Croquettes
Betsy M.

So, the 5 stars are for the service and or table location alone . While we were at a high top we were seated at an open window which we loved. We had 2 gentlemen taking care of us, and they were both wonderful and tolerant of our beginner level Spanish. Our meal was very good 3.5-4 star - we had the croquettes (based on other reviews) , the prawn risotto, and some tacos. The tacos were the star of our ordering, there were 2 of us and we split a plate of 4. They brought a variety of salsas and guacamole which took the tacos to the next level as we put it ALL on top. We finished with the Tres Leches, it was okay - but more like a regular white cake in my vast Tres Leches sampling experience. Our server brought us these cute little milkshakes after or food extravaganza and it was SO delish.

Curry fish
Katrina M.

I went here with my family and they were very kind and patient waiters while we worked through the language barrier. We were started off with a welcome artichoke which was such a nice little surprise to start the meal. We got the olives and smoked burrata which was amazing and the Rockefeller artichoke which was good, but honestly something made it way too salty. The prawn risotto was quite yummy, it came with 2 prawns. Lastly, the curry fish was probably my favorite dish!

Tuna tostada and grilled oysters
Katrina S.

One of the most beautiful restaurants I've eaten at! The interior was stunning with crown molding and hanging plants, with multiple different rooms. We ordered a variety of small plates including grilled oysters, tuna tostada, beets and burrata, empanadas, croquettes, and chalupas. The croquettes and chalupas were a standout; the only thing I didn't care for were the oysters because they were served with a heavy pour of melted cheese. We got the tres leches cake for dessert which was delicious. Service was attentive. Overall recommend!

What a gem! Gorgeous design, exceptional service, and really delicious food. Came with my husband for dinner on our first night in CDMX and they did not disappoint. People always say CDMX has some of the best food and best vibes - now I can see why. As soon as you walk in, the interior is mesmerizing! We had a reservation so we were seated immediately upstairs, just steps away from big open windows and a beautiful balcony. Our food was equally appealing - beautifully plated and very tasty. My favorite bites of the night were probably the grilled corn, the duck ravioli, and the tuna tostada. Go here!

My friend and I were in Mexico City for a few days and decided to have our final dinner at Blanco Colima,and honestly, it was the perfect way to end the trip. From the moment you walk in, you're immediately taken in by how gorgeous the space is. It's spacious and thoughtfully laid out with distinct vibes depending on what you're in the mood for. There's a chic indoor dining area, a lively room with a DJ, a more cozy private space, and a charming outdoor patio (which we chose). It's clear they've put real thought into curating a full experience for patrons. We started with the shrimp and fries, then shared the pacific red snapper, which was cooked perfectly and more than enough for two people. We also ordered the mashed potatoes and asparagus on the side, and everything was seasoned and plated well. For drinks, I had a mocktail called the Bull 0.0 which was refreshing and balanced, definitely recommend if you're not drinking alcohol. They also had three other options to choose from. Service was top-tier from start to finish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm, which made the entire experience even better. Blanco Colima is one of those places that sticks with you, not just for the food, but for the atmosphere, service, and design. If you're visiting CDMX, move it to the top of your list. I'd come back in a heartbeat.

Blanco Colima is gorgeous and offers a fun, sexy atmosphere. I dined here during a "foodie" weekend trip to Mexico City. I was excited to experience the food in Mexico City after reading about the vibrant culinary scene in the city. I was a part of a large group of around 15 guests. We ordered many items from the menu all were exceptional and unique. I ordered a steak for my entree which was also delicious. The drinks were also impressive with a nice presentation. I would love to dine here again when in CDMX.

Blanco Colima, in the heart of Roma Norte, offers upscale Mexican dining in a beautifully restored mansion with interconnected rooms, elegant bars, and outdoor spaces. The ambiance is polished yet relaxed, drawing mostly upper-class locals. We sat on the small terrace facing the street -- lively and good for people-watching, though a bit noisy from traffic. A complimentary grilled artichoke with oil and salt arrived first: smoky and flavorful, but a little too oily. We ordered sparkling water with lemon juice and the short rib tacos, which were excellent. The meat was well-cooked -- crispy and juicy -- and served with a generous amount of dill and avocado. A squeeze of lime tied everything together beautifully. It's rare to see a high-end restaurant pull off a street food classic this well. We asked for a gluten-free version, and the kitchen handled it smoothly. Service overall was attentive and considerate. The bill came to USD $33 for one dish and two drinks -- a bit steep for what we had, but not surprising for a place with this atmosphere. The only real letdown was the bathroom, which felt dated and didn't match the high-end vibe of the rest of the venue. Blanco Colima offers excellent food, solid service, and a beautiful setting -- just be prepared to pay more for the full package. #BlancoColima #RomaNorteEats #CDMXFoodie #ShortRibTacos #FineDiningCDMX #GlutenFreeCDMX #GrilledArtichoke #TerraceDining Reseña en Español Blanco Colima, en el corazón de Roma Norte, ofrece cocina mexicana de alto nivel en una mansión histórica restaurada, con salones conectados, bares elegantes y espacios al aire libre. El ambiente es sofisticado pero relajado, con una clientela mayoritariamente local y de clase alta. Nos sentamos en la pequeña terraza con vista a la calle -- animada y con buena vista, aunque algo ruidosa por el tráfico. Como cortesía, nos sirvieron una alcachofa a la parrilla con sal y aceite: buen sabor ahumado, aunque un poco aceitosa. Pedimos agua mineral con limón y tacos de short rib, que fueron lo mejor de la noche. La carne estaba crujiente y jugosa, acompañada de eneldo y aguacate en porciones generosas. Con limón, el sabor fue perfecto. No es común ver un restaurante elegante ejecutar tan bien un platillo callejero. Solicitamos una versión sin gluten y el personal lo manejó sin problema. El servicio fue atento y considerado en todo momento. El total fue de USD $33 por un platillo y dos bebidas -- algo elevado para lo que consumimos, pero esperado en un lugar así. Lo único que no estuvo a la altura fueron los baños: limpios, pero anticuados y poco acordes al resto del lugar. Blanco Colima ofrece buena comida, gran servicio y un entorno encantador -- solo hay que estar dispuesto a pagar por la experiencia completa. #BlancoColima #RomaNorte #CDMXGourmet #TacosDeShortRib #SinGlutenCDMX #CocinaMexicana #AlcachofaAsada #ComidaConEstilo

Dessert Menu
Anthony D.

A fantastic dining experience. The ambiance was great, the staff were attentive, and the food was delicious. We tried the: - Tuna Tostada - Iberian Ham Croquettes - Salmon with Tamarind Mole - Braised Short Rib - Three Milk Cake (Tres Leches) The croquettes melted in your mouth, probably my favorite of the two appetizers but the tuna tostada was very fresh with a little spice kick. The mole was rich and worked very well with the rice, while the short rib pulled apart effortlessly and was very umami. Also can't go wrong with tres leches, very moist with fresh strawberries.

A researched place we went here without a reservation but was lucky to find a place for lunch. Upscale place and the food was excellent. Drinks were great, service was excellent and the ambiance was as good as any place that is set in an old mansion

Really enjoyed my meal at Blanca Colima! Came here for a friend's birthday dinner while in CDMX and thought the food was excellent. Next time I'd request to sit downstairs which was much more lively and cute compared to the quiet upstairs room where we were ultimately seated. Still nice, but definitely preferred the ambiance downstairs. I ordered the Quesabirria and literally savored every bite. Also highly recommend the street corn appetizer - yum!

Cajeta fondant dessert
Kimberly R.

The ambience, vibes, service, and food at Blanco Colima were all exceptional. Immediately when you walk up to the restaurant, the atmosphere and vibes of the historic building prepares you for a one of a kind meal. My friends and I did the 5 course tasting meal which had a nice variety of Mexican and American dishes. The duck ravioli and cajeta fondant dessert were the stand out dishes for me! It was a fabulous way to celebrate our last night in Mexico City.

Midori G.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. The setting, whether you sit inside or outside, is gorgeous. The food pulls from Asian influences while still staying true to the roots of Mexican food and harnessing the local ingredients available. The cocktail list features many different types of tequila as well as other types of alcohol. I had a tequila espresso martini which was very yummy. My friends and I split many plates, all of which were delicious. My favorite is the hamachi. The only downside is the service is a tad slow but not worth fussing over at all. Make sure to get a reservation! If you are in CDMX, you must eat here!

Emily S.

THE TUNA!!!!!!!! If that was all they served I would be happy. Everything else was also delicious. We went for a wedding welcome party and the employees WORK! No one was standing around everyone was always doing something and so so friendly. Drinks are STRONG! Such a cool vibe in there as well, a super fun cute spot!

We then kicked things off with the arancini, which set the tone right away--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly done. For mains, we shared a spread and honestly couldn't pick a favorite: the Octopus Tacos were tender and packed with flavor, the Rabbit Tacos were unique and delicious, and the roasted seasonal vegetables "al mojo de ajo" were simple but so satisfying. The marinated pan-fried salmon and fresh trout were both beautifully cooked and thoughtfully seasoned. Every dish felt intentional, beautifully presented and well executed. But the real showstoppers were the desserts. The fresh goat cheesecake with orange, grapefruit, and lemon was bright and perfectly balanced, and the whisky chocolate crème brûlée was rich, smooth, and unforgettable. Desserts truly knocked it out of the park. Bonus points for the cocktails--my hubby was a huge fan. Great food, great drinks, excellent service and relaxed ambiance made for a wonderful overall experience. Highly recommend adding Temporal to your Mexico City dining list.

We popped in on…read morea bit of a time crunch on our way to a Lucha Libre show, so we had to skip several tempting dishes marked on the menu as taking longer to prepare. That said, I really appreciated how clearly those items were labeled--it set expectations upfront and made ordering easier given our schedule. The space itself is beautiful with an open, airy ambience that immediately sets the tone. We were started off with complimentary crispy tortillas served with both red and green salsas--a simple but very welcome touch. For food, my kids ordered the lime soup and the penne al chipotle, both of which they really enjoyed. My husband and I went for the tortas: he chose the Bacalao a la Veracruzana and I had the Cangrejo de Concha Suave. Both were delicious, with a unique twist on the classic flavors. My husband also had a cocktail that he loved. Overall, a solid experience with great food and atmosphere. This is definitely a place I'd return to when I can slow down and savor it properly.

The first time we came in shortly before closing but they were more than accommodating and sat us down right away. This is a fine dining experience and it is really cool to be able to watch the kitchen and chef at work from your table. I can highly recommend the Guac- love the little touch of pomegranate and the variety of chips to dip, the chicken lime soup was a hit with our 1.5 year old, the beet salad was delicious and the sea bass cooked to perfection. For mothers day I treated myself to a house margarita and it was delish. We also tried not one but two desserts this time, the chocolate cake with ice cream and the soursop jelly, both divine! I was excited having just learned about the soursop fruit, and how many nutritional benefits there are- make sure you give it a try if you're into pudding desserts. The next time we tried some of the same things and some new things- steak, roasted chicken, cauliflower with mole sauce (the mole sauce here was perfection) mushroom soup and the house lemonade. All fantastic, and the presentation is wonderful. We ended the evening with the hot chocolate cake which was the perfect balance of chocolate paired with ice cream- note that this dessert does take some time to prepare fresh. Planning to come back here if I am ever in the area again!

Among the taco spots that seem popular among tourists, this is my favorite. I love their al pastor tacos and the potatoes that come with any order. The tacos with cheese are extra tasty but not sure it's worth the extra cost. Service is quick and they bring your food to you after ordering at the counter. Inside is usually busy from my experience, with casual ambiance, chairs, and tables. Overall definitely recommend if visiting Mexico City!

I agree that it's good, the tacos here are really solid. They're super juicy, the tortillas are fresh and buttery, and they put these crispy onions or garlic on them which is like their signature thing and really elevates each taco. They only do three things here: al pastor, carne asada de res, and chicharron. I really like the way they slice the beef in the carne asada, I'd say that was my favorite thing here but honestly everything was good. We tried the chicharron as a costra (cheese inside the tortilla), and that made the taco a little too big and difficult to eat, still good though. They also do a stellar, cold hibiscus agua fresca. Anywhere else in the world I'd say this is an easy 5/5, but there are so many better taco options in Mexico City. In fact most street vendors and random little shops you walk into will typically give you a more authentic, rich, flavorful taco that isn't too loaded. The tacos here aren't bad by any means, they're just more a gourmet style and it's just a little touristy in there. It's not really necessary to come back here if there are infinite options for better, cheaper tacos steps away. I'm surprised locals recommended this place honestly.
