Omg! The breakfast here is soooo good! We had the Huevos Rancheros and it was so delicious! We cleaned the plate! I also had a green juice that was really good and fresh! This place is a must try.

The food was excellent. The steak tacos were incredible. So flavorful and juicy. The chicken burrito was tasty and a large portion. We were starving and randomly ran into this place so we went inside not expecting anything great. What a surprise. This is a great place in Condesa to grab a quick bite.

Hands down the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. The huevos rancheros and Japanese pancakes were phenomenal. It is small but the decore is fun and the outside seating is lovely for people watching. Service was friendly and prompt. Even the bathroom is cute.

The best huevos rancheros I’ve ever had. That’s saying something. Meat is super tender and sauce is very good with lots of flavor without being spicy. Super nice staff w excellent service. Kids loved the silver dollar pancakes and wife said the omelette was very delicious also. Def recommend

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Delicious! Don’t be deceived by the humble appearance, small seating area, or the limited number of tables—Yellow Monkey is a true hidden gem in Mexico City! The food is incredible. We had the shrimp and beef tacos, and they were bursting with flavor—some of the best we’ve ever had. The service was also top-notch: warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. Highly recommended

Ely, our server, was very hospitable and provided amazing service. Emmanuel, the chef, certainly made us want to come back again to taste more of his yummilicious creation. Well priced and good value. If you want a variety of dishes, Yellow Monkey is the place to go.

I came here twice during my time in CDMX, and have had the best service and fantastic food both times. Highly recommend the arrachera tacos and the chilequiles. We were served by Ely who was super helpful and lovely
