La Aceituna or The Olive for you Gabachos is a Restaurant located in a very peaceful area of the Colonia Polanco "$$"....
The menu varies from typical Spanish tapas, to more traditional Mexican dishes with fish or meat, plenty of wines and tequila to choose from. The servers were attentive and it's one of those places that every plate is crafted beautifully, if that's your thing.
They have a large outdoor terrace where the wife and I had Coffee and Pan Dulce http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-aceituna-miguel-hidalgo#rVGNWcA1DqdPI3tOW7ZMQA while we waited for our Breakfast!
The Wife's choice:
Huevos Rancheros - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-aceituna-miguel-hidalgo#vToba3ZhY82elggL3JsU3w Many places make things different but this is pretty classic, the corn tortilla was nicely prepared and topped with a couple of sunny side up eggs and sauce, the egg yolks were nice and runny, the sauce had a nice flavor though no heat, I liked the black beans topped with queso fresco... I wish there was more of it.
My Choice:
Chilaquiles con Pollo - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/la-aceituna-miguel-hidalgo#AJtr2hagCyUPFJHgTk8JoA Like many Chilaquiles they use tortilla chips as the base instead of cutting up corn tortilla, it's all good though since these are freshly made anyhow. I prefer Chilaquiles Roja VS Verde but this is what they serve, the sauces do have good flavors though no heat, plenty of shredded pechuga de pollo (aka) Chicken Breast.... again they could be a bit more liberal with the beans, Imma frijolero and need my beans!
But I think it goes back to they want things to LOOK pretty! so most of the plated I'd say are smaller portioned VS in the U.S. "Just a FYI" and be prepared $$ read more
