Cascabel: Reviews & Ratings
The best chile nogada I’ve ever had and the chicken Pipian was delicious.
Lovely lunch in a beautiful setting. Chef Lula Martin del Campo focuses on traditional recipes with a twist. Hand madd tortillas, exotic types of corn and very fresh ingredients are always present. Their signature salsas are on the high heat side do be ready. Enjoy!
Totally delicious: salmon with mole, steak and lobster, cantarito with mezcal. Great place to go back.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Every dish I ordered was delicious! A party in my mouth! The caramel octupus tacos are to die for! Here is what we ordered, you won't regret it: Picaditas de Cochinita Pibil, tacos caramelo pulpo, camote tatemado, tortitas de huazontle con mole (super yummy!), quesadillas de quelites gloriosos (really glorious!), ceviche de robalo con mole (quite different) my mom ordered a fish wrapped in "hoja santa" but I forgot the name and for dessert: Coricos and Texturas de Chocolate
Bartolo was fantastic. Great service to celebrate our anniversary. We will come again!! Love the evening setting.
Excellent restaurant. Pet friendly. Cozy and nice terrace. Service was great! Loved their menu, varied, and very Mexican. The “fideo seco” was delicious; also loved their beans and home made corn tortillas. The meatballs with sauce were very good and the octopus with potatoes and chorizo was perfectly cooked. Great vanilla bean ice-cream. Nice cocktail menu, I recommend the Cascabel cocktail, it was delicious. Overall, a great restauran in Santa Fe.
I decided to come here for a mexican dinner because of the gastronomic award, the homegrind sauces are taste bud intriguing! They use ingredients that are on the verge of extinction so as to create demand for farmers to keep producing their crops. I guess that's how the taste is so unique. Service is also excellent, bcoz I can't speak Spanish, staffs use Google translate to make sure I am served well. :)
A delicious place that protects Mexico’s endangered endemic beans and corn varieties. Everything is exquisite, and the pairing experience makes it even better. The spicy chocolate is spectacular, and all the wines are a delight. Highly recommended for its incredible flavors, social mission, and commitment to sustainability.
