Quintonil Mexico City: Menu, Prices and Reservations

Quintonil’s October 2026 tasting menu, prices, pairings and dietary options, plus how to reserve through the official site in Mexico City.

Quintonil in Mexico City offers the October 2026 “Nuestro México” tasting menu at MXN 6,090 per person, with separately priced pairings ranging from MXN 2,175 to MXN 8,450. Reservations are made through the official Quintonil website, not by email. This guide uses the restaurant’s published information checked on October 10, 2026; prices and dishes may change.

Quintonil’s contemporary Mexican approach

Opened in Mexico City in 2012, Quintonil is led by Alejandra Flores and Jorge Vallejo. Its stated aim is to express the ingredients of Mexican territory through a personal culinary perspective. The restaurant describes research, technique and knowledge of Mexico’s food traditions and biodiversity as central to Vallejo’s work.

For diners considering the tasting menu, the useful distinction is its ingredient-led approach: nopal, regional beans, maize, chiles and Mexican preparations appear alongside seafood, beef and caviar. The published October menu provides a concrete picture of that approach, rather than a guarantee of every dish on a future visit.

What is on the tasting menu?

The October 2026 “Nuestro México” menu begins with preparations including charred nopal tostada with caviar and avocado, tuna chile de agua a la mexicana, and nopal leche de tigre. Other listed dishes include:

  • Mussel salbut with mole de mar.
  • Oyster “Homenaje” with salsa bruja dashi.
  • Butternut squash salad with rice horchata and chilacayote.
  • Lobster with sunflower-seed green pipián and Thai lime.
  • Steelhead trout with chicatana adobo and mushrooms pickled with fig leaf.
  • Ayocote bean and cacahuazintle maize tamal with sweetcorn cream.
  • Rib eye with black chichilo, cocopache chorizo and huitlacoche.
  • The later preparations include nopal sorbet, corn bread with nixtamal rompope, Chichicaxtle vanilla and passion fruit, and a mamey tartlet with caviar.

    Published conditions: ingredients depend on availability and freshness, so the menu can vary daily. The tasting menu is individual and cannot be shared.

    Menu prices and pairing costs

    The official October 2026 menu lists the following prices in Mexican pesos:

    | Option | Published price | | --- | ---: | | Nuestro México tasting menu | MXN 6,090 | | Non-alcoholic pairing | MXN 2,175 | | Maridaje de Vinos Mexicanos | MXN 3,140 | | Maridaje de Horizontes Líquidos | MXN 3,380 | | Maridaje Terroir & Rarezas | MXN 8,450 |

    For budgeting, adding the listed menu and pairing prices gives MXN 8,265 with the non-alcoholic pairing, MXN 9,230 with Mexican wines, MXN 9,470 with Horizontes Líquidos, or MXN 14,540 with Terroir & Rarezas. These are arithmetic subtotals, not confirmed final bills including any other orders or gratuity.

    Quintonil states that prices may change without notice. It accepts cash, debit cards and credit cards without additional payment surcharges or commissions.

    Practical recommendation: check the current menu on the official site before booking rather than treating these October figures as fixed prices for later dates.

    Reservations and dietary requirements

    Use the Reservaciones section of the official website to book. The restaurant explicitly states that reservations are not accepted by email. The supplied official information does not specify reservation release times, deposits or cancellation terms.

    The menu can be adapted for vegan, ovo-lacto vegetarian and pescatarian diets when preferences are communicated at booking. Quintonil also states that it cannot offer options excluding maize, chiles or onion.

    Practical recommendation: record dietary requirements when making the reservation. For allergies or restrictions beyond the listed adaptations, seek confirmation through the official contact details rather than assuming an alternative is available. Review the booking conditions displayed during the reservation process before confirming.
