Such an extra bonus to our first time trip to Mexico City! We found ourselves ending the night (x3!) @Karisma! The food, atmosphere and hospitality were amazing! Bartender Pancho, server Elou and Rodolfo were all extra accommodating. They remembered our drinks, took song requests & danced w our group Thanks again, we can’t wait to come back!

In our travels we have been to many small places, but no other has such a special place in our hearts than Karisma. This place has it all. Great food, fantastic staff, and stiff drinks is what to expect when you visit this wonderful restaurant. I could not more highly recommend it!

This amazing place is everything you need when visiting : a great place to go when you land & have checked into your hotel then head to for TeKila, Victorias & Fantastic cuisine. The Oxacan Filet is my go to and is complemented with the smoothest creamiest mushroom sauce. It comes with french fries and salad but I prefer to sub the fries for an extra salad to balance out the decadence of the sauce. The Jose Filet is my other Rec as this goes more into a tomato Italian blend but both with a nice Mexican twist. The bartenders are kind and generous with their pours.

First and foremost - it opens early, for brunch or lunch; we had lunch at 10am. The steaks were done great! The one I order was a flank steak where they cook it on a hot plate right in front of you. The flank steak is a little saltier than the steak with the mushroom sauce and salad, but it was cooked perfectly. Haven't tried all the menu but the waiters were extremely friendly and speak a little English. Overall a wonderful experience!

Second customer service if you go please ask for Axel we speak English and he really went out of his way to help us pick the most delicious dishes they prepare. And last the atmosphere and location are perfect.

Great place to eat. I will be back. Service was extremely attentive. English was good. Flavors were great. Lots of complimentary chips and salsa! We ate Tacos AL pastor and very soft flank beef tacos. Exceptional. I ate way more than I needed but I wanted to try some more great flavors!
