Fideo Gordo: Reviews & Ratings
Best noodles I have had in Mexico City. Went on a slow night so service was great. Chosu was nice, as well as the tamarindo. Tamarindo had almost too much flavor but again the noodles are just so good. Con: it's very expensive
What a great place! The food is very unique and combines Asian and Mexican flavors. We enjoyed gyoza with salsa matcha, chicken katsu fried in pork fat and crusted in chili-lime with a sweet/spicy cucumber sauce, and wide noodles with spicy tamarind sauce, vegetables, and tofu. The blend of different cuisines felt natural and well conceived. The Paloma cocktail my wife had was just ok. Service was very warm and helpful and I loved the music choices by the owner, played from a vinyl collection! Great vibe, overall. If you are in the mood for something beyond tacos and typical Mexican cuisine, this is a great choice!
Amazing biang biang and udon noodles with a Mexican twist. I absolutely loved this fusion. Highly recommend, especially if you're craving something that's not solely Mexican but still want to take advantage of being in Mexico. This was a highlight of our trip to CDMX and high on our list of recommendations for friends.
Wonderful dinner experience. Rib eye and tres chilies was outstanding. Also crab bao and crudo Vietnamese style was delicious.
Serious udon kishimen restaurant. The tempura udon broth is incredibly balanced, also sushi temaki box was so fresh and delicious.
I went to try ramen but I found noodles with birria and it was so good, definitely I’ll Combe back soon to try something nice
We ordered several things to share and everything was absolutely delicious. Even though it was very busy the service was excellent. The waiter was amazing and very mindful of my allergies.
Every dish is a work of art, meticulously crafted with flavors that are bold, delicate, and perfectly balanced. The ingredients are impossibly fresh and the textures divine. Whether it’s the melt-in-your-mouth crudo de pesca del dia, the rich noodle broths, or the innovative small plates bursting with creativity, each bite takes you on a journey unlike anything I’ve ever encountered! Fideo Gordo is operating on another level entirely!!!
