Read moreLovely looking restaurant with live music. It is visited by the locals and is in the "posh" neighbourhood. The place had lots of outdoor seating, but we were ushered to a seat near the stairs when there was ample seating in the middle. When we asked to sit somewhere else, it was clear that wasn't what they wanted, but they could not say anything. The reason for the 2 stars is that they give you a lovely bread basket with a range of different breads to try. However, when my sister went to bite into some of it she found a fly deep within. We told our waiter, who spoke to the manager Casandra. Casandra didn't believe that the fly was in the bread and that it must have come from outside.

Read moreNested in the center of Polanco, Saks is a traditional spot for business and family gatherings, offering very tasty Mexican dishes. We were greeted by the friendly and attentive staff who directed us to our table. It was 8:00 in the morning and it was hard to choose from the many options for breakfast. I started with the green juice and a plate of fruit which included delicious papaya, banana, grapes, and berries. My husband had coffee and orange juice. He went with the Hacienda de Puebla breakfast plate, which is eggs over medium with poblano peppers and corn on top of an enfrijolada covered by a delicious ranchero sauce. I got the huaraches with black beans and cecina topped with lettuce, avocado, cheese and sour cream. We were pretty satisfied so we ordered some pastries to go. We shared them with the family and they all loved them. A place I fully recommend. Remember to make a reservation, you have the option to choose from the main dining room and...
