Porfirio's — Restaurant in Naucalpan de Juárez

Very disappointing experience, our first time in Porfirios and definitely our last. The concept - upmarket food served in elegant surroundings - is completely undermined by the giant screens playing inelegant music videos at a volume that makes conversation impossible. Do I really want to eat while George Michaels "I want your sex" blares out around me, complete with 20ft high close ups of women's backsides towering in my eyeline? Does anyone?

So, the atmosphere is catastrophically, confusingly, gormlessly, tragically misconstrued. Classless in the extreme. What about the food? Here, there was hope, the squash flower soup was ok, the quesadillas included in the (on the surface decent value) executive menu were good, even. The house red was good, for Mexico. But everything fell apart with the main course. By some distance the worst picaña I have ever eaten. How they got such an iconic cut so wrong is beyond me. Google picaña and you'll find thousands of sites telling you exactly how to prepare it, and it's pretty foolproof. What you don't do is treat it like other steak cuts, or you'll ruin it fast. Someone should tell the chefs of this chain, because they found a way to turn it dry, tough, with a bitter burnt crust that left me speechless in its incompetence. A travesty to treat a fine cut this way. This could be a one off but the mole they serve has no depth whatsoever, tastes like the cheapest Doña Maria from a supermarket. So two mains, zero marks

This is not a serious restaurant, despite the serious prices they charge. They care more for the theatre than the taste or quality. Esquites are served from twee little mini trucks. Meats are served on sizzling skillets, but without any regard for the extra searing/cooking they will thus receive. This is a food circus, not a serious restaurant, gussied up in fancy threads. A schizophrenic experience that just left me confused, annoyed and...

I wanted a special place for the anniversary with my boyfriend, so I chose Porfirio's restaurant in Toreo. It's very quiet, so it was easy to get a reservation. The music they played was of all genres so the atmosphere was very good, it was really good and the service was excellent, the quality of the food is exceptional, as well as the variety of dishes, the attention is good and the decoration of the place and the theme of some dishes is something to highlight, since it alludes to Mexican traditions. We ordered green enchiladas and chicken enmoladas, for dessert a chocolate cake and a tres leches cake with eggnog and we drank Dulce Encanto tequila. It was quite a delicious meal and the price was $750 , so it was good value for money.The staff that attended us was very good so we tipped him! We loved Porfirio's. I really recommend it for a special occasionwho you were with the type, choice and quality...

We walked in on a Sunday at 8:40, and were about to be seated when a waitress came saying that their kitchen was closed and that they close early. We were surprised because we were already about to be seated by one waiter. The restaurante closes at 10 and 8:30 is early to close the kitchen. The behaviour of the waitress was very unprofessional. We were looking forward to dining there as their menu looked very appealing, but are very discouraged to go there in the future because of the staff...
