This restaurant in Mexico City was recommended by my son's friend. We made reservations and had dinner there. We were ushered upstairs, which is where the vibe was! The tables in the main dining room were full. There was another area, quieter, and that's where we ended up. As we studied the menu, we both looked at each other because we smelled cigarette smoke. Turns out, this was the smoking section. We immediately asked our server if we could switch tables. The manager came by and asked if we minded going downstairs, as there were no other tables. We didn't mind. Fewer people, no smoke inhalation, so everything was dandy.
Sandi and I ordered the Loin Medallions in mustard, oak-aged sherry sauce. For our side, we were intrigued by the Souffle Potatoes, so we ordered that. The medallions were tender and juicy. The sauce complemented the flavor of the meat. The soufflé potatoes were puffed up and airy. This was more of a gimmick; it was good but not outstanding. Another side we ordered was Corn with Trufa oil and Parmesan cheese. That was outstanding. We were very happy with our meal. The service was not too good. We had to wait to even get the attention of the many servers.
For dessert, we thought we would split an order of Crepes with Cajeta, a thickened syrup made from sweetened, caramelized goat's milk. Tasted like dulce de leche. It was way too heavy, rich, and sweet, unlike any crepe I have had before. This was a disappointment.
The food was very good at Loma Linda, though I think they need to improve on service and maybe alter their dessert menu.
