Both the food and the service at Insurgentes 21 is impeccable, we started with the tortilla soup which was one of the best I have ever had, very flavorful and perfectly prepared. Then we had the lomo tacos which were delicious, for the next course we had the picanha with a side of Mac and cheese and the bone marrow, this is our second time having the picanha and it was even better this time, absolutely perfectly cooked, and very high quality beef. The Bone marrow on tortillas is incredible too, and we put a little bone marrow on our beef and it was outstanding as well. I'm usually disappointed with restaurant mac & cheese but this one was outstanding, very cheesy and with a Mexican twist, the spices and jalapeños they used really enhanced the flavor. I also tried the Insurgentes Paloma which was very good and finally the wine by the glass is outstanding it was reasonably priced and a broad selection which is often rare to see. I can't recommend this restaurant enough.
