This is only for grabbing drinks:…read more My friends and I only came to grab drinks before heading out to dinner in Polanco. We sat outside and ordered. We got 2 tamarind margaritas, 1 chelada and my husband got a Don Julio silver with ice and soda water on the side. It took the bartender very long to make them, and we were watching the bartender make them. For the don Julio silver drink, we saw the bartender grab another bottle instead of the DJ on the shelf, definitely not DJ. When the server came with the drink my husband asked him is this Don Julio? but we couldn't prove anything. He went to the bartender and the bartender denied. So my husband asked for another shot of DJ silver and to actually bring the bottle over so that he can see what they're pouring is what he ordered. That's when the actual bottle of DJ was grabbed from the shelf and brought over. Instead of the other bottle the bartender used. We still got charged for 2 don julios even though we know for a fact the first one wasn't. I don't recommend ordering high end liquor, they rip off tourists!! Can't speak for their food.

Simple Tradition in Roma…read more Fonda Fina, in the heart of Mexico City's Roma district, is a study in wood--walls, chairs, even menus tied together in a rustic embrace. Service is attentive, never overbearing. Complimentary chips and salsas were underwhelming, but the guacamole more than compensated: chunky, creamy, bright with lime, and served with corn tortillas so delicious we ordered an extra round, despite the stingy three-per-order. The suadero tacos, four to an order, were the undisputed star. Served piping hot with a smoky salsa on the side, they showcased meat both juicy and flavorful, the salsa layering on a subtle charred complexity. Tlacoyos de birria, also served in fours, offered hearty masa and decent filling, though the meat fell short on succulence. The red mushroom tamal, paired with a tomato-chile sauce, was the weakest link. The sauce dominated the dish, muting the mushrooms, whose "gourmet" touch clashed with the humble, comforting spirit expected of a tamal. Even with a few misses, the meal's highs outweighed its lows. Fonda Fina blends tradition and refinement into a dining experience that feels both rooted and modern--a place to which one gladly returns. #MexicoCityEats #RomaDining #FondaFina Tradición Sencilla en la Roma Fonda Fina, en plena colonia Roma, envuelve a sus visitantes en un universo de madera: muros, sillas y menús en perfecta armonía rústica. El servicio es atento y preciso. Los chips con salsas no convencieron, pero el guacamole lo rescató todo: fresco, con trozos, ácido en su punto, acompañado de tortillas de maíz tan sabrosas que pedimos más, aunque solo sirvan tres por orden. Los tacos de suadero, cuatro por porción, fueron el plato estelar: carne jugosa y sabrosa, servida bien caliente, con salsa ahumada que añadió un matiz tostado y elegante. Los tlacoyos de birria, también en cuatro piezas, destacaron por la masa gruesa, pero la carne careció de jugosidad. El tamal rojo de hongos, con salsa de jitomate y chile, fue lo menos logrado: la salsa opacó el sabor, y los hongos, demasiado "gourmet," desentonaron con la sencillez que se espera de un buen tamal. Con aciertos mayores que tropiezos, Fonda Fina ofrece una cocina cálida y refinada, que combina tradición con un aire contemporáneo, y merece volver. #SaboresCDMX #RomaGastronómica #FondaFina

We had a delicious meal: 2 appetizers, 2 mains and 2 drinks each (4 total) for about $50 USD each/ $2000 pesos total. I came for the octopus and it was super tender and also well-seasoned. We started off with the pork belly sopes which were AMAZING and sampled the beet carpaccio as well which comes with chayote (a Mexican squash I really like). My partner got the Chamorro de puerco which was a massive serving of pork shank that was tender and fell off the bone. Their "nice cocktails" were a variety of tequila and mezcal inspirations and the classic margarita does not disappoint. Our servers were attentive and checked in on us regularly- they also gave great recommendations. We came here around 6:45 on a Friday and had a reservation but could have come as walk-ins based on the crowd. I imagine it gets busier later in the evening. The tables and lighting were nice and the servers replaced the cutlery between each course.

Tacos were definitely worth it! We really enjoyed them. Also ordered their hot cakes and they were also tasty. The order comes with 3 pretty large pieces. They give you syrup and strawberry jam.

The only good meal I had in Mexico City…read more Living in San Diego and visiting Tijuana for food quite often, I guess I'm used to above average restaurant experiences. I would've thought Mexico City had great food in general, but that wasn't the case. Was there for four days, ate many meals out and this was the only one I really enjoyed. Too bad the place was so hot and stuffy. It was cooler outside than it was inside. All they needed to do was open some windows. Service was great though.

I come here for the Molé, as it is a guarantee that it's going to be good and this time was no different. We came on a Friday night, and I thought it would be packed, but there was not a soul in the restaurant. We were seated and brought tortilla chips and salsa, and ordered margaritas. The chips were terrible, basically small, uncut tortillas that have been put on the fire and were actually burned. I did get them to bring more regular tortilla chips but they weren't great either. I find it difficult to get good tortilla chips here in CDMX but hey. Things went straight up from there, the Margaritas were the best I had here in Mexico City, one of the best that I have EVER had! We ordered quesadillas for a started, they were perfect. For the main, I had my usual- Chicken Molé- and it was definitely up to their standard- and some of the best Molé I have ever had. Service was a bit hit or miss, and suddenly I looked up and the place was packed! While there are many Mexican restaurants in the Polanco area, this one is a guarantee for a great Molé!

It's a chain and located in a small mall area off a pedestrian shopping walkway/ mall. Take the escalators all the way to the top. Since you dine in, you have "free" access to their very clean bathrooms, making it another great lunch stop. We ordered 3 Flautas with cheese for 95 MXN and a small bowl of pozole for 92 MXN. The flautas were super huge, meaty, and ultra crunchy. The sheet of quesillo on top was a nice added delight. The pozole came with a side of tostados and a whole lime with a squeezer. The lime is absolutely required and adds to the layers of simple richness to the pozole topped with crunchy cabbage bits, radishes, and onions. The waiter definitely pressured us into get chips and guacamole, but the unexpected add-on was very reasonably priced and refreshing. Service was super quick and prompt. Plenty of seating is to be had here making for an even more convenient stop.
