I came here on a Thursday night and a Saturday night and both times I had an absolute blast dancing. My buddies and I took over the stage area and quickly (and inadvertently) sent people in the vicinity away. When you are uncoordinated as we are at cutting a rug, this is what tends to happen. On Thursday, the place started to wind down around 1 or 1:30, and on Saturday the place was popping until at least 2. This is a 4-star establishment because the DJ on Saturday could do no wrong on the ones and twos, the bartenders are quick to make drinks, and the people are all there to have a great time! Next time I'm in CDMX I'll stop by again, Pata Negra!

This is a new bar that just opened 3 weeks ago. I am visiting Mexico City for the first time with a…read morelarge group of friends. Decided to have a meal alone, and wandered upon this bar. It is so welcoming and the staff are so nice. The menu is all fresh ingredients, and organic or natural mezcals and wines. I really liked the Tartar de Cecina Yacapixtla, and the last mezcal on the menu (the name escapes me). It is more or less similar menu prices to the US, but I think the space and presentation are worth the higher cost. The chef is also there to answer any questions about the menu. Much of the staff speaks English, and they are patient if you try to speak Spanish as a foreigner! I did not order a cocktail, but they looked fancy and delicious. If you are around, give it a try! Este es un nuevo bar que acaba de abrir hace tres semanas. Estoy visitando la Ciudad de México por primera vez con un gran grupo de amigos. Decidió comer solo y deambuló por este bar. Es muy acogedor y el personal es muy agradable. En el menú hay ingredientes frescos y mezcales y vinos orgánicos o naturales. Me gustó mucho el Tartar de Cecina Yacapixtla, y el último mezcal de la carta (se me escapa el nombre). Los precios del menú son más o menos similares a los de los Estados Unidos., pero creo que el espacio y la presentación valen el costo más alto. El chef también está allí para responder cualquier pregunta sobre el menú. Los personales puendan hablar inglés, ¡y son pacientes si intentas hablar español como extranjero! No pedí un cóctel, pero se veían elegantes y deliciosos. Si estás cerca, ¡pruébalo!

Super hip new bar in Roma Norte! Cool staff, cool music - they we're playing hip hop and rap when…read morewe walked by so we decided to drop in since it seemed very different from a lot of the other spots we had been to during our stay. Only had drinks so can't speak to the food but the cocktails were delicious. My husband doesn't drink so they made him a really creative mocktail and I had the White Calypso cocktail which was amazing. Chatted one of the owners briefly and apparently the cocktails were created by a partner who used to create the cocktail menu for Pujol. Seems like it would be a really fun spot on the weekend. They also have Negroni Wednesday but sadly we're leaving tomorrow! Will definitely come back next time we're in Roma Norte.

Romelia is a quaint, understated eatery with excellent service and very tasty food and wine. We…read moreopted for an outdoor table and experienced the most prompt and attentive service of our entire visit to Mexico City. The offerings at Romelia are comprehensive to say the least. We started with some delicious croquettes, followed by jamon iberico on toast, spicy charred pulpo, and finally two orders of tacos -- prawn and ribeye. Each dish was superb. The pulpo was expertly charred, and the flesh as tender as a gentle summer kiss. The tacos, which are made completely from scratch in house, embodied many of the rich flavors that make Mexico City one of the world's greatest culinary destinations. Even the side dish of butter we requested was exceptional; it tasted as if an abuela in the countryside had awoken early that same morning to milk her lone grass-fed cow and gently churn it just for our visit. We opted for a bottle of Toro (~$960?) to accompany our feast, which we regarded as a sensational value. It accompanied the food perfectly. In addition to his outstanding service timings, our waiter was kind, conscientious, and particularly patient with our subpar Spanish skills. Sometimes in life, happy accidents happen. This was one such occasion. We were very pleased to discover Romelia, and hope that we can experience it many more times during future visits to this great city.

Quaint all brick interior makes this the perfect spot to relax and have a drink in the evening. I'd…read morereally like to see more by-the-glass offerings but at least the ones they had were quite good. The grilled octopus was amazingly tender and fresh, one of the best in all of Mexico so far. The Patatas Bravas were too covered in paprika to taste much else, so for me they're a skip. The pan con tomato (tomato toast) was also not great as the bread got soggy quickly and there was some odd taste. Not bad by any means, just not the best I've had. All in all though, Id return in a heartbeat as the vibe is so chill and pleasant and given how amazing the octopus was, I'd like to try even more off their menu.

Located on the second floor (third floor American) of the El Palacio de Hierro Polanco luxury mall. It serves tapas.

We had the sangria and a Rioja red wine. Will return for other items very soon.

That' said, this place is called Xampañeria and there are ZERO actual Champagne options by-the-glass, which is super disappointing (they have an okay selection of Cava and other sparklers). And even on the list, it's all grandes marques, and quite overpriced. I expected more variety and some grower producers for a place that supposedly focuses on Champagne. Overall, an enjoyable experience as a bar/hangout spot, but disappointing from a wine lover's standpoint.
