EL POLANQUITO — Restaurant in Mexico City

El Polanquito in the heart of Polanco is a culinary gem that delivers an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you walk in, the welcoming atmosphere and attentive service set the tone for what becomes a truly delightful meal. The staff is warm, professional, and genuinely committed to making your visit special—whether you're a local or visiting from out of town.

The menu celebrates the richness of Mexican cuisine with a modern touch. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. I loved everything I tried, but if there’s one dish you absolutely can’t miss, it’s the sopes de chorizo. Perfectly cooked with a rich, savory flavor and just the right touch of spice, these sopes are the kind of dish you’ll remember long after the meal is over. The textures—crispy base, tender chorizo, and creamy toppings—come together in perfect harmony.

Beyond the sopes, the food in general is outstanding, with each plate showcasing quality ingredients and careful attention to detail. From appetizers to desserts, everything was well-balanced and deeply satisfying.

The ambiance is equally inviting—casual yet elegant, ideal for a lunch with friends or a relaxed evening out. Whether you're seated indoors or on the patio, it’s easy to settle in and enjoy.

Delicious breakfast at a simple, inexpensive little gem in Polanco. We had breakfast here recently. I had huevos motuleños. The proprietor explained: a tortilla, beans on top, then a slab of ham, then a couple eggs, then a slice of cheese, then a mild red sauce over everything and some sliced plátanos - which tasted like they were fried in bacon grease. Very, very tasty. My wife had huevos divorciados (should I be concerned?), which she loved. Instant coffee served. A simple, very nice little place set among dozens of much fancier - and also very...
