We were served blue corn tostadas with a few different sauces - all of which were tasty, especially the spicy creamy green one. We then ordered appetizers to share. All were tasty but hands down my favorite item was the pulpito. The octopus was so tender and went perfect with the little potatoes. I also really liked the rib eye tacos which came with the best red spicy sauce and the tiradito which is a campachi Crudo. From the cebiche tasting platter (no photo), I liked the atun the most. Of course we ordered desserts as well. I actually cannot remember the names but will comment on them with the attached photos. One I' didn't get a photo of was a chocolate dessert. It was very good but rich. If you're in the neighborhood I suggest trying this spot out.

The only thing that was a bit cheeky was the waiter asking what percentage of tip I wanted to leave instead of giving me the machine to add it myself.

Having lived and studied in Spain, I endorse this place…read more I've eaten here twice and can vouch for the: -Spanish tortilla (usually complementary as an amuse bouche) -Blood sausage empanadas (delicious) -Croquetas (pretty authentic) -Shrimp with rice (very good and garlicy) -Chorizo with lentils (almost a soup, but very hearty) -Jamon serrando with manchego cheese (which you can't mess up, unless you shave the jamon too thick) I wish, as a Spanish restaurant, they would serve paella, but it's hard to find even it in most parts of Spain if you're not on the coast. So if it can't be fresh in landlocked Mexico City, I'd rather not have it at all. The complementary bread is nice and soft. The service is on the money. The wine list is rather and expansive and very affordable. The owner is usually here and will stop by your table to check-in. Nice touch. I'm also a huge fan of the open air seating. Not outdoors, but indoors with the windows wide open. The bathroom sinks are also pretty unique. Check them out, even if you don't have to use them.

Very subpar experience! Don't let the plant wall and IG worthy interior fool you…read more I would recommend other restaurants in the area for a much dining experience. - Our server, Pepe, offered very poor service! - He seemed annoyed when we asked him about the menu. He brought out wrong dishes to us and the table next to us (table of 5 next to us sent back cold soup. They wanted a shrimp pasta dish but apparently they ran out of the dish ‍) - After our meal Pepe hovered over our table and said, "this is all you're going to tip?" Wild. Never have I experienced that before. We ended up tipping more to get him away from our table and leaving the restaurant. - I hope the tip is shared with the bartender who made the tasty margarita and the host that seated us.

Cornmeal Gold in Polanco…read more Órale Arepa offers a polished setting in Mexico City's high-end Polanco district, and with that comes a matching price tag--nearly $50 USD for a late lunch for two. Expected for the neighborhood, but steep for what is, at heart, elevated Venezuelan street food. We ordered the arepa tasting: six warm, griddled half-arepas served like DIY fajitas, with two meats, three cheeses, and three house-made sauces (chipotle, garlic, and avocado). The format encouraged creativity, but 60% of the offerings leaned on cheeses--mostly mild, forgettable, and largely untouched on our plates. The grilled and pulled meats were solid, as were the arepa bases: crisp-edged, warm, and fragrant. The sauces helped pull it all together, though often had to do too much of the flavor work. A side of avocado and underripe tomato did little to elevate the meal. Service was attentive and kind--our server's advice not to over-order was spot on. But while the experience was pleasant, the food fell short of memorable. For the price, there simply wasn't enough depth or distinction. A generous 3 stars. #PolancoDining #ArepaReconsidered #CDMXEats Oro de Maíz en Polanco Órale Arepa se presenta con estilo en la exclusiva zona de Polanco, y su precio lo refleja: casi $50 USD por un almuerzo tardío para dos. Comprensible por la ubicación, pero elevado para lo que esencialmente es comida callejera venezolana, por más refinada que sea. Elegimos la degustación de arepas: seis medias piezas servidas como fajitas para armar, con dos tipos de carne, tres quesos y tres salsas caseras (chipotle, ajo y aguacate). Aunque el formato es divertido, el 60% del contenido se basaba en quesos poco memorables que apenas tocamos. Las carnes cumplieron y las bases de arepa fueron lo mejor: calientes, bien cocidas, con aroma y textura. Las salsas hicieron lo posible por levantar el conjunto. El acompañamiento de aguacate y jitomate no aportó mucho, especialmente con el jitomate sin madurar. El servicio fue atento y honesto--nos advirtieron amablemente sobre las porciones--pero la comida no alcanzó el nivel que el precio prometía. Una experiencia correcta, sí, pero sin el impacto que esperábamos. Tres estrellas, por mérito del servicio más que del sabor. #ComerEnPolanco #DegustaciónSinSorpresa #CDMXFood

For appetizers, we ordered the tostones con guacamole (green fried plantain slices with guacamole) and tequeños de cachapa (sweet corn cheese sticks) & I am so glad about that choice!!

I honestly cannot say enough good things about the fried cheese sticks. The mix of sweet and savory was perfection! Now, onto the star of the show: the arepa llanera. WOW. Just absolutely incredible. The arepa itself was delicious and crispy, the cheese was so good, and the beef was marinated and perfectly tender. This place is a must go in CDMX!
