Agrotaberna Monstruo de Agua is an artisanal agrotavern committed to sustainability and the revaluation of Mexican farmers, designed by Tuux.
Located at Amsterdam 46 in the heart of the Condesa neighborhood, you can find a convivial gastronomic space where awareness of processes and the consumption of products grown in vital harmony with nature is promoted.
Through fair and traceable trade, this business fosters friendly collaboration and the dignification of origins: the transformative forces of our Mexican culture and its delight. With this in mind, Tuux created a concept that reflects the richness of this diversity.
Taking advantage of the variety of national flora and fauna, Monstruo de Agua produces a wide variety of craft beers and seasonal dishes that pay homage to the variety and richness of Mexican farm products.
The essence of the axolotl is felt in every corner of the space. The variety of seating reflects the inclusion of diverse characteristics and personalities in coexistence. The walls serve as canvases; some tell the story of the brewery, while others exhibit pieces by local artisans and artists. It is a living collection in constant change.
The interior finish along with the soft lighting favors the feeling of intimacy, the accent walls bring vivacity and texture, and the vines hanging from the ceiling reaffirm the natural intention.
Following the principle of traceability, materials such as solid teak wood from FSC-certified forests in the Tabasco region, melina plywood, synthetic wood made from recycled materials, black stone and granite for surfaces were used. Stools and rugs made of tule woven by artisans from the State of Mexico. Blown glass pieces made from recycled glass, locally manufactured.
