Casa Prime operates inside the Hilton Reforma as a high-end steakhouse that depends as much on its dining room staff as on its meat. Ribeye and filet mignon arrive on hot volcanic stone with fleur de sel; the mixologist Charlie builds custom cocktails that diners remember by name. The experience swings hard depending on who's working that shift - when it clicks, the service ranks among the most attentive you'll find in Mexico City; when it doesn't, meat arrives under-seasoned and staff turns pushy. At 80 USD and up per cut, the math only works if you're measuring against international hotel steakhouse standards. For that traveler, it's hard to disappoint. For anyone who knows the city's meat scene, the value is debatable.
Casa Prime is the steakhouse in the Hilton Centro Histórico that earns its place as a special-occasion dinner, and the ribeye center cut on a sizzling plate with black sauce is the reason people keep talking about it
