mole. This was so full of Umami and deliciousness, a tad salty, but if you like salty (like me) it's just fantastic. The Green mole was excellent. A very well balanced dish.
For the Entree- We selected the Butter roasted Organic Half-chicken (recommended for 2), but we were motivated by the sides that it came with-- the roasted purple potatoes and brussel sprouts were served over an umami-filled thin sauce, asian-style scallion pancakes, and a salad with beef-fat vinaigrette. The Chicken was served in four pieces (3 cuts of breast and a leg). It was served atop of such an incredible jus of chicken. Again, more umami flavor popping out. The skin was perfectly crisp and delicious.
For Desert---I had the Afogato, and again... delicious.
Great job to everyone involved in giving us a wonderful last night in Roma. We would absolutely come back again. If you are in Roma anywhere near Calle Colima, you'd be foolish not to check it out.
Enjoy!
