I don't recall how much the wine pairings were; those were not formal pairings, but what the sommelier served us by the glass. A tasting menu at Quintonil, where we dined the day before, was MX$2250 or MX$3650 with the wine pairing. The first time that we dined at Pujol, in 2017, the menu was 1835 MXN.

AmexMexing pre-departure light dinner. Tomato y cheese salad with tuna tartare. Tomatoes were tasteless (probably grown for the US market) but tuna was great.

Dinner was the "slim's meal" from Slim Chickens. I haven't had a chance to go grocery shopping this week, so some fried chicken and french fries sounded good...and it was! Back to my usual salads and healthy foods next week
