"Máximo Bistrot is kind of French, kind of Mexican, and one of the best spots in town for a big group lunch. The buzzing, atrium-like space is a dreamy backdrop for either meal—the tables toward the back are especially pleasant during the day, when sunshine pours in through the skylight and filters through the leaves a big, indoor tree—and even when it’s not full, it still feels like the place to be. Go for the a la carte menu if you’re there for lunch, and make sure the octopus ceviche and the gooey lamb birria sincronizada are a part of your order. " - guillaume guevara
