Delicious, high quality ingredients, great drinks, excellent and kind service. Beautiful cafe seating near trees on a traffic circle. So lovely!

I loved everything about this place! There are so many cute businesses in the circle, and Melina was one of my favorites. We stopped here three times during our trip. They have lovely outdoor seating, and a great variety of cocktails, mocktails, beer and wine. We ate here one night, and was nice! Definitely prefer it as a “drinks” place, but it was nice to know they had bites too. I don’t know our servers name, but he was so kind and attentive. I recommend the banana cheesecake, and any of their cocktails.

For the fancy neighbourhood and the quality served its incredible price wise. We came here just for drinks (which were amazing) and ended up staying for food. We got the gyoza and the ceviche which were on point flavour wise and filling. The food was reasonable for the area and we got the $100 mezcalitas which were out of this world and designed by Acheil (sorry if I didn’t get the name right he is the manager and designed the cocktails). Service was quick and I cannot fault a thing about this place. It deserves way more hype. Staff speaks great English too! We will be back

Great food here, the shrimp tacos are simply the best! And the margarita’s are just divine, and that’s coming from someone who isn’t a big cocktail fan. May god bless all of the team here at this establishment and wishing them every success for the future.

We enjoyed the delicious drinks and the nice vibe at the tables in front, which made for a pleasant morning of people watching before moving on. Service was excellent & very friendly (as usual in CDMX). My wife returned after ~20 min with a lot of photos of the bathroom. 😑🤣

Gourmet breakfast! Try the French toast with peanut butter and jelly and bacon. Great ambiance with seating indoors and outdoors.

We highly recommend Melina!! Everything was super fresh and the service was amazing. We ordered the shrimp tacos, ceviche, and the lasagna, and we’d love to go back again!

Stepping Melina was like finding a hidden gem. The cozy atmosphere, perfectly complemented by an excellent music selection, immediately set a relaxed and inviting mood. It’s nestled in a beautiful plaza, offering a fantastic terrace, which I highly recommend. The service was truly great and remarkably fast. Our waitress, in particular, was absolutely amazing – attentive, friendly, and genuinely helpful without being intrusive. From the moment we were seated, we felt well-cared for. This spot clearly prides itself on both its ambiance and its efficiency. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, Melina delivers a top-notch experience all around. Good selection of wines by the glass and bottle and cocktails

Quick attentive service and gorgeous tables outside! We got a matcha with almond milk and no sugar, they made it well and hit the spot.

My fiancé and I were exploring Juarez and shopping when we came across Melina. The ambience was amazing so we decided to stop in for a drink. The server was very friendly and spoke amazing English but was also patient with our bad Spanish when we were trying to practice haha. The drinks were lovely and the vibes were amazing. It was so romantic to sit here and have a spritz as the sun set. Highly recommend coming in the early evening and sitting in the patio. The music selection was great too.

Stumbled upon this small gem of a restaurant on a beautiful plaza. An oasis on the quiet side of Juarez. This is our third time back, and each visit has been fantastic. Service is super friendly, nice drink selection, and AMAZING food!

During our stroll, we discovered this charming spot. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast, and the chilaquiles were a little spicy and very good. This place has a cute atmosphere and also offers wine and other options.

This place is new and starting with everything correctly. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are super good. I had the aguachile de filete, and it was incredible (it's a bit spicy). 100% recommended!

Buen lugar para desayunar aunque con cosas para mejorar. Los huevos benedictinos tienen un estilo diferente con tocino, lo cual no es mal, le da un buen sabor, pero la salsa, parece más tártara que holandesa como se ve en las fotos. Se antoja más con fish & chips que con los benedictinos. Sin embargo, no todo es malo, el Pan de la base es muy bueno. El Toast de aguacate es bueno, aunque posiblemente demasiado ligero. Probablemente debería tener 2 huevos en lugar de uno. El café americano está muy ligero pero el latte está bastante bien. Lo que sí es excelente, delicioso es poco, es el pan francés. Recomiendo visitar este lugar solo por probar el pan francés. Los precios son altos por la zona, arriba del promedio de otras zonas como Narvarte o incluso del Valle, pero ese pan vale la pena.

Es una buena experiencia para desayunar. Tienen mesitas afuera y dentro del local. El color verde te dá una sensación de paz. El personal SUPER AMABLE. 😍 Su café MUY BUENO. La comida está bien, no diría que super top de sabor, pero está buena y rica para dominguito. Lo único que tendría algo por decir es que fui al bañito y estaba sucio de que habían orinado con la tapa arriba y ensuciado la taza y el piso. Eso NO es culpa del restaurante, pero al ser un baño de hombres y mujeres fue como que sorpresivo, la persona antes de mí era hombre, entonces creo que eso explica la situación.

Tomamos una botella de vino por $1400 , pedimos bastante alcohol y la cuenta fue de casi $3k, la comida fue buena pero nada espectacular , la lasaña a pesar de ser salsa de tomate picaba un poco , el ceviche muy rico y fresco la combinación de salado con la piña contrastó muy bien , no creo regresar la verdad.

Queríamos probar la sopa de cebolla pero nos dijeron que no había, entonces pedimos la crema y nos dijeron que todavía no empezaban a hacerla y se iba a tardar. Así que mejor nos saltamos la entrada y el plato fuerte no decepcionó, tanto los ravioles como el espagueti blanco estaban de 💯! El pan de elote también estuvo muy rico 😋

Great location overlooking one of the city's most charming squares full of boutiques and little restaurants, so you'll be surrounded by creative young people and expats. The service at Melina is very efficient and kind. Menu is quite basic, though fresh and tasty, the roasted beet salad is great and the Lychee Pannacotta really good. Avoid the raviolis, sauce is very good though raviolis are quite tasteless. Please take it off the menu...

El lugar tiene encanto. El servicio fue rápido y cordial. Las porciones de los alimentos me parecen muy pequeñas, es como si todo el menú fueran entradas y no platillos en sí. La coctelería está interesante, los drinks a $100 estuvieron ricos.

Pedimos los chilaquiles. La salsa picante pero sin mucho sabor. Los pancakes muy secos. Precios demasiado elevados. La música súper alta para un desayuno en domingo. Servicio atento y amable.

Fui el fin de semana con amigos y a pesar de estar consumiendo un buen rato, pidiendo varios drinks y alimentos, los meseros te tratan de la peor manera. Les pides algo y te hacen caras, tardan muchísimo si es que recuerdan traerlo por qué en repetidas ocasiones tuvimos que recordarles nuestra orden. Esto a diferencia de los clientes extranjeros, por qué con ellos llegan súper amables, los atienden rápido, y les dan un trato de diez. Ojalá dieran ese mismo trato a todos sus clientes, por que el lugar está padre y los tragos están buenos, pero gracias al grosero y desatendido trato del personal, no me dan ganas de regresar.

El lugar es bonito y el personal es muy agradable, son atentos y serviciales sin embargo la comida deja mucho que desear: los precios son elevados y las porciones son pequeñas. Ok, entiendo que la Colonia Juárez está creciendo mucho y se ve mucho turismo pero al menos deberían de cuidar el sabor. No es nada extraordinario. Pedí el espagueti blanco y venía mucho más salsa que pasta. Mi acompañante pidió los ravioles de ricotta y era más salsa que nada. Como postre: el pan de elote, de lo que ordenamos fue lo "mejor". No lo recomiendo.

We stopped at this place because it had a nice vibe from afar. However, we were very disappointed to find the very first eatery in Mexico with standards way below to what we've been used to seeing. Our drinks sat on the counter waiting to be served (we saw at a distance) for at least 6 min. The food was rushed, to the point that it had to be sent back for the eggs to finish cooking, and was salty. As we began to show our dissatisfaction, the server began to have a negative attitude. Angy was incredibly attentive and courteous; and her hospitality made the experience a bit better. Mexican gastronomy is typically far beyond expectations--I hope this place would reconsider its standards and improve where it's lacking.

My table was not leveled so I had to hold my plate to eat. Had a hot coffee that wasn’t hot & Benedictine that were watery / egg was not properly cooked and most disappointing is they let ppl smoke at there table … Sunday morning 12 hang over eating my food was not happy when this table of 3 gringos lit up they smoke and no one told them a shit about + waiter was a bit akward.

Fui con mis amigas, somos un grupo de chicas de distintas partes de la república. Hicimos reserva, llegamos y a pesar de que había lugar disponible nos tuvieron esperando porque la reserva "acababa de entrar". Cuando nos dieron mesa, al poco rato llegó un grupo de chicas extranjeras a las que primero se les dijo que debían esperar pero mientras el host conversaba con ellas, terminó dándoles una mesa, diciéndoles: "¿Saben que? No importa, pueden tomarla". Increíble la preferencia por extranjeros y no por los locales. Pésima experiencia con su malinchismo.

Me siento mal por la mesera porque sólo es una y tenía que atender muchas mesas al mismo tiempo. No era amable, pero se ve que estaba sobrepasada. Sospecho que en la cocina es lo mismo, se tardaron como 50 min en un toast de aguacate que aparte estaba saladísimo, no me lo pude terminar. Originalmente íbamos a Cicatriz que está al lado, y al verdad, me arrepentí. Pedimos la cuenta y nos fuimos a El Minutito donde estuvo más rico el café.
