MX Point

Punto MX grows, evolves

MX Point grow, evolve It grows older, polished and refined . It is no longer just the Mexican who made the difference and brought us the real flavors of his land. Now it is something else. It's haute cuisine. And Mexican.

Five years ago - and it seems like yesterday - that Roberto Ruiz opened his store in Madrid and he turned what most thought was Mexican cuisine on its head. Because Ruiz, who apart from being a great cook is an intelligent person, did not focus on transferring a cookbook from Mexico to Spain but on transfer its essence, its smells and flavors, its culture and its processes , incorporating them into the local product. And, of course, he won.

During these years it has remained in constant movement. He has created the Mezcal Lab on the top floor of the restaurant Y Cascabel Hall at Goya's Gourmet Experience . He has traveled through Mexico in search of products and seeds to bring back the soul of his kitchen. up to developed a farm in Segovia where he successfully cultivates hitherto unpublished species here that he collects on his travels.

MX Point

It's not just a recipe: it's its flavors, its smells, its colors

Your pumpkin flower and huitlacoche quesadilla cause addiction and impress Prawns with guajillo chili and citrus fruits and green sole with “meneaos” beans , a skilful dish that preserves the integrity of the fish within its potency. And there's always that marrow with pickled onion, sauce and lime that here roast like nobody else and that, in season, accompany with blue corn tortillas.

The tuning in the room has also been more than remarkable. A young and enthusiastic team , connoisseur of what it serves and that works at a very good pace. And many details on the table: from the meticulous coffee service to the dazzling Mezcal cart that invites you to extend the after-meal conversation.
