    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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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!

    Complimentary artichoke
    Adam A.

    The ambience and decor are definitely the highlight of this restaurant, but unfortunately, the service was a huge disappointment. We had an 8 PM reservation but were asked to wait in the lounge because our table wasn't ready. After waiting for about 35 minutes, we were finally seated--but in a completely different dining area than what we originally reserved. While waiting in the lounge, I ordered a martini, which took about 20 minutes to arrive--and it was warm. We placed our dinner order, received our salads at 9 PM, and by 10 PM, we still hadn't gotten our entrees. Meanwhile, tables that were seated after us received their food first. When I asked our waiter, Ahmed, about our meals and the second round of drinks we ordered 35 minutes earlier, he said they'd be out soon. A manager eventually came by and assured us our food was coming. At 10:15--more than two hours after our reservation--our food finally arrived, and several of the steaks were cold. The manager apologized and offered us shots, but we came for dinner, not to have shots. Some of the plates had to be sent back because they were so cold, and at that point, we just asked for the check. Instead of the check, they brought out two small plates of bread and fries, which felt like a last-minute attempt to make up for the poor experience. It still took another 20 minutes to finally get the check. I understand that restaurants get busy, but communication is key. Acknowledging the delays upfront instead of making guests ask would have made a difference. If they wanted to offer something complimentary, it would have been more helpful to do it earlier while we were sitting there with no food or drinks. Overall, this was a huge miss. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant, but if you do decide to go, maybe try a slow weekday when they might have the capacity to provide better service. Judging by other reviews, though, this doesn't seem like a one-off issue.

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.

What really says it all? We loved it so much, we went back the very next day. This was the only restaurant we repeated during our week-long stay, which should tell you everything. The menu is extensive and thoughtfully curated--fresh, flavorful, and something for everyone. We tried the croissant sandwich, salmon deli nut sandwich, chutney mango deli sandwich, santos ahogados, fig chipotle deli sandwich, pear honey deli sandwich, and the spicy tuna deli sandwich. The sandwiches came with a standard simple salad. Every single item was delicious, well-balanced, and satisfying in that "clean but filling" way. The tables had two delicious spicy chili oil like condiments which elevated each of these dishes. And the juices--WOW. So refreshing, vibrant, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The perfect complement to the food and ideal for starting (or resetting) your day. If you're visiting Mexico City, Ojo de Agua is an absolute must. With such a wide menu, you're guaranteed to find something you'll love--and very likely come back for more. Highly recommend!

The lights were out in the bathroom and in part of the restaurant, so not sure if they were dealing with a partial power outage and impact to the kitchen. Still recommend for the food!

Served with flour tortillas (which are refillable) and black bean dip, you'll be instructed how to compose perfect bites. Then, choose your own adventure!

They came pre cut then reassembled so it was easy to pick them up and pop them in your mouth. The grill flavor was fantastic and we were all impressed. We finished with a slice of coconut cake which was like a caramel coated macaroon. Perfect! Large wine list by the glass and bottle, many cocktails, sangria and beer to choose from.
