Paid RosaNegra a visit for a late night dinner and I must say the restaurant is BEAUTIFUL! Definitely a great place to dress up and enjoy a night out in Mexico City. They have a DJ and live performances by a saxophonist and the service was incredible! Everyone was friendly and made sure we had a great experience. However, the food was a bit of a miss for me. I did really enjoy the bread and various habanero sauces they start you with and the street corn but the other things we tried not so much. The flank steak lacked char and flavor. The potatoes weren't seasoned well, same for the asparagus. The drinks were very good however my waiter helped me find a wine to enjoy and my sister had a cute cocktail with mezcal. Go for vibes and great service but not the food. read more

My family had an absolute blast here on our vacation. The food was delicious, cocktails were so beautiful, and there was always something fun going on! The staff kept an upbeat fun vibe going while lighting food on fire and clapping to live musicians playing throughout the dinner walking through the dining room. How could you not have a good time! Omar was an amazing waiter. The octopus appetizer is a must have!! read more

Very disappointing experience. I did a lot of research to find the perfect restaurant to celebrate a joint birthday with two girlfriends, and of all the wonderful restaurants in CDMX, we chose this one specifically for the atmosphere. We also made our reservation six weeks in advance, so we were especially surprised to be seated upstairs in what appeared to be an overflow room. We were not walk-ins being accommodated at the last minute, yet we were placed completely away from the music, entertainment, and energy that had drawn us to the restaurant in the first place. It felt like an entirely different experience from what was advertised and, frankly, wasn't worth the visit. To make matters worse, my meal arrived cold--not lukewarm, but genuinely cold. The bright spot was the service. Our waiters were incredibly attentive, kind, and welcoming, and we really appreciated their efforts. Unfortunately, the seating and food issues overshadowed what was supposed to be a special birthday celebration. Update: the restaurant changed my reservation in the middle of dinner, blocking me from leaving a review on OpenTable. read more

Ate dinner here yesterday. Nice high end restaurant with excellent ambiance and impeccable service. I ordered a glass of Tempranillo . For appetizers, we ordered the Beet with feta cheese salad. This was really good. Also ordered Mushrooms in tangy sauce, excellent. For main dish we ordered Corn tostadas. The house chips were ok, the salsa was good especially the habanero one. Great experience. Limited Vegetarian options however. read more

As the manager said "Don't miss seeing Cabos when you are in RosaNegra". What an amazing place for the whole family to enjoy and taste great Mexican flavors. Every dish speaks volume of the care and precision that chef took. We were lucky to get the reservation at this place. You have to make a reservation as even on a Wednesday night the place was packed...giving its was a thanksgiving week. Try to get the reservation between 8-9pm so you can enjoy their fire show. Our server Alejandro was attentive and recommended great dishes. We ordered Giant shrimp, Salmon tostadas, Burrata, Peruvian Ceviche, Tuna Tostada, Salmon and Hamachi. Great ambiance and music which everyone enjoys. You are missing out if you are not in RosaNegra if in Cabos!!! read more

I've never had so much fun eating out! This is fine dining cum dance party. Saturday night was insane!! DJ stared spinning dance songs around 9 and the bongos started and the waiters passed out sparklers and the scene erupted. People got up from their tables and danced between courses and drinks. The food and cocktails were really great. Fairly extensive menu so something for everyone. Do not pass up the mushroom risotto! It was my favorite thing of the night. Other than the martinis and the dancing. If you are into tequila, the pours are GENEROUS! I would not recommend this place for a quiet romantic experience. If you don't like loud music and shenanigans, not your go to spot. Maybe weeknights are less of a scene - call and ask. Oh and the service was impeccable. Super attentive. I'm so glad we spent our last night in Mexico City here. We practically shut the place down at midnight read more

Rosanegro - Review Food: -Mushroom Risotto: Creamy and comforting. Solid 4/5 -- good, not great. -Short Rib Tacos: 3/5. Not bad, but for Mexico and a sit-down restaurant, I expected more. The meat lacked flavor. -Chocolate Sphere Dessert: Fun presentation with lots of fanfare, but the actual dessert was disappointing. It's essentially a basic vanilla sundae covered by a chocolate sphere that's melted with hot coffee -- more style than substance. -House Bread for Tostadas: Good selection of salsas, avocado, and spices (including habanero). Ambiance: This place gets *very* loud. Throughout the night, the staff dims the lights and performs different mini-shows. It's entertaining but definitely cheesy and gives off touristy party vibes. Not ideal if you plan to have a conversation. Pros: -The restaurant is physically beautiful. -We were able to make a same-day reservation. -Service was attentive (4/5). -Good for birthdays and accommodating big groups. Overall: If you're in the mood for a touristy, spectacle-driven party atmosphere, this place fits the bill. If you want great food or an intimate, conversational dinner, this probably isn't the spot. read more

We swung by RosaNegra on our first night at CDMX and loved our experience. The ambience is very upscale and chic. You will also have a lot of photo ops options. We were excited to order hookah at the table. Our cocktails were too cute to drink and the food was delicious. We ordered the Mexican bread for the table, vegetarian tacos, fish tacos and grilled vegetables. The servers were friendly but the service was a bit slow. Overall, this place gave more of a nightclub feel with the really loud music and servers dancing, but it was fun. read more

Wow!!! This place is a dream and the food makes you lick your fingers!! I highly recommend this place for special occasion or just because

One of my close friends recently celebrated a milestone birthday at RosaNegra Polanco in Mexico City. I didn't take a lot of pictures, so here's a quick recap of our experience: 1. The restaurant & ambiance: Beautiful venue + one of the clubbiest and most celebratory restaurants I've ever been to. There was a live DJ who almost exclusively played American soul and pop music, which we appreciated but were also surprised by considering we were in Mexico. A live band made a cameo appearance and played more traditional music. The servers were marching around the restaurant every 10 to 15 minutes with sparklers and making grand gestures to help restaurant guests celebrate their birthdays and other special occasions. There was also a marriage proposal a couple tables away from us. 2. Service: Exceptional! The hospitality and service here were top notch. There were actually three people assigned to our table of five, so all of our needs were promptly met throughout the dinner service. 3. The food and drinks: We ordered a round of cocktails, two bottles of wine, and an assortment of food, including crab bisque, mushroom risotto, Alaskan King Crab, steak, a wedge salad, a side of sweet potato mash, beef empanadas, a gourmet hamburger, and an over-the-top chocolate sphere dessert that my friend wanted. Everything was phenomenal, but the crab bisque and mushroom risotto stole the show in my opinion. read more

I had my birthday dinner here on my first trip to Mexico City and it was fabulous! The service was great, although at times it was a bit too much. The vibes were amazing and there were drummers roaming around adding to the fun music. The presentation of the cocktails was great! My friend loved her bird drink, and the skull drink had a great presentation but my friend said it was just okay. I got a basic dirty martini but they did it right! Ok the food. My second favorite tuna tostada of the trip! And I tried a lot of them lol! The steak was perfectly cooked and my friends loved their salmon, risotto and tacos. So glad I chose this place to celebrate! They even brought out a dessert with a huge flaming candle! read more

If you're looking for a beautiful restaurant with a great vibe then Rosa Negra is the place for you! We selected this restaurant for my cousin's birthday celebration. They have a DJ who was playing primarily disco, some R&B and reggaeton. At certain points during the evening, a band comes out and plays throughout the restaurant. The hostesses, servers and band engage the restaurant patrons and the place becomes very lively. The food was good. We ordered the rack of lamb, tiger shrimp, mushroom risotto and vegetables. I really enjoyed the mushroom risotto. The drinks were creatively presented. We loved the chocolate sphere dessert and the presentation that went along with it. We ended the night with tequila shots with pyrotechnics. Definitely a fun time! read more

Delicious!! Fresh! The best place beautiful place beautiful people amazing food amazing service!

Amazing experience at this one of a kind restaurant in middle of polanco! There a live DJ that plays dance tunes all night long and two entertainers that play the drums and very lively atmosphere that breaks out in dance once every hour or so. The drinks and food are good as well. The drinks and food are presented in a very unique way. I had the margarita off of their cocktail menu that was fairly small and it's just chilled so no ice in it. It was with pineapple juice. For main course I had their big hamburger that actually had a mini burger on top of it. Never seen it before. Tried the tuna which comes in a sweet gingery sauce and was delicious. I also tried the octopus which was done very nicely. Atmosphere is 5+, service is 5, presentation 5+, taste 5. read more

Got to try both of this restaurant and their sister restaurant called Chambo during this trip. Both have the same concept of dining with entertainment (Chambo has a live DJ). The menu looks pretty similar. The service was impeccable with most of the waitstaff were able to speak English. This is a place where you want to have a fun dinning experience rather than emphasizing for the quality of food which I thought was just okay. read more

I've been here twice now and left with a full happy belly both times. Owned by the "group that shall not be named" that also owns Animal, Taboo etc...Rosa Negra is a great spot for showy drinks, an upbeat dinner vibe, great food and good service - for a pretty penny ;) Both times I've been it's a packed house so always reserve ahead - and be wary of the super sweet cocktails. Go for the classics if you prefer lighter drinks. Must try: Bone marrow (massive, needed a little more broil time), salmon crudo, duck tacos, catch of the day (a big show to filet it table-side), burrata salad. If you're sensitive to the cold do not let them seat you in the corner by the door read more

Ambiance is not a reason to eat here. When you tell the waiter that your food is cold and they bring out a parilla so you may reheat your steak?!?! Leave. Great atmosphere does not make up for the cold food and subpar drinks. Two stars for the efforts made on drink presentation and the live music. read more

The long awaited celebratory dinner is here, and we are ready! The anticipation of this meal outweighed the disappointment of Pujol not answering our multitude of emails. We landed at Rosa Negra for this special dinner and it was perfect in every way! A party of 11 from around the world, ready to indulge and celebrate Enrique's 60th! So let's get started. It's loud. Really loud! This only matters because our table is limited to conversation with this many people. We started with cocktails, exceptional ones at that. You can't go wrong with the recommendations on the menu! Cheers. We moved on to wine, red and white to appease the masses. It was free flowing as we reviewed our food options. Complimentary warm Gruyère and truffle popovers, homemade tostadas, and salsas. Yes, please! Our servers, Eduardo and Fernando, were exceptional in every way. They were attentive, friendly, and timed our meal delivery perfectly. Appetizers for the table started with Hamachi tiradito, not to be missed! Next Peruvian ceviche, delicious! Grilled artichokes and balsamic cream... loved this dish! Between us we savored Grilled Octopus, a must and so good i didn't want to share it, but i did. King Crab Bisque, Boing Salad, multiple risottos with steak, mushrooms, and seafood, all delicious. The Branzino is a must for those who enjoy a high profile fish being prepared in front of your eyes.perfectly cooked and tasty. Hand shaken coffees with Licor 43, amazing. A sparkler in the birthday boy's cake is the showstopper of the night. A roaming sax player, an excellent playlist, great food, and fantastic company, served by a wonderful crew made this memorable. Thank you for the memories! This restaurant was very accommodating to our needs, adjusting the time and the amount of people, always with a smile. Much appreciated! read more

Upscale club style restaurant with live DJ, loud music, and lots of sparklers. You definitely will have a fun experience (if you're into that) but the food was surprisingly very delicious and they have a big menu. Ribeye steak and octopus were particularly phenomenal. Steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, my mouth waters thinking about it. Octopus was tender and delicious as well. Cocktails are well made and sophisticated. Servers were accommodating, friendly, and checked in often. Would definitely go here again. read more

POSTING THIS FOR TABOO, NOT ROSANEGRA BUT TABOO IS NOT A BUSINESS LISTED ON YELP. I am writing to formally express my disappointment with the service I received at Taboo Polanco on January 1, 2026, during my 8:00 PM birthday dinner reservation. I dined with my wife and sister-in-law, choosing Taboo specifically because of my consistently excellent experiences at RosaNegra Cancun and RosaNegra Cabo San Lucas. Unfortunately, this visit fell significantly short of the standards I have come to expect from the brand. While we were seated promptly, the service issues began immediately. After being seated, we were never provided menus. Our initial server, Fernando, began explaining a cocktail special. Shortly after, another individual--Rene, who appeared to be a manager based on his attire (suit, glasses, bald, approximately 5'8")--repeated the same cocktail explanation and asked for our drink order. At that point, we still had no menus, making it impossible to order properly. When we requested menus, only one menu was provided for three guests. Despite this, Rene returned shortly after and asked if we were ready to order, seemingly unaware that we were expected to share a single menu. Only after visible frustration did he realize the issue. We eventually ordered three cocktails, two pasta dishes, salmon, and a side of potatoes. The menu lacked clarity regarding included sides. The salmon description did not mention vegetables, which led me to order potatoes unnecessarily. When the dish arrived, it already included vegetables, resulting in an unnecessary $12 charge for a very basic side that I would not have ordered had the menu been accurate. We were served complimentary pita bread and chips with what was described as a feta dip. While explaining the dish, Rene physically touched one of the pita chips, which I found highly unprofessional and unsanitary. After our food arrived, Rene checked on our table only once during a three-hour visit. After finishing our meal and having our leftovers boxed, no one returned to the table for over 30 minutes. We ultimately had to flag down another server to request the check. Only after doing so did Rene return, and shortly thereafter, servers began resetting our table with fresh silverware. It became apparent that the staff had overlooked the fact that we were still present. At that point, a birthday dessert was rushed to the table without any prior acknowledgment, explanation, or even asking whether we wanted dessert. While the gesture itself is appreciated, the execution felt reactive and careless, which took away from what should have been a thoughtful celebration. When the check finally arrived, Rene stood at the table with the card reader while we reviewed the bill and discussed gratuity--an extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional situation. He then asked whether I wanted to tip 15% or 20%, despite the receipt clearly stating that tips are not obligatory. This interaction felt inappropriate and pressured, especially given the level of service provided. I chose to leave a 10% tip, after which Rene closed the check presenter abruptly, walked away visibly frustrated, and did not offer a thank-you or any closing courtesy. The service throughout the evening was consistently inattentive and unprofessional. From observing other tables, it became clear that the focus was not on hospitality but rather on upselling, presentation, and maximizing tips. While the décor and theatrics mirror those of RosaNegra next door, the service quality does not. This was, without question, the worst experience I have had at any RosaNegra-affiliated restaurant. I would not recommend Taboo Polanco to others, particularly when Polanco offers many restaurants that provide far superior service without pressuring guests over gratuity. I respectfully ask that ownership and management address Rene's conduct, as it reflects poorly on the brand as a whole. I would also appreciate a follow-up outlining what actions, if any, are taken in response to this feedback. For future diners: if Rene is assigned to your table, I sincerely wish you better luck than we had. read more

Incredible food! The bread that comes with the service has Gruyère and is beautiful. Amazing dipping sauce! The mustard one is very spicy. Beware! We had our toddlers with us and had an early dinner.

Really great spot in the upscale Polanco neighborhood of Mexico City. If you're looking for a quiet place, this is not it. This spot is lively and super fun and loud. But the food is really good. Had amazing starters like roasted mushrooms and bone marrow. And my entree was the Beef Short Rib Tacos. The coolest was the chocolate sphere for desert. Hot Carmel was poured on top to open it and inside it had ice cream and fruit. Really fun place and a top spot in Mexico City. Pricey but worth it! read more

'80s disco remix blares throughout the restaurant. Music is cheesy and way too loud. Left after one drink.

EXCELLENT service! First class food and ambiance. Made a reservation for 6 pm on OpenTable on Christmas night and was promptly seated. They serve delicious popovers with chips and three different kinds of salsa. The whole fish was prepared right in front of us and torched with a beautiful presentation. Would definitely recommend, it had bones but it was very tender and flavorful. The Pulpo was almost crispy but delicious with a mild olive sauce on the side. For dessert, order the CHOCOLATE SPHERE!! It is so fabulous: they pour hot chocolate on a HUGE chocolate ball in a martini glass and it opens to reveal dulce de leche ice cream inside! We ordered one and we saw every table next to us subsequently order one. The mock tail was delicious- comes out with liquid nitrogen and a flashing light. read more

I had reservation for New Year event. I got sick and couldn't make it. Called to cancel 2 days in advance and get absolutely no understanding of my situation.

Came here with a group of 10 girls, the staff was very nice and the vibes of the restaurant tried to get us in the party mood. We ordered a slew of appetizers and the girls had a combination of pasta, seafood, and steak dishes, all of which they liked. I ordered the grilled shrimp which I did not like, and the filet steak, which I also did not like because it was way too salty; both dishes I sent back. We order the sea bass ceviche, burrata, and beef skewers for appetizer and those were all pretty good. read more

This has to be one of the best restaurants in Mexico City. Nestled in the beautiful of upscale neighborhood of Polanco. Every aspect of this restaurant is perfect. From the moment you walk in you are greeted warmly and kindly. The service is phenomenal and the restaurant itself is very chic. During the weekend in the evenings you will find live lively music that is quite entertaining. Of course the main stay of this place is the food. Hands-down the executive chef created a phenomenal menu. Whether you have steaks or fish both items are fresh and cooked and flavored to perfection. I personally had the king salmon from Norway and it was perfect. I would highly recommend this fine restaurant for a special occasion or a night on the town. our server was Fernando Molina and he was excellent. read more

Blown away by the experience! The atmosphere felt like I was in Las Vegas, with vibrant vibes and live music that added to the excitement.

We went here to celebrate our last evening in CDMX. We also celebrated our son's birthday, he's turning 2. They did have some homemade chicken nuggets and yummy French fries for kids. My husband and I wanted to share the tomahawk steak, but they didn't have it. So, we settled on the ribeye. It came out sizzling on a stone. The stone was able to sear the sides if you want to do that. It was seriously one of the best steaks I've ever had. I also had a cocktail from the bar and it was the coolest drink ever. Also, our kids drink came out in some seriously cool cups. We ate dinner early (about 530pm and by the time we left the place was PACKED! read more
