We were served blue corn tostadas with a few different sauces - all of which were tasty, especially the spicy creamy green one. We then ordered appetizers to share. All were tasty but hands down my favorite item was the pulpito. The octopus was so tender and went perfect with the little potatoes. I also really liked the rib eye tacos which came with the best red spicy sauce and the tiradito which is a campachi Crudo. From the cebiche tasting platter (no photo), I liked the atun the most. Of course we ordered desserts as well. I actually cannot remember the names but will comment on them with the attached photos. One I' didn't get a photo of was a chocolate dessert. It was very good but rich. If you're in the neighborhood I suggest trying this spot out.

I had the octopus tacos and octopus peanut tacos. I couldn't even manage to finish either as they were so bad. The flavor just wasn't it. I pulled out some of the octopus to separate it from the other items and it wasn't any better on its own. I also noticed that they were among the two most expensive items on the menu which makes me suspect the waiter was just directing me to the most expensive items rather than the most popular, which is what I inquired about. Don't recommend, would never come back here again.

Cornmeal Gold in Polanco…read more Órale Arepa offers a polished setting in Mexico City's high-end Polanco district, and with that comes a matching price tag--nearly $50 USD for a late lunch for two. Expected for the neighborhood, but steep for what is, at heart, elevated Venezuelan street food. We ordered the arepa tasting: six warm, griddled half-arepas served like DIY fajitas, with two meats, three cheeses, and three house-made sauces (chipotle, garlic, and avocado). The format encouraged creativity, but 60% of the offerings leaned on cheeses--mostly mild, forgettable, and largely untouched on our plates. The grilled and pulled meats were solid, as were the arepa bases: crisp-edged, warm, and fragrant. The sauces helped pull it all together, though often had to do too much of the flavor work. A side of avocado and underripe tomato did little to elevate the meal. Service was attentive and kind--our server's advice not to over-order was spot on. But while the experience was pleasant, the food fell short of memorable. For the price, there simply wasn't enough depth or distinction. A generous 3 stars. #PolancoDining #ArepaReconsidered #CDMXEats Oro de Maíz en Polanco Órale Arepa se presenta con estilo en la exclusiva zona de Polanco, y su precio lo refleja: casi $50 USD por un almuerzo tardío para dos. Comprensible por la ubicación, pero elevado para lo que esencialmente es comida callejera venezolana, por más refinada que sea. Elegimos la degustación de arepas: seis medias piezas servidas como fajitas para armar, con dos tipos de carne, tres quesos y tres salsas caseras (chipotle, ajo y aguacate). Aunque el formato es divertido, el 60% del contenido se basaba en quesos poco memorables que apenas tocamos. Las carnes cumplieron y las bases de arepa fueron lo mejor: calientes, bien cocidas, con aroma y textura. Las salsas hicieron lo posible por levantar el conjunto. El acompañamiento de aguacate y jitomate no aportó mucho, especialmente con el jitomate sin madurar. El servicio fue atento y honesto--nos advirtieron amablemente sobre las porciones--pero la comida no alcanzó el nivel que el precio prometía. Una experiencia correcta, sí, pero sin el impacto que esperábamos. Tres estrellas, por mérito del servicio más que del sabor. #ComerEnPolanco #DegustaciónSinSorpresa #CDMXFood

For appetizers, we ordered the tostones con guacamole (green fried plantain slices with guacamole) and tequeños de cachapa (sweet corn cheese sticks) & I am so glad about that choice!! As someone who detests bananas and plantains, the tostones were actually delicious! Not a strong banana/plantain taste and the little coleslaw + guacamole were a great touch. I honestly cannot say enough good things about the fried cheese sticks. The mix of sweet and savory was perfection! Now, onto the star of the show: the arepa llanera. WOW. Just absolutely incredible. The arepa itself was delicious and crispy, the cheese was so good, and the beef was marinated and perfectly tender. This place is a must go in CDMX!

The cocktails were ridiculously creative (including ingredients like soursop juice, eucalyptus, charred pineapple, worm salt, basil, cucumber etc--obviously not all in the same cocktail), and served in dramatic glasses with fun garnishes. In terms of food, we were four people and we shared four starters (yellow-fin ceviche, kampacho and blue fin sashimi (which they call laminadas), and a shrimp "envelope"--each one was remarkable, and served with flavorful sauces that complimented the dish. Our mains were also good, though not as spectacular--they offer Catch of the Day (mahi mahi today) prepared in three different styles. The plain one (pan seared with shallot butter) was nothing special, but the option served over spinach with a cream sauce was incredible. The grilled shrimp main was also excellent as was the chocolaty dessert. Overall a delightful meal with excellent service and cocktails!

Turns out everything we had was really fresh and delicious. Personal favorites were the Camarones al Ajillo, the Pulpo, the Yellowfin ceviche, the Mahi-mahi, and the suckling pig. Which was basically most of what we ordered... Taking off a star because there were a few options on the menu that weren't available, which was a little disappointing. And despite how delicious everything was, it was all fairly simple and traditional, without much wow factor to account for the higher prices. The service was fantastic as well, however, so this is a definite recommend!

We had to wait quite awhile (maybe 20 minutes) at the front for a table to open up, but there was plenty of décor to photograph in the meantime. We were escorted upstairs. Our bench table overlooked the rest of the venue. So colorful and breathtaking!! Love all the Instagrammable plant walls with neon lights. The menu for this place is insane. So many different vendors to order from. The waitress came by, and I gave my partner the freedom to order a cocktail for me. And our shared food, for that matter. The cocktail was pretty good. I'm especially obsessed with the stylish mug it came in. For dinner, we shared a Brazilian dish containing stredded beef, black beans, white rice, egg, yucca, and plantains. SOOOO delicious. My mouth waters just writing this review. Service is great but slow as expected in CDMX. Overall I can't wait to come back and try many more menu items!!

Nice buttery, flaky crust and succulent meat. Well seasoned. We then decided to try some of the Argentinian chorizo that came with a simple salad of lettuce and tomato dressed with some olive oil. The sausage was probably the worst part of the meal, but that's like saying a Mercedes is the worst car among a bunch of Ferrari and Lamborghinis lol. The star of the night was the prime ribeye, that came the table with Serrano peppers and grilled onions. Beautiful great flavor, high-quality beef! Pure well seasoned beef flavor! We also decided on a side of soufflé potatoes. Now this isn't like a soufflé as much as it was like french fries that were puffy and like little pillows. They were good if not, perhaps a bit under seasoned. They tasted much better when I spooned a little the Housemade chimichurri sauce over the top. End of the night with a dessert of tableside flambé Crepe Suzette! Very delicious very traditional with the Grand Marnier and the Brandy served with some really good vanilla ice cream. Wash it all down with a bottle of 2021 Primeras Viñas Cabernet Sauvignon from Bodega Lagarde. The meal from start to end was wonderful and delicious. Service was impeccable everyone very friendly and attentive. If I'm ever back in Mexico City, which I will be because of future business dealings, I will certainly stop by once again!
