Chapulín

Looks are totally deceiving. Cool looking lighted menu, very nice looking place (for a very formal fancy dinner) and amazing presentation but cook not the very best at tasting good. Octopus tostada had no flavor other than salt. Ceviche gave me GI issues after a bite. Beans were fine and guac looked nice with fresh avocado but again lacking in flavor.
Drinks menu seemed amazing but I don’t drink which seems to be the essence of the place.
Price are good. Presentation excellent. Service hard working but left disappointed with taste.

Uno de mis restaurantes favoritos en la Ciudad de México. Y es que, el diseño de su cocina, así como el del comedor, es simplemente impresionante. Al llegar, lo primero que vez es la cocina, diseñada con mosaicos blancos y negros, pero con un toque mexicano que la hace muy especial. Inmediatamente después, te encuentras con una bella terraza techada, que con una agradable vista a la copa de los árboles.
Por otro lado, en su menú podrás encontrar diferentes platillos mexicanos contemporáneos. Ofrecen una gran variedad de entradas como Hormigas Chicatanas, Chapulines, Frijoles de la Abuela, Sopes con Ciervo Rojo, Aguachile de Pescado y Callo en Jugo de Jícama y Melón Verde.
Entre los platillos principales puedes disfrutar, entre muchos otros, de Short Rib con Pulque, Torta de Cochinita Pibil, Pechuga de Pollo con Mole Negro, Pescado a la Barbacoa, Albóndigas de Camarón, Pescado a la Talla o Lechón Rostizado. Personalmente, recomiendo mucho probar las tortadas de Rib-​Eye con Mole de Hormiga Chicatana, un platillo poco común, pero que sabe delicioso.
Por si fuera poco, en Chapulín cuentan con una gran variedad de vinos nacionales e internacionales, así como 80 etiquetas diferentes de mezcal y 45 cervezas artesanales a elegir. Todo, para que lograr el maridaje perfecto.

I had the Baja California style tacos. High points for style, service, plating and ambience. I think I went around closing time, so they must be out of some ingredients. some of my tacos started getting soggy because of a little too much tomato. Anyway, the tortilla used was very tasty — overall it was definitely not bad. My husband had a fish dish, which he liked — but said that perhaps something was off. We are not experts when it comes to Mexican cuisine, but felt that there was room for improvement — IMHO.
Oh, and since I was Spanish challenged, I really appreciated that the menu had all the ingredients in the dishes clearly mentioned, and the wait staff was very fluent in English. Múy bién!

Chapulin runs at Intercontinental Hotel. A very modern wood atmosphere with great service. Part of the restaurant is smoke friend. Tbe area is separated by glass wall. There is an extense liat of cocktails. Drom Mexicam to classics. Food is considered Root Mexican from several Mexican regions. Guacamole is to die for.

Este lugar le hace honor a su nombre, los chapulines con guacamole y quesillo valen la pena cada centavo. Sin embargo el resto del menú que seleccionamos estuvo regular. Muy caro para la validad, porción y sabor.

First of all, great service. Very attentive and never let’s my beer go dry. The Avacado over crab and potatoes was magnificent. The short ribs were a bit salty but nothing can’t be fixed with a bite of bread. Even though intercontinental hotel standards, I say please come and enjoy

Overall Very good mexican restaurant.
Very nice presentation amd atmosphere
Entres are worth it
They do ant eggs (mezixan caviar) which we didn’t take but had it somewhere else and its not bad.

Ubicado dentro del Hotel Intercontinental, es un nuevo restaurante de comida mexicana. El local está muy bien decorado y es muy agradable con tanto verde fuera. Y la comida también buenísima: el guacamole espectacular, y pedimos un pescado que sin duda es de los mejores que he tomado en DF. Muy recomendado!
