History

Los Danzantes was founded by entrepreneur Gustavo Muñoz. Originally, Gustavo wanted to open an ice cream parlor with an associate, but the project was never finished.[2] The restaurant's name, which translates as 'the dancers', is an analogy for how flavors are like a dance that combines past, present, and future while continually returning to its roots.[4] Los Danzantes Coyoacán opened in 1995 and, as of 2024, the chefs are Sergio Camacho and Alejandro Piñón.[5] It is a colonial building located in front of the Jardín Centenario park, in Coyoacán, Mexico City.[6] [7] The interior design celebrates the Five Suns, an Aztec creation myth.[8] In 2001, Los Danzantes Oaxaca opened in the historic center of Oaxaca City.[10] Suzanne Barbezat wrote for Afar that the restaurant serves reinvented traditional dishes served with artistic presentations.[12]

Michelin inspectors also visited the Mexico City branch, but it did not receive stars, adding that it "shines a spotlight on contemporary Mexican cuisine".[13] In his review for Time Out, Guillermo Di Bella rated the Mexico City restaurant three out of five stars, criticized it for not having undergone a major makeover since the 1990s.[14] While Marco Beteta recommended breakfast at the restaurant,[15] Elena Eguiarte did so for dinner.[6] María José Ferrant advised eating outside.[16]
