Crescendo Álvaro Obregón Reviews
Lugar agradable y familiar Hay musica en vivo cada fin de semana .
Muy rico, buen servicio y precios accesibles
Excelente lugar sin importar el horario, en las noches la música en vivo 👌
Un lugar pequeño donde se come bien y muy a gusto. El ambiente es tranquilo, la atención amable y la comida con buen sazón. Y hoy tuve el plus de que quien haya puesto la música, puso en su lista varias de mis canciones favoritas.😁
The service was excellent, and the food and drinks were delicious. The only downsides were that they didn't have the ingredients for some drinks, and the food took a little while to arrive, but this was more than compensated for by the very pleasant atmosphere. I recommend the three-cheese ciabatta and the flavored lattes. A bonus of this place is that they have live music from Thursday to Saturday starting at 8 pm, which makes the place even more enjoyable if you like a relaxed musical atmosphere.
Excellent food, very nice atmosphere, lots of books to read, delicious coffee, very good music and of course excellent service!
It is really nice and the things there are really delicious
I regularly go on pozole days, and I've been going since the place opened, which hasn't been around for very long and has grown, but unfortunately, like everything, sometimes when you grow, you don't want to invest more. The staff is insufficient to serve the tables, and with the pozole, they give you the bare minimum (oregano, lettuce, chili powder, and a portion of tostadas). Everything else is charged separately, and the problem with the onions is that they cut them to order, but it takes forever to arrive. They even get annoyed when you remind them that you're halfway through your bowl and what you ordered (onions, more cream, tostadas, or drinks) hasn't arrived. So, my recommendation is, it's not the best food of the year, but it's affordable for the area. However, they need to improve the service, what they offer, or at least have the essential ingredients readily available.
It's a good place to eat. The service is good, the flavor is also good, and the prices are reasonable for the area. There are special offers depending on the day, so it's recommended to take advantage of them. The staff is very friendly. If you're in the area, it's a good place to grab a bite to eat.
It's a good place to hang out and they have live music and performances. I would give them 5 stars if they improved the quality of their drinks. I ordered a latte and it was extremely hot, we also ordered a chai latte and we specifically asked if their chai had an extra flavor such as cinnamon apple and stuff like that because we don't like it flavoured and they lied to us saying it was neutral flavour.. surprise! It was cinnamon apple flavoured. Still, it's a good "neighbourhood" coffee shop.
A place with a good vibe. Some service glitches need fixing, but it's understandable they're just getting started. Excellent option for a small group party. The blues band is awesome! If you're going with a group, I recommend ordering a carton of beer because the waiter gets easily overwhelmed and doesn't take orders. I'll be back!
The place is nice in general. I asked for a michelada, it tasted fine but like already opened before, told the waiter, he brought (as it should be) a new glass with lime and opened the beer bottle in front of me, then it tasted very good. I also asked for "Ensalada fresca" It would have been delicious if they did add goat cheese as was supposed to be, I had to look for it with a microscope. Told the waiter about the almost none existent goat cheese on the salad and he just smiled, did nothing about it. Also asked for the Crescendo pizzeta, stay away from it, it was a real let down. I would go back for that salad if prepared correctly, aside from that nothing really special.
The couple of times I've been there, they've served dishes with half the portions listed on the menu and charged the full price. Today I ordered huevos ahogados (drowned eggs) and it was just three fried eggs in water with chili and grease—it tasted awful. The breakfast combo was way too expensive for what they served, which tasted terrible. The service was terrible, the attention was truly awful!
