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!

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!

I had dinner with a friend at Blanco Colima last Saturday night - my last meal in Mexico City before heading home. We were able to make a last minute reservation for around 6pm on a Saturday night. The building is beautiful, and I'd noticed it on previous visits to Mexico City. The inside is just as beautiful as the exterior: beautiful detailing in the walls, crown moldings, high ceilings, gorgeous art and light fixtures... We each had a glass of wine, which were good (I had a Casa Madera; they had Mexican and European options). We shared a tuna tartare, which was nice - classic, simple, well-executed. I wasn't starving, so I ordered a Caesar salad for my entree, and it wasn't a great version. The dressing lacked punch, and the lettuce was unevenly cut and dressed. I'm a Caesar lover (a good Caesar is something I actually get very excited about), but this isn't one I'd repeat. (My friend had a salmon dish that looked classic and simple but also not very exciting, but I didn't try it.) I appreciated that they brought us a few treats on the house - a roasted artichoke and a little dessert (a tiny little drink - a play on a creamy carajillo). But the service was otherwise very uneven. I think our server changed during the meal, and after the change our service was much less attentive. It took us quite a while to get our check at the end of the night even after we asked a couple of times. It was an okay meal overall, but I'd say that the highlight of this restaurant for me was definitely the space itself. Not my favorite meal in Mexico City, but certainly a beautiful restaurant with a varied menu that will likely have something for everyone.

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!

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.

The exterior

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.

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!

Very busy restaurant and located in a very lovely area. The staff was amazing and in sync. We started with some cocktails - the guava mezcalita and jamaica mezcalita and also the chardonnay that was very tasty. Here's what we had: -Tostadas de atun(tuna tostadas)- must get -Ensalada de Pulpo con patatas tibias con albhaca(octopus with potatoes and basil) - octopus wasn't very good and there was no flavor -Pescado à la talla Contramar(grilled whole fish with salsas on top)I would only get the one with just the red sauce, the green sauce didn't have a lot of flavor. This is very filling and enough for 4 people -Tacos de Pescado estilo Ensenada(fried fish tacos) - these were ok The dessert, though!! This is what the extra star is for - The Meringue with Fresas(meringue cake with strawberries)- OMG soooo good. Even after how incredibly full we were, we could not stop eating this. Delicious and so unique but with the classic flavor of strawberries and whipped cream. Don't forget to add a carajillo! À delicious coffee drink with coffee liqueur.

They clear the plates as soon as you're done. They are very attentive. They provide 5 different types of salsa and limes. Most were too spicy for me - disclaimer: I don't do spicy salsa. Those who enjoy spicy or hot will probably enjoy them.
