Quintonil is a contemporary Mexican restaurant in Polanco, Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City. Owned by the couple Jorge Vallejo and Alejandra Flores, Quintonil started as a more casual eatery with a daily menu but has since evolved into a fine-dining destination. Its menu, which includes both {{lang|fr|à la carte}} and seasonal tasting menu options, emphasizes local ingredients and herbs.

Quintonil has received multiple accolades. The British magazine Restaurant has continuously ranked Quintonil in its list of the World's 50 Best Restaurants since 2016. Quintonil was awarded two Michelin stars in 2024, in the first Michelin Guide covering restaurants in Mexico, becoming the highest-rated restaurant in the country and tying with the Mexican restaurant Pujol.

Reception and recognition

Tiffany Yannetta of The Infatuation recommended the tasting menu, calling it "entertaining" and highlighted the Entomophagy Festival, suggesting diners try the restaurant's experimental dishes, such as bluefin tuna with frozen wasabi powder. Adrián Duchateau wrote in Afar that Quintonil incorporates local vegetable and herb varieties "as part of the progressive and sustainable eating program it so elegantly advocates".{{cite web |url=https://www.afar.com/places/quintonil-mexico-city |title=Quintonil |first=Adrián |last=Duchateau |access-date=19 May 2024 |work=Afar |archive-date=10 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231210230203/https://www.afar.com/places/quintonil-mexico-city |url-status=live}} Scarlett Lindeman described it as part of the new wave of Mexican cuisine and it is a "place to impress that's not Pujol".

A writer for Bon Appétit encouraged the reader to try "delicious new things you might otherwise skip [...] like cactus, tamales, mole, and escamoles".{{cite web |url=https://www.bonappetit.com/city-guides/mexico-city/venue/quintonil |title=Quintonil |work=Bon Appétit |access-date=19 May 2024 |archive-date=19 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220819180849/https://www.bonappetit.com/city-guides/mexico-city/venue/quintonil |url-status=live}} Leslie Yeh of Lifestyle Asia praised both the restaurant's ingredients and ambiance.{{cite web |url=https://www.lifestyleasia.com/hk/travel/north-america/6-restaurants-not-miss-visit-mexico-city/ |title=6 restaurants not to miss when you visit Mexico City |first=Leslie |last=Yeh |work=Lifestyle Asia |date=18 September 2018 |access-date=8 June 2024 |archive-date=28 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231228012357/https://www.lifestyleasia.com/hk/travel/north-america/6-restaurants-not-miss-visit-mexico-city/ |url-status=live}} César Calderón expressed disappointment with several dishes in his review for Gourmond, describing the mango iced ceviche starter as overly cold and poorly paired with the tequila he ordered. He also found the salbute with nixtamalized huitlacoche in browned butter, agave syrup, and chile mixe powder underwhelming. Calderón concluded that Quintonil "offers a pleasant, interesting, and often very tasty experience—nothing more".{{cite web|url=https://gourmandmexico.com/2016/06/14/quintonil-un-dia-despues-o-como-si-fuera-la-primera-vez/|title=QUINTONIL: un día después; o, como si fuera la primera vez|trans-title=Quintonil: One Day Later; or, As If for the First Time|language=es|first=César|last=Calderón|date=14 June 2016|access-date=11 May 2025|magazine=Gourmand}} In its list of the top 23 restaurants in Mexico City, Time Out ranked Quintonil ninth.{{cite web |url=https://www.timeout.com/mexico-city/restaurants/best-restaurants-in-mexico-city |title=The 23 best restaurants in Mexico City |first=Regina |last=Barberena |date=30 October 2019 |work=Time Out |access-date=23 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240221180954/https://www.timeout.com/mexico-city/restaurants/best-restaurants-in-mexico-city |archive-date=21 February 2024 |url-status=live}}
