Came back to Comedor Jacinta on my recent trip to Mexico City and I have to say the food isn't as good as I remembered. The small plates are still tasty and unique but the flavors and portions have gone down. I got the bone marrow sopes, sopa de lima, oxtail gorditas, and beef tongue for tacos this time around. Everything was good, especially the beef tongue tomato stew which was super flavorful. The beef tongue was perfectly tender and so yummy with the broth. It was a bit odd to eat this in tacos though considering there was so much sauce but good by itself as well. The only dish I didn't like was the bone marrow sopes which this time around felt much smaller than when I had it last. There was barely any escamole which we added on and the bone marrow pieces were so small. While it was one of my favorites the last time I visited, I wouldn't get it again. read more

We had an esquisite lunch here today after a long bike ride which started at the other end of the city. This restaurant was actually located at the end of our route. We could have probably kept going but we decided to stop here instead. This restaurant was super chill, and even a few people had their dogs with them. We had just missed the breakfast time, and we instead ordered from their lunch menu. I decided on the tacos de tuétano which included salsa molcajeteada and quelites. My best friend and riding partner ordered something even bigger. The Gordita de guisado de res and it looked yummy. The food and service were outstanding and we would recommend this restaurant to all bike riders! read more

You have to eat here. I had the beef tongue tacos as a starter and they were amazing- the corn tortillas alone were worth it. Then I had the chicken en mole. I'm a mole connoisseur and this was one of the best. read more

*** Michelin Bib Gourmand *** For my 1,500th review, why not write about my favorite Mexican restaurant that I've ever been to? Located in the trendy, upscale neighborhood of Polanco in Mexico City, Comedor Jacinta is actually the best place I've dined at in all of Mexico. To eat, the two of us split the Octopus "molcajete" in Adobo and the Bone Marrow Tacos. To drink, a Jamaica Mezcalita. Not only was the food word-class, but the drinks were some of the best I've had. Portions were generous, service was impeccable, and the ambiance was on point. If you're ever in Mexico City, definitely give this restaurant a try! read more

Ate dinner here tonight. Pretty average experience for vegetarian food at least. The tortilla chips were the best part, the highlight. The spicy salsa was good too. Got a glass of Tempranillo and that was good. Ordered Chile and cheese Enchilada, what come out looked like fried dumplings and were tasteless. The Chile Rellano was below average as well. The Spanish rice had zero flavor to it. The server was very friendly. decent ambiance. Not impressed with the experience. Not sure why my hotel recommended this restaurant. read more

Good service, the food is delicious and the prices are reasonable for the area. This time we came for lunch but I also recommend their breakfast. Nice decoration all the way to their bathroom.

Comedor Jacinta is located in the neighborhood of Polanco, a shock to the senses after spending time in Escandon and Hipodromo. I thought I was in Miami Beach, and all I heard spoken was English. Where did Mexico disappear to? A ton of restaurants were on the blocks surrounding Comedor Jacinta, and again I thought of Miami. We took a lovely seat outside overlooking a crossroads of wealth and glitz. The extensive menu took a while to navigate, but eventually we ordered an assortment of tostadas, tacos, and enchiladas. Comedor even served sour cream. Okay, maybe not Miami, perhaps Cancun. Authenticity aside, the food tasted good, and the restaurant was lovely. I might never return to Polanco or Comedor, but that's because I like Mexico City much better than Miami or Cancun. However, most Americans would love Polanco and Comedor Jacinta. read more

Great service, yummy food. This is a great restaurant. The costumer service was 10/10. Family friendly. Everything we had was delicious. From the agua fresca to the arrachera, and chips and salsa. I don't think you can go wrong with anything they offer. They also have a comida corrida option. read more

Amazing service ! Delicious food. For the taco trio the lechón and cochinita were the best. The turkey one was good too I just love pork based taco. Lime soup was light. Husband devoured the bone marrow tacos said that it was just delicious. Ambiance was nice. You can sit inside for a quiet meal (very pretty) or sit outside to see the street. PS: If you sit outside though, you might get a small number of people trying to sell you stuff or children asking for coins. read more

As a Mexican, I appreciated this place: its concept, its service, the variety of its food without losing the Mexican touch, its prices, and the fact that I didn't speak English and they didn't treat me differently. Bonus: they welcome you with a courtesy chicken broth, accompanied by tostadas, cream, and homemade sauce. For lunch, I had "Ensalada de camote y espinacas," Chile Relleno (de fide seco) en salsa de frijol -a big flavorful surprise! I asked for hot salsa, and they brought me a delicious roasted habanero chile sauce. I also enjoyed "Jarrito Loco" (tequila, pineapple juice, coconut cream, passion fruit, and grapefruit soda). I highly recommend it! read more

Fantastic experience at comedor jacinta. Food was delicious and spoke for itself. The bone marrow tacos and flan were to die for. I wish there was more pulpo in our molcajete de pulpo. The cocktail had chapulines on top which was fun. Would definitely eat here again. read more

My sister found this place browsing for dinner spots for my bachelorette and when I saw the culinary experience this would be, I said we have to go. We made reservations for 9 and they took us right away. The interior of the restaurant is so cute and beautiful and the servers were very attentive. We started off by ordering drinks and they brought us housemade tostadas with salsas de San Luis Potosí and I freaking love that. All of their food is so authentic and unique, they have dishes you wouldn't even imagine have been created. The table got an assorted spread so we kind of just shared a bunch of bites. I think we ordered a little too much, but so worth it. A few of the dishes we tried were the gorditas (amazing) quesadillas de jaiba (amazing), tostadas de atún, the molcajete with beef and guacamole (amazing) filete de atún con jicama, sopa de chicharron prensada(amazing), tlayuda, un pescado en arroz (bomb) I would definitely come back. It is also in a location close to many other restaurants and bars! read more

I'm so glad to have bumped into this restaurant. When I noticed the Michelin restaurant, i decided to give it a try. I had the Lima soup and tacos chicharrón and they were absolutely delicious. Everything was bursting with delicate flavors. I plan to go again before i return to NYC. This was also the most reasonably priced Michelin restaurant that I've had the pleasure of eating at. The servers are very helpful and the food arrives quickly. read more

Food is ok, service is good. BEWARE price they "quote" you on alcohol, especially tequila shots. Make sure you see printed amount prior to ordering or waiters will claim "miscommunication" and you'll end up being screwed. There are other, better restaurants nearby. I prefer La Unica read more

Come here for the entrees: the beef tongue and the suckling pig are terrific. Melt-on-your-tongue meats, wow. Both are unmissable. The other dishes we had were just okay (the scallop tostada was great; the tuna tostada not so much - overly salty, with a predominant flavor of cilantro; we didn't care for the oxtail Gorditas either - there was a strange funk to the meat; it didn't seem spoiled, but it didn't taste delicious). Service is friendly and helpful. It's a nice neighborhood restaurant experience overall - the space is indoor/outdoor, with good people-watching opportunities, if that's your thing. read more

Literally just wandered into this place after an afternoon of wandering around the city. Initially we were only going to have a snack and a beer. A couple of hours later we were stuffed and well watered. We started off with a couple of beers and a tuna tostada on a handmade tostada. My tostada was slightly extra toasted at the edges which left a wonderful smoky taste to each bite. My partner ordered the bone marrow sopes topped with escarole (ant eggs) which was so yummy! Next up was the Fideo Secco which was very interesting. Kind of a pasta with ancho crema y queso fresca, beef reduction and mushrooms. Delicious but a milder dish than expected. Next was the Chile pastilla, a tamale with sweet corn and crema. Crave worthy! The final dish for my partner was tacos de tuetano which was a surprise of four big, split bones containing marrow, corn, salsa molcajeteada y quelites. Served with tortillas to be consumed as tacos, I did not think he'd be able to put it away but he did. We had two more craft beers, a shot of tequila blanco followed with a spicy tomato based chaser. Totally drool worthy and if that wasn't enough, they surprised us with a little after snack of fried grasshoppers served with limes and anchiote salt. Super tasty and perfect with the tequila. Service was impeccable with friendly and helpful wait staff. I would highly recommend this little gem in Polanquito! Will be back for one last meal before I leave! read more

We came here for a birthday party and loved the restaurant. It was beautifully decorated and got a great table overlooking the chefs. The menu was a little confusing for us Americans. The service was great and food was tasty the portions were small. We did order the chili rellenos and they were NOT Chile rellenos they were noodles shaped like a chili w maybe some chili in it. Very fancy menu where items aren't what they seem. read more

Comedor Jacinta was a recommendation from a good friend of mine from CDMX. Short version of the story is that in a period of a week visiting the city I went there 4 times and took there with me 3 different groups. Everyone absolutely loved it (including some locals that couldn't believe they didn't know it). You can eat inside or outside and it is located in one of the nicer areas of Polanco. It's really difficult to list the best because everything is simply amazing. With that said I absolutely must name a couple: - lechon rostizado (suckling pig) - tacos de tuetano (bone marrow tacos) - molcajetes de molengas fritas - flan for dessert is a must Drink? You MUST try their Mezcal!!! Enjoy!!! read more

I was looking for a place that would have good food and a cool relaxing ambiance. Well this is not it. I ordered the beef tongue which was very good, the sauce is a must but I have to say the side dishes (rice and beans) were not fully cooked. The service was not good, the waiters were not attentive at all. I sat outside to enjoy the sun and fresh air but instead got bombarded with people attempting to sell stuff and beggars :( Oh yeah, almost forgot, Polanco must be the "bring your dog out on a date" because everywhere you attempt to go eat there's a dog right next to you, im looking at 3 sitting right next to me right now :( read more

We have been big fans of chef Edgar Nuñez (Sud 777) for many years, and we wanted to taste what happens when his creativity is applied to Mexican classic home cooking. It was, as we expected, a treat. The cocktails had us taking notes on items to add to the home bar: tamarind, mezcal, agave nectar. The avocado with shrimp was probably our favorite dish. Large, best to split. The bone-marrow tacos were jaw-dropping huge must-split items. The rich marrow is tempered by slices of raw turnip and esquites (corn). The tuna al pastor was marinated and lightly seared, lovely. You need to finish it all up with a flan with caramel sauce. read more

Food was average, small servings. Not good value for money. Ambience and service were fine.

Service was impeccable and the food was pretty wonderful. My spouse had the molcajete chicharonne de rib eye and he enjoyed it, but it was pretty acidic and a lot of food. I had the shrimp burritos and the tacos rellanos with seafood. The burrito was just ok, but the taco was amazing. Spicy, acidic, and well balanced. My kids enjoyed the order of the butter cracked cheese quesadilla. The best thing on the menu: jalapeño margaritas. read more

Stay away. Total tourist trap. Looks cute, but the food is inedible. Barf! They also try to push food and drinks on you, which is my #1 pet peeve. The red flag started with the complimentary chips they brought. Stale as a rock. Next red flag, guacamole. Worse than pre packed grocery store guac. Barf! Then we tried the fish and shrimp tacos. The shrimp tacos came and it was almost a joke. They were these miniature baby shrimp with the head and tail Uncleaned and without dressing, or toppings. Fish tacos were pure fried breading topped with a couple pieces of cabbage. Just pathetic. We couldn't eat the food. Left. Don't come read more

I'm surprised the reviews for this place are not higher because my breakfast/lunch experience was fabulous, and much better than surrounding restaurants. I read here to get the crab empanadas/quesadillas and it was seriously delicious. The green jugo was also fantastic. I sat with my chair facing the street outside on a lovely February day, and had a fabulous meal. The waitstaff was awesome -- they actually dissuaded me from what would've turned out to be over-ordering (which nobody else in mexico has done), and actually fully fluent in English which was helpful when my Spanish started to stumble. read more

Loved this place! It's super cute and aesthetic! Located in one of the nicest parts of town. The food is amazing! The chile relano was one of the best i've had.

4.5 stars! A creative, fancy, yet casual restaurant in the trendy district of Polanco, Comedor Jacinta offers some extremely unique takes on Mexican flavors and dishes, and I was a huge fan of the food! Coming in for dinner to this restaurant with a lovely setting, we were seated right away and perused the diverse menu. We started our meal off with the avocado stuffed with shrimp salad, and this was certainly one of the highlight dishes. The two hefty avocado halves were stuffed with perfectly marinated shrimp salad, and the combination of creamy and sweet/acidic flavors was simply to die for! The hearts of palm ceviche was an extremely unique dish containing only hearts of palm in a creamy marinade that was meant to replicate ceviche, but I found this only average and wouldn't order it again. We also had the pork fillet with mole verde, a thin, pounded slice of sweet and savory marinated pork, served with rice and beans. But my favorite dish of the night was definitely the cricket molcajetes. That's right--this was a mixture of guacamole, chile verde, and fried crickets in a stone pot, and you could scoop this mixture into corn tortillas to make the perfect tacos. The creaminess of the guacamole and the tang of the salsa complemented the crunch of the crickets so nicely, and the fried insects were reminiscent of soft shell crab! Finally, we had the "salsa verde" crab quesadillas, a unique quesadilla filled with shredded crab and cheese--the combination worked surprisingly well together, as the saltiness of the cheese complemented the sweetness of the crab so nicely! Overall, this was a fantastic place to come for unique dishes that are inspired by Mexican cooking. I'd definitely return to try out more of their unique, creative, diverse menu offerings at very reasonable prices! read more

Two different friends recommended this to us, and I absolutely loved it. From the wonderfully low lighting, to the wall of succulents and candles, the ambience was perfect. The word I would use for the service is "doting", with several servers helping us throughout the night. They really spoiled us once my husband starting conversing with everyone in Spanish (see the beautiful, complimentary flan in my pictures). We ordered the seafood ceviche, the Oaxacan tamal black mole, and few other sides. We both really enjoyed the food and the wonderful drinks, but what really stood out was the service and hospitality. I would absolutely come back here next time I'm in town. read more

We went to this restaurant for lunch after walking our dog in the park. From the moment we sat down, we were treated to watermelon agua fresca and a sample of bean soup - so gracious! Then we ordered tamarindo margsritas, palmito ceviche and the tlayuda to share and it was delicious, so rich in flavor. The staff was so helpful in describing dishes we were curious about and also helped us from over ordering.

This place was recommended by a friend who has lived in Mexico City for a few years and is a foodie, but my experience wasn't good. The tostadas and salsa for the table were tasty, but the same tostadas they used for the tostadas de atun were stale. The tuna topping itself was good but served on stale tostadas. My jalapeño margarita was extremely watery; they did make it better when requested. And the crab quesadillas were not memorable. Given the prices at this restaurant, I expected far better. read more

Pretty close to five stars! Very cute and quaint spot in Polanco. The service was quick and the staff was really great and helpful. We focused on eating several small dishes beginning with a botana that consisted of frijol with cecina on a tostada which was very tasty. We also ordered some shrimp in aguachile and red sauce. This wasn't my favorite but my partner really enjoyed the dish. Personally, two of the highlights were the heart of palms ceviche and the sopa de hongos. The heart of palm ceviche was so creamy and so refreshing - would definitely order again! The sopa de hongos was also amazing - the mushrooms were on point and the brocolini added a great taste and flavor to the mix. As for the desserts, these were not my favorite. We ordered the tarta de mamey and the passion fruit mousse which was a special of the day. While my partner definitely enjoyed the tarta de Mamey it ended up being a bit too heavy for me and the mousse didn't have the best consistency and it could have had more of a passion fruit taste. Overall, our experience was great and I'd definitely come back! read more
