The MEX airport is under construction, so it seems all the lounges moved around. The Priority Pass…read moreshowed this lounge was elsewhere, but I came across it trying to find the Centurion Lounge. I don't know how this lounge got all the good reviews. Seating was limited. Self-served food was subpar and no dishes or utensils. The server gave us a menu and never came back to take our order. We had to order the food at the bar. (Priority Pass gives you one main dish per person and one drink per person. Other items on the menu are separately charged as noted.) I don't have a strong urge to come back. I'd rather check out other lounges if I'm back in Mexico City airport.

If you have a priority pass, then the Grand Lounge Elite in Mexico City's Benito Juarez Airport is…read morea qualified lounge. It is definitely not a bad way of killing time as they assign you a recliner seat, where you can have wait service for a limited menu of food and soft drink. Comfort level is not bad, but it was too warm for my preference. The place had no AC and it was cooled with some fans blowing lightly. If you are flying Volaris, this is conveniently located and you will find this lounge close to gate 19. They had a limited buffet of soups, salads, and breads. I didn't indulge in that. I thought of ordering a burger but ended up ordering a mollete with cochinita pibil. Wasn't bad but wasn't great either. Also got some cold water and coca cola. The coca cola was served with ice, but the fountain drinks were a little flat. Overall, the experience was okay and far better than being at the gate without inclusive food/drinks. Service was friendly and was happy to have access to clean bathrooms. Apparently, they intermittently have manicures and massages; however, I didn't see that as I came for a relatively late flight.

Not easy to find, but a lot of fun when you do!…read more One of my favorites spots, among many, in the heart of Polanco.

Jules bar is advertised as a hidden speakeasy in Polanco that is located underneath a taqueria. The…read morebar is tourist friendly and cocktails are reasonably priced. Come early as there is usually a line before entering the bar. Atmosphere: to enter into the bar, you have to go downstairs through a refrigerator. In contrast to the bright colors of the taqueria upstairs, Jules was adorned with leathered walls, studded ceilings, and skeletons as table centerpieces. While trendy, it did come off as a little cheesy. Nonetheless, decor did reflect the vibe it was going for. There was limited seating, so if you have a large party would recommend going there early if you have a big party. Later in the night, there is a DJ who plays techno/dance music tends to draw in large crowds of people. Brings in a mixed crowd. Service: Service at the beginning of the night was good, although servers were less attentive as the night got later and more people were entering the bar. Cocktails: The bar offers a good variety of drinks and cocktails--which I can see why people would want to go back to Jules again. My group of friends and I tried about 8 different cocktails and the only one I enjoyed was the Low Key. The Low Key is comparable to a whiskey soul with mezcal garnished with tamarind candy. I did not care much for the other drinks, as some of them were overly sugary.

The first time I came here was during Covid, and it was nearly empty. Now coming back post Covid,…read moreand it is packed from the rooter to the tooter and NOT in a good way as going in on a Saturday evening, it was chaotic. Knowing that only about maybe three or four workers were serving guest, you definitely got overlooked a lot when trying to order unless you really tried to flag down workers. It was as if they had tunnel vision sadly like my goodness I highly recommend trying to get a reservation that is far away from the DJ booth, because I swore they were trying to blow my eardrums off. Nonetheless I had a really great time hanging out with friends and the vibe was perfect minus, loud music. I would try to go back, but next time I would suggest definitely suggest for someone to make a reservation for us not as close as we were to the DJ booth, but still in the same vicinity if you know what I mean.

Was surprised our group was able to walk in easily and grab seats on a Saturday night but ended up…read morebeing rather disappointed by the cocktails. All the ones we tried were too sweet. My friends didn't finish their El Edén Prometido or Un Respiro. My other friend did finish her Luz De Umbral which was less sweet, and I had requested mine without added sugar so it was more balanced. The cocktails all had interesting ingredients so really wished they held back on the sugar so we could really taste the cocoa, matcha, avocado, earl grey, etc. Music was good but a little loud for a group to chat - much better for a party. Very cool decor and vibe. Staff was very nice, including the folks manning the door. Very hidden in an alley.
