Animal - Masaryk · Restaurant · Mexico City
Open-fire grill meets sushi, then turns into a party
Animal sits a block off Masaryk on Calderon de la Barca and is built to do two jobs in one night. Early it is a grill house: a wood and charcoal kitchen sending out tacos de trompo, short rib dumplings, tuna tostadas and cuts cooked over open fire. Later the lights drop, the DJ takes over and the dining room slides into a party without anyone having to move rooms. That deliberate handover is the whole concept.
The cooking is Mexican with a serious Japanese streak, and Google carries it under both categories for good reason. A full sushi and nigiri program runs alongside the grill, and the two halves of the menu are meant to be ordered together and shared. Desserts are oversized on purpose, with the pistachio cake the one dish regulars order without reading the list.
The crowd is Polanco
Address: C. Calderon de la Barca 108, Polanco, Polanco III Secc, Miguel Hidalgo, 11570 Ciudad de Mexico, CDMX, Mexico City
