    *** 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!

    Chile Rellano and Spanish rice
    Hemant D.

    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.

    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. Not too busy during lunch so I'd like to see it again at night next time. Use the valet parking as it can be difficult to find parking on your own.

    The food is really delicious! We had scallops taco, ceviche, organic chicken and crab quesadillas and oh their corn chips. Service is extra friendly and attentive I highly recommend this place.

    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.

    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!

    Highly recommend this hidden gem. Charlie our server was incredibly patient, offered plenty of suggestions and very attentive to all of our needs. The food was amazing, the decor incredible. We arrived upon arrival and it was all very quiet, as the night went on it became really dark, but quickly realizing that it was to set the mood with candles. We will be returning soon!!

    Tacos de tuetano, molcajete de pulpo
    G T.

    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.

    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!

    Lima soup
    Liz P.

    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.

    Beef tongue
    Bethany M.

    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.

    Ila D.

    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.

    Bone marrow tacos. An absolute must!!!!!
    Nuno S.

    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!!!

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.

The space itself is lovely -- a well-designed hall with elegantly set tables, fresh flowers, and a charming courtyard with greenery that adds to the atmosphere. It feels upscale and calm, and when we visited, it was not crowded, which made it even more peaceful. However, the service and food did not quite match the setting. The staff were not particularly welcoming, and communication was a bit challenging as most did not speak much English. While manageable, it did affect the overall experience. They began with a bread basket (bread and croissants), which unfortunately did not feel fresh or warm -- something you would expect at a place with this level of presentation. We ordered a couple of dishes along with a fruit bowl: * The fruit lacked the freshness and ripeness you typically find in Mexico, even at casual local spots. * The main dishes were average in flavor -- nothing stood out, and they felt somewhat generic rather than reflective of local cuisine.

The interior is pretty plain, with some Oaxacan art on the walls, apparently available for purchase. We were served tortilla chips with samples of 3 moles (Negro, Coloradito and I think the 3rd was Mancha Manteles) and 2 salsas. As my wife and I primarily went to Barro Negro to sample moles, it was great that we could taste them before committing to a full entree. They were all very good and very different. If you think all moles are 'a Mexican chocolate sauce,' then you'll be surprised at the different varieties. The salsas were all very good and on the spicy side. For entree, I ordered the Mole Coloradito and my wife got the Mole Negro. Both were served with a chicken leg/thigh quarter covered in a very generous pool of mole, along with a small amount of rice and beans. For me, it was the right amount of mole (a lot!) and rice and beans (a small portion of each). The Coloradito is a sweeter mole, very smooth and rich. It was excellent. The Negro is smoky, almost burnt tasting. I happened to know that the cooking process includes burning chile seeds and adding them to the mixture. To me, it was kind of ashy and not to my taste. My wife said that she really liked it and the flavor mellows as you eat more. At any rate, if you're familiar with Mole Poblano, which is also very dark, the Oaxacan black mole is a totally different dish. As it was late, we chose not to get any dessert. The service was attentive and quick, not surprising given that the restaurant we empty. We enjoyed our food very much and highly recommend Barro Negro for sampling Oaxacan moles.

A fluffy bolillo roll drenched in juicy, slow-roasted pork, tangy pickled onions, and a salsa that comes in swinging with just the right heat. That salsa alone could clear your sins. It's spicy, vinegary, addictive. I was sweating and smiling like a maniac. It's a tiny hole-in-the-wall in Polanco. Cash only, plastic stools, no fanfare. You order at the counter and eat fast because there's almost always a line of locals and tourists in the know. And they serve one thing: cochinita. You can get it in taco form, on a panucho, or in the god-tier torta. Honestly, get all three and thank yourself later. The meat is fall-apart tender and deeply marinated, full of citrus and achiote. The panucho, with that crispy bean-stuffed tortilla base, is underrated perfection. Everything is messy, hot, and dripping with flavor in the best way. El Turix is the kind of place that reminds you why street-style food is unmatched. No hype, no gimmicks, just absolute fire. A must every time I'm in the city.
