El Kallejon

Leo is a very attentive host and a very creative chef. He has been in the neighborhood for a long time and truly makes an effort to make his space unique.

1st of all, I recommend just walking in to view this place. They have decorations everywhere, and it works. They maximized the space to have a decent amount of seating plus tables, indoors and outdoors. Yes, they have a rear outdoor patio. The staff was very polite, greeting us as we entered and when exiting. I opted for the Salmon Ceviche on the menu as Tiradito de Salmon, which was very tasty, I definitely recommend it. Since the serving sizes were smaller fine dining portions, I ordered the hard shell fish taco, Tacos Dorados, which were decent, but the Ceviche was much better.

This is a Must Go To! We had the most sublime meal ever! From the Omakase selection we had a dish called Maria Sabina? The unctuous and umami flavors surround your senses and blow you away! Wild mushrooms, goat cheese, huitlacoche, shiitake mushrooms, and truffle oil on a flatbread.The Fantastic fish tacos were great! Little bites of crunchy yet tender fresh fish with fried beans, avocado, cabbage with a side helping of sauce whose heat sneaks up on you.As for the mains we had Huipil de Maiz -Soft corn tortilla, 4 cheeses, mild tomatillo sauce, greens, crema, with Huitlacoche Y Shiitake Mushrooms. The flavor of the corn popped, the unctuousness and umami huitlacoche and shiitake covers your mouth like a food of the Gods! The main I ordered was the protein of the day, a filet of fish smothered with a red sauce of olives, onions and magic!Accompanied by small purple potatoes, a fresh green onion and fries. This was also fantastic! If you want inventive cuisine that tantalizes your palate prepared with the freshest ingredients,then make your reservation to El Kallejon! The Chef/owner is a genius worthy of Michelin stars! Atmosphere- friendly and no pretentiousness. We can’t wait to go back!

Came here for some drinks. Loved the vibe, the customer service, the music, the decor. I will absolutely come here again with friends.

Amazing food, service and ambience.

It's not often that I give a restaurant all five across the board but if anybody deserves it it's this place. This non-traditional but super authentic Mexican restaurant is probably the best Mexican food I've ever had in my life. Every single dish was delicious. The chef comes out and talks to you and is willing to make dishes to your liking. This place is so cute and fun and the atmosphere is so cozy you might never want to leave. If you go to one restaurant in 2024 this should be it.
