    Beef medallions
    Beau H.

    Saks Polanco is an epic space with ample outdoor and indoor spaces to entertain guests both day and night. It's reminiscent of a larger Italian restaurant and the cuisine is just as romantic. Artesian bread variety selections with dynamic array of dipping sauces to accompany them Will arrive at the table and could serve as a course itself. The wine list is on a digital tablet and features page after page of Incredible selections of Temperillo. We had the pleasure of a fun and great server named Antonio Mendoza we laughed with him from the time WW entered. The Beef medallions in wine sauce is impeccable and the Marsala Filet while small was beautifully cooked at medium rare. The salmon is also very tender and made like everything else here with love. Thank you.

    This is my friend's, who lives close by, favorite restaurant and I can see why. I had breakfast here and it was a wonderful meal and experience. The ambience is classy and upscale. We ate on the large patio. The indoor space is beautifully decorated. Service was excellent and the food was dee-lish-eos! I would come back for sure the next time I am in town.

    Fun experience in the bustling city of Mexico City, the environment was busy and full of wonderful pastries to select delicious coffee and other fresh juice products. The menu offered a great amount of food and fruits which I saw some unique items that American breakfast typically do not have. I was able to celebrate my birthday brunch for a day here and had a lovely experience with the staff.

    Cute place for brunch with ridiculously large portions! We loved sitting in the patio and getting a bite. The bread plate was delicious - and i may have filled up my belly fitting it even before my food got there! Fun fun!

    One of many reasons that I love travelling Mexico is the amazing food. And Saks has the distinction of being THE best breakfast place that I've ever been to. Sitting in posh enclave of Polanco, this great restaurant has been my breakfast spot almost every time that I've travelled to Mexico City. On one occasion, I ordered the poached eggs, which were served over ham, toast, and topped with hollandaise sauce. They served me several different breads and pastries, which had their distinct but decent tastes. The mangoes were very flavorful, probably the most delicious that I've ever tasted. Their coffee is great, but FYI the cappuccinos here only come with one shot of espresso. So if you're a caffeine junky like me, then ask them for an extra shot (or two) or espresso in your cappuccino. My girlfriend ordered scrambled eggs and ham, and some potatoes on the side. She was happy with her order. On other occasions, I've come here for lunch. The last time I came here, I had filet mignon with a side of potato puree. My choice of drinks was the same as I always order. My girlfriend had grilled chicken breast and white rice. Simple but good. The customer service here is great. The place can get pretty packed on the weekend, so be sure to get here early. It is not too packed on weekday mornings. The other patrons are decent locals from Polanco. There were no bad vibes here. If you're looking for a great place for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, then this is a great option in Polanco.

    Popular local breakfast/brunch spot. Juices were the star of the show. Fresh salads and good soup as well, the food did not disappoint and we ate most of the bread basket too. Sit outside under the awning, the inside is full of screaming children. Would recommend.

    Free bread

    Great service and excellent food. Expansive menu with many choices--soup seems to be a local favorite. Located close to The Oscar Wild Hotel. Love the outdoor seating. The soft music and birds chirping drown out the road noise. Nice to stop mid-day for a late lunch/early dinner and cocktail. Servers do not speak English, but wasn't an issue.

    This place was close to the hotel we were staying at and they had a big outdoor seating section so we stopped by twice to just rest and enjoy some cool fruits juices. This place gives bread and salsa/hummus for free with your food and drinks. The guacamole was so yummy and wish I could have taken some back home with me ! We also asked if we could have a platter of fresh fruit even though it wasn't specifically in the menu they were able to whip it up for us!

    This is my second visit here. After my first visit in 2022 I knew I had to return on my next trip. Needless to say, it did not disappoint. The mole has a wonderfully smoky flavor and creaminess, with the perfect bite of spice. Chipotle meatballs were yummy as well. Sat outdoors and the weather was perfect, and the service was good. Will return again next time I visit CDMX.

    This place pops on the weekends. Definitely get a reservation if you can. I love their fresh baked goods and pastries. All the food we tried was so delicious. My eggs Oaxacan style was yummy. The tres leches cake was decent. They have nice tea and coffee selections along with mimosas.

    Eggplant and bread service

    We stopped for lunch after the anthropology museum and I was blown away. We sat outside and were delighted by the atmosphere, homemade bread, and vegetarian options

    Awesome experience !!

    Great ambience!! Beautiful place and the best fish Verarcruz! The Ibérico was awesome and the carpaccio beyond my expectations !

I wanted to make it a point to seek out some authentic oaxacan mole, so I chose this spot that was recommended by eater.com and the Michelin guide. Had the black mole with duck breast, which was served with rice and a plantain. It was so good as the flavors were so complex and they paired really well with the perfectly cooked duck, the rice, and my fruity cocktail. On that note, I ordered one of their speciality cocktails with passionfruit and it was so good. I actually enjoyed my cocktail, made with fresh fruit, here more than the world renowned bar down the street. Also got salsa made tableside and an appetizer of pork taquitos (which, in this context, were tiny tacos). Both were flavor bombs.

I will say the service was impeccable, they checked on us often and even found a charger so we could charge our phones! Very great hospitality and service.

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.

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.
