La Buena Barra surge como una nueva propuesta gastronómica de comida mexicana en una ciudad con reconocidos restaurantes que manejan dicha especialidad ,por lo que teníamos que dotar de una personalidad muy particular al espacio que estábamos interviniendo de manera que desde la primera visita se distinguiera de los demás, tanto arquitectónicamente como culinariamente. La propuesta gastronómica que ofrece La Buena Barra es amplia, va desde los sabores clásicos regios como carnes al carbón y salsas de chiles piquines, recorriendo cuidadosamente la República con platillos típicos de la cocina mexicana reinventados por nuestros chefs.

One day in November 2023, something like this...Your eyes wake up and the immense sea and the sky and the stars.In your hands there is a bivouac of butterflies flying and transforming.Your smile in a rainbow after the rain.Your eyelashes, fairies that shake their transparent wings.From your lips sprouts a liquid and warm moon version.Kissing your cheeks is eating a ripe fruit with a lot of craving in spring.And your feet... oh, your feet.When you least expect them, I'll put them on a tortilla.To my honey panther...Because I still can't explain how I could live without you.Carmela DeMorada is dedicated to Martina, my daughter, who has just been born and who,thanks to the fierce cravings of pregnancy, was that she emerged from this menu.Of chili, lime and tears of joy.Carmela DeMorada and Martina came early, arriving just when it was meant to be, neither before or after.With love...

    With a view over the zocalo and cathedral the setting is fabulous. The menu was creative and both of use the 4-course tasting menu. The food was very well cooked and presented. The drinks were reasonably priced for a restaurant of this calibre. Waitstaff were numerous and attentive, although service was a little slow, hence not a perfect score

    Everything was fantastic but the music was too loud - could have used a little less loud music. But the food, drinks and service were fantastic.

    Beautiful space, spectacular views, excellent food and cocktails, and the service was polished and gracious. Dinner options are relatively few but they were excellent. We also had breakfast here several days and each time it was terrific. The experience was so good that we had dinner here a second night in addition to enjoying cocktails and dessert late at night looking over the lights of Mexico City every night as our "nightcap."

    we have the squash blossom appetizer which was incredible as well as the shrimp cocktail which was completely out of the ordinary but amazing as well. the salsas they bring to the table are all different and delicious! for out entrees we had the flank steak and the fried chicken risotto and loved both of them. the service was top notch from the moment we sat down and the house dessert was subtle and one of the better desserts I remember having in quite some time. I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to come back in the future!
