We loved our experience at La Buena Barra. Beautiful third-floor views overlooking the city, and we were lucky enough to sit in a corner table as the sun set. They pulled back the roof so you could watch the sunset, which made the atmosphere even better. The staff was very attentive throughout the meal. Most of the steaks are meant to be shared family-style. We ordered the 800-gram ribeye, which came out on an extremely hot plate and stayed warm for the table as we ate. We also paired it with the grilled octopus and plantains. For a great combination of atmosphere and food while in Mexico City, La Buena Barra is absolutely worth a visit. read more

Wasn't really accommodating to vegan/vegetarian diet! I only bought guacamole and they add pork grinds into the dish

The atmosphere, the staff, the view and the Amazing Food! Was told about this place from my friend whom was with me. He specifically talked about a Chicharron Steak dish. He wasn't wrong in the way he spoke about it. The food along with the view, music and the amazing staff we had. I have not had table side Caesar salad in decades it was a treat. read more

This is a great place for people that want to spend money and eat good meat in Mexico City. The service is amazing. Five star service. The presentation of the food is also very good. It is a awesome visual and a gustatory experience. Or vegetarians like me, Whole Foods plant-based people, the vegetables could have been a good option. They looked very greasy when my family ordered them so I didn't try them as I cannot eat things but our family were happy. The ambience is very loud. the music crowd talking Was a bit too much. I had to step out for a little bit to destress from the noise. read more

Restaurant was a fantastic time but I got food poisoning from something I ate. No Bueno.

Best tongue I've ever had. Would go back again just for that tongue. Get the ice cream, comes in cone.

I came here for my birthday while visiting Mexico City for the first time. One word: Exquisite! We made reservations for 9 and were seated promptly with a beautiful view of the city. The inside was dim yet lively. The service was impeccable. The waitstaff were on point! The food...oh my! The Ribeye on a salt block was honestly the best steak I've ever had! The longer it sat on the block, the better! The Cedar plank salmon was also stellar! We added a side mashed potatoes and shelled corn which were great accompaniments to the entrees. When back in Mexico City this place will be my go to! read more

The ribeye on a hot salt stone was delicious. It's cooked with mezcal and we loved it. The DJ was great and the rooftop is a vibe. Our server was very attentive as well. read more

My former boss forced me to join him here multiple times. At first, it wasn't my favorite place, but then it started to wear on me. The ambiance is not casual, but not too classy either. The music is almost always set to get you to prepared to go clubbing, but the same is true for most nice restaurants in the Polanco neighborhood. (I'll never understand this). The cedar plank salmon is my consistent go-to entree here, and the tuna tartare always proves to be a wise starter. Most of my dinner mates usually lean toward the steaks, which appear far from the best option in the neighborhood, but I've been here with groups as small as 2 and large as 20 and nobody has ever left disappointed. This is one of the few restaurants in Polanco where you should probably make a reservation. It tends to fill up fast, especially on weekends. read more

Best tacos we had in the city! The mini ribeye tacos are a must try! There's 8, and aren't that mini. Sooo good, so simple, yet full of flavor! We also had the ribeye tacos which were delicious as well. Then killed the ribeye over salt block. We left so full and satisfied! It is the priciest place we went to, but wouldn't hesitate to go back. Service was good and it had a fancy vibe. #2 read more

One of my favorite places. Everything was excellent. The food was AMAZING. The absolute best guayaba cheesecake I've ever had. The ambiance lifts the mood of the place. We were hyped and happy to be here. Even tho it was a full house we still felt like we were hitting elbows with the table next to us. We were not rushed and the service is top notched. This will be a definite go to from now on. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed coming here! The service was wonderful, and the food that much better! Of the items we had, I don't think there was anything we disliked. The queso fundido was delicious! The mini rib eye tacos were a hit, particularly with the salsas they bring to the table. For the star of the night, the rib eye on the Himalayan salt with mezcal! Wow. It was beautifully cooked, and it was definitely a nice little show to watch. I can still taste the butter they put on top...so so good! The dessert was really good too. They bring the churro wheel to the table with sugar you can put them in and accompanied with chocolate and caramel. I personally preferred the guayaba cheesecake. The guayaba taste was there, and so so good. read more

Awesome and upscale restaurant up on the rooftop in Polanco, Mexico City! Ambiance/Service: The place is super hopping, good music, great vibe, and the decor is on point. The service staff is absolutely on it and by the time you need something, they are there and helping you! Food/Drinks: We went with some local friends and they recommended we do the bottle service. They were absolutely right. Bottle service in Mexico is not like the states and is much cheaper as they do not gouge you with crazy bottle prices. And you can get a ton of different mixes to accompany your liquor and the staff were there filling our glasses anytime we ran out. We ended up ordering appetizers to share rather than going with large entrees. The steak/guacomole was out of this world good! We also had the crab tacos which were definitely a different experience and extremely good! We also did the octopus which was extremely delicious. We had the grilled artichoke which is the only one we wouldn't order again. Would definitely come back and absolutely get the steak/guacomole, crab tacos, and octopus, no question! Note: You do want to make reservations to this place, especially if you have a lot of people as this place does get very busy. read more

One of my favorite go-to restaurants in CDMX. The service is one of the best I've experienced. The attention, the atmosphere, the food is outstanding. Getting here is somewhat of a challenge, but it Mexico City, parking is never easy here. But make reservations, hopefully you'll get a great spot. Get the Irish Coffee, it is an experience, WOW! Thank you, Issac!))) The food here is fantastic, desserts are great, the service...I am without words! You guys get 6 stars!))) read more

I gotta go with the 5 on this one for the all around experience - fun atmosphere, excellent service, great drinks, delicious food! Atmosphere: happening spot with lots of people, and a DJ playing music. We went on a Tuesday at 9:30, which was a good time to go if you're hoping to experience the lively scene. Service: though this is a loud hip spot, service feels as if you're in a fine-dining luxury restaurant. Alejandro was our sever and he was excellent. He even looked up places for us to go and made some great recommendations. Food: if you eat meat gotta get steak here! It comes sizzling on a hot stone, medium rare - but you can let it sit and cook if you like it more done. There are tons of options. We got the Himalayan steak but just ask your server for recs. Charred Broccoli is a must for side! Guacamole is great for apps as is the flaming cheese with chorizo. We also got the avocado salad, it was ok, a little over-dressed. Desserts are also great! We had the molten chocolate cake and ice cream per our waiters recommendation. The table next to us went for the red Velvet which is prepared table-side, looked amazing! Drinks: cocktails, wine and mezcal oh my! It's so hard to choose so we had a little bit of each! Yes, it was a fun night. You can choose your cocktails from an iPad with pictures and descriptions. Everything we had was good, again you can ask your server for help choosing! read more

The food was ok. But if you're AMERICAN check your bill closely!!!! They charge you a IFA tax. We spoke to the manager, said couldn't take it off. read more

Great seafood restaurant in the high-end district of Mexico City. The restaurant is known for their seafood and what we ordered lived up to its name. We came on the Saturday night and the many dinner reservations and people waiting in line reflected the popularity of the place. As a party of two we didn't have to wait too long for our table even though we came earlier than our reservation time. At the beginning of the meal they have a complementary salsa set with five kinds of salsa for for you to try. be careful, A couple of them are very spicy! We had the grilled vegetables platter and the grilled salmon for two. The grilled vegetables platter came out on the sizzling hot plate piled high with artichokes, zucchini, carrots, beets, tomato and cauliflower. The vegetables were thrilled to perfection and as a set on the hot stone the sides continued to caramelize making every bite delicious and sweet. The grilled salmon was basted in a sweet honey like sauce and grilled to perfection, tender and rich. A very lovely experience, Great for coming on a date night or with family! read more

This place is one of the top restaurants in Polanco. The service and the food is top notch. It is on the pricier side but totally worth it. It's on the top floor with a great terrace overlooking Polanco. While you wait they offer you complimentary beer. The service is top notch, at times we had four waiters attending us at the same time. They have a great selection of Mexican wines. Their steaks are superb! We had the guacamole with chicharrón (pork grinds), the steak barbacoa, rib eye cooked in salt and octopus. Everything was excellent. They also offer great cocktails and some are made right at your table. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. Reservations are highly recommended specially nights and weekends. read more

For the concurrence I could notice this is one of the "in" spots in Polanco. What is with the Gin carts in restaurants nowadays? It's like if you were attending a party with the magician visiting your table. They'll make the Gin throw smoke, put flowers/natural plants as decoration, they'll add a performance with the most picky way I've seen to pour and put ice in a glass (I felt like clapping). An amazing discovery was the Mexican wine named: "Pies de Tierra". The decoration is fancy. The service was amazing. It's the kind of place in where the Mexican high society likes to being seen, criticizes, makes business, flirts, enjoys. The terrace was delightful, the drawback: dudes were smoking cigars... read more

Todo lo bueno que tenía que decir sobre este restaurante fue arruinado por nuestro camarero cuando nos siguió hasta nuestro Uber para decir que no dejamos suficiente propina, cuando nos aseguramos de dejar una propina decente.

If you are in Polanco around lunch or dinner time you have to check out their patio and enjoy a delicious meal! Every place will bring chips and salsa in MX but this place offers the best tray of sauces with variety of spice level. They are very interactive with the orders, they make a big show by your table for some entrees drinks and desserts. The Steak show by our table was pretty impressive with the flames and special cuts. Red velvet dessert was the perfect ending to this delicious meal. read more

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. If you're a tourist. I told them we don't eat pork, but they still have us food with pork. Then they charged me for it and still asked for a tip. They have an English menu but it doesn't describe what's in the entrees. The servers don't speak English. This place is way too expensive for the quality of food. I would never ever go back. What a joke for service. read more

It almost seemed like I was being judged by how I was dressed. They also kept sitting people, whereas I had to wait, wait and wait some more. It took over an hour for them to finally sit me. The food was ok, but the drinks were good. read more

Travel from outside of town... great dinner spot. Amazing drink menu and food was incredible.

Tender, perfectly seasoned slices of steak cooked at the table?!? That's pretty much all I had to know to lure me to La Buena Barra. Located on the second floor of a building with great outdoor and indoor seating, LBB has to offer the best steak I have tasted in a long time. In typical steakhouse style, the restaurant decor is dimly lit, romantic and full of dark woodsy colors. The wine cellar is huge and most of the decor is monogrammed with the initials "BB". I'm a big fan of monograms so the restaurant may have received an extra star just for those! We began our dining experience by first ordering wine and I have to highlight that they bring you an iPad where you can read about all the wines they offer and even use filters to narrow down your selection. Super cool! For appetizer we ordered the melted cheese with chorizo. I am a fan of all things chorizo so this appetizer, paired with warm flour tortillas, definitely hit the spot. For dinner my mom and I shared the house specialty - the caña de filete al mezcal. Wowwwwww! What else can I possibly say about a huge slab of steak brought to the table on a hot stone slab made from Himalayan salt that is sliced and seasoned in front of you and then drizzled with mezcal?!? It was visually cool and very delicious. And just when you think that the filete could not be beat, you order dessert and that also blows your mind. Be prepared to wait about 25-30 minutes, but the red velvet cake that is made to order is a must try. Topped with creamy mousse and caramelized popcorn it is a great way to end dinner. read more

Terrible customer service. To start, we have a reservation that wasn't respected. On top of that, the manager (his name is Israel) came to our table to inform us that they were closing the area so we need it to leave and "have a cigarette" in a rude manner. I had been in their restaurant in Monterrey and I was surprised how different the treatment to customer was. I will definitely never comeback to this place. read more

This is one of my fave place to eat in Mexico City. We came here on a Saturday night for dinner, we called ahead and they said they were full. We figured we just gonna come anyway and tried our luck, we got seated right away. Chips and variety of salsa are complimentary. The ambiance is classy and they play loud music. Can be a bit chilly inside the restaurant since they have an outdoor patio. And yes they have an english menu! What we ordered (all highly recommended): 1. Cheese Flambe (grilled melted cheese) 2. Noodle soup (this is dry noodle with tomato sauce and no soup, still good) 3. Crab tacos (super delicious) 4. Grilled vegetables (massive size veggies like carrots, zucchinis, beets, caulliflowers) 5. Beef Fillet with butter 750g on a hot stone (good size for 4 people), super delicious and a must have. They have an individual portion as well. read more

Excellent little place for a respite an a long afternoon stroll along the surrounding area. Their mixologist was awesome. She prepared me a citrus-infused cocktail that was chilled to the bone with liquid nitrogen--good 'till the last drop--I had me two, just to make sure the first one was not a fluke! The coconut shell ceviche with jicama was absolutely an oasis in the sultry afternoon. Their salsa presentation and mini soup cup were astoundingly good. The ambiance is inviting and fresh. If, however, you have a problem with smoke odor, which I typically do when I'm trying to determine the substance of a flavor, do not ask to be seated outside by the terrace--that's the smoking section. read more

Excellent choice for lunch or dinner. Menu is very complete and has the same options as the original restaurant in Monterrey. Reservations are suggested, as the place can get really crowded and waiting list can be more than 30 min. Go for rib eye a la sal, alcachofa and mashed potatoes. For appetizers try tacos manchados and queso flameado. read more
