[6] Edgar Núñez (es) founded Sud 777 in 2008 in Jardines del Pedregal, Álvaro Obregón, Mexico City.

[8][9] Toledo describes the restaurant with a building style that is evocative of the 1940s and 1950s, similar to works by Luis Barragán, Max Cetto, or Antonio Attolini Lack.

[1] In 2016, Núñez opened Comedor Jacinta in the Polanco neighborhood, in Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City, which offers a different menu from that of Sud 777.

[10] Carlos Maribona wrote for ABC that the food breaks the mold because some hors d'oeuvres could function as desserts and vice versa, concluding that Sud 777 is the best Mexican restaurant he has visited.

The guide added: "[c]hef Edgar Núñez presides over a multicourse tasting menu" and the "space is modern and sprawling, with lofted ceilings, dark wood, and earthy colors".

The statuette's design is inspired by the pre-Hispanic sculpture The Young Woman of Amajac, in recognition of the significant contributions of indigenous women to national and international gastronomy.
