   Absolutely brilliant experience from the cocktails and wine, to the outstanding 10-course meal, and the educational and fun storytelling from the staff. HIGHLY recommend.

   Wow. We’ve been to Del Noche and Lilia Comedor and absolutely loved them, but republica has raised the bar even higher. From the moment we walked in were treated as valued guests and received the best service we’ve had in forever. The food is world class and the chef made sure that the ingredients and preparation were the star of the show. Service was perfect. There when we needed it, not there when we didn’t. Every single person we interacted with knew everything about the menu and their pride in their workplace showed. This place is expensive, to be sure, but it’s a worthwhile treat and we’ll be back. Gracias Todos!

   Service was spot on, professional, not stodgy; food was nice but, frankly, overpriced for what’s delivered

   Too rushed. Courses came out too quickly. Could have been, should have been more relaxing. Courses could have been somewhat more robust. Hard to eat 7 courses and still be hungry. But food was excellent. Wait staff great and attentive but food descriptions were fast / rushed and thus hard to hear and take in.

   What a great special occasion place. Definitely a food exploration of flavors. Reminds me of Pujol in Mexico City

   República is absolutely incredible—an experience that is pure magic from start to finish! The food is nothing short of exceptional. Service is outstanding as well. They go above and beyond. If you’re looking for a dining experience that will blow you away, República delivers on every level. This place is a true gem, and I can’t wait to come back! ✨

   Amazing atmosphere. Thoughtful food with immense details about the history and historical context for food. Complex and complimentary dishes that were stunning. Service had great attention to details and service. Highly recommend!

    I booked this to celebrate my 2 year anniversary with my boyfriend. I am not a huge fan of Mexican food but he’s been wanting to go and we’ve loved other prix fixe experiences we’ve done. The restaurant was cute and nicely decorated. The servers were friendly, knowledgeable, and gave a little interesting history for each course. The cocktail menu was phenomenal and the servers were very helpful in choosing a glass of wine. However, the portions were very small, typically 1-2 bites, no more than 4-5 bites per dish. Never have I previously left a tasting menu experience still hungry. We were both underwhelmed by the food. There wasn’t really a standout dish at all and only 2 dishes left us licking our lips wanting more. The main protein dish was also underwhelming and a rather minimal amount of protein. The pacing was a little off and took longer than it needed to given the tiny portions. Lastly, while I appreciate attentive service, the attention to filling the water glasses was laughable. They would come fill it up again after you’d taken just a sip or two. This often interrupted our conversation and was awkward. They did kindly offer a small glass of champagne to each of us for our anniversary, which was very thoughtful. I went in with lower expectations knowing my personal food preferences (I did try everything and ate almost all of everything). He went in with high expectations. We both left disappointed.
