Founded by Jorge Vallejo and Alejandra Flores, Quintonil offers a contemporary reading of Mexican ingredients in an intimate Polanco setting. Its cooking gives vegetables, herbs and regional food knowledge the same attention usually reserved for luxury proteins.
The Story
Origin
Jorge Vallejo and Alejandra Flores opened Quintonil in 2012, bringing together culinary development and a strong emphasis on dining-room hospitality.
Philosophy

Food Philosophy
Native plants, seasonal produce and traditional preparations are reworked with precision, acidity and textural contrast.

A detailed tasting menu presents Mexican biodiversity through both recognizable flavors and less familiar ingredients.
Design Philosophy
An intimate setting keeps the restaurant focused on the relationship between kitchen, dining room and guest.
Design & Architecture
