Polished hotel restaurant on Reforma with broad Mexican menu and some Spanish touches; food is good but inconsistent, service can lag, and parking is pricey.
Los Canarios Marquis Reforma delivers solid comfort dining with respectable food quality in an elegant Reforma hotel setting, but inconsistent execution—particularly with proteins and timing— and frequent service slowness prevent it from reaching higher territory. The broad Mexican menu and prime location appeal to business diners and families, though recent brunch discontinuation and variable service reliability temper the overall experience.
Set along Reforma inside a polished hotel, Los Canarios feels elegant yet easygoing, the kind of room where business meetings roll into family dinners. Service ranges from attentive and warm to frustratingly slow, and a few diners lament changes to the once-famous brunch. A guest summed it up: "Great setting on Reforma, but execution varies." The cooking leans elevated traditional Mexican with Spanish accents and hotel classics: cecina with chilaquiles, tacos de gaonera, rib-eye, and seafood like robalo or salmon. When the kitchen is on, flavors land clean and satisfying; when it is not, steaks run dry and pasta turns forgettable. Expect solid comfort with some premium touches rather than showy innovation. For families, the broad menu helps: kids often settle into pasta, milanesa, enchiladas, or simple tacos. Portions are reasonable, and breakfast options abound. Do note the price point and valet charges; if you have picky eaters, you will still find familiar choices without pushing into adventurous territory.
