Bandido

Best breakfast in Polanco, especially for English speakers. Chef and waiters speak English to explain the exceptional menu. Much enjoyed the Hurvos con Machaca, Chilaquiles Divorcia Huevo Estrellado, Shakshuka and pastries. Service was a cut above for a non Spanish speaker. Great setup with very comfortable outdoor seating decorated nicely for the season

Bandido is awesome! I stopped by and had the cheeseburger, lemonade, and lemon cream pie — and honestly, everything was amazing. The cheeseburger was juicy, full of flavor, and cooked perfectly. The lemonade was super refreshing, not too sweet, and just what I needed. And the lemon cream pie? So good — smooth, tangy, and a great way to end the meal. The service was also excellent — really friendly and welcoming staff. The atmosphere felt relaxed and comfortable, with a nice vibe that made the whole experience even better. I’d definitely come back again. If you’re in the area, this place is a must-try!

Bandido is a café/restaurant with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, offering indoor and outdoor seating in a quiet, tree-lined area of Polanco. It features an innovative menu, excellent coffee and tea, and a wide selection of wines, tequilas, digestifs and beers, all served with cheerful and professional service.

Quality brunch experience! Highly recommend their coffee (the flat white was perfect), the Guyaba cruffin, chocolate conchas, short rib tamale , enchiladas and French toast

Brunch: 5 stars. Food, service, & decor all came together exquisitely. All our food was great, including their baked goods, but my favorite item was the short rib tamale with a red sauce and black beans... outstanding. Lunch: Based on the outstanding brunch, we tried a late lunch. The salad and the roasted avocado guacamole were great. However, we were disappointed in all 3 of the tacos. We had shrimp, ribeye, and shirt rib tacos, and none were better than just fine. Additionally, they charge a premium for thier tacos (2 per order) so not only were they not very good, but they were also expensive.

Fantastic breakfast/brunch place. I’ve been a couple of times, but this time (Sunday) they had a live DJ playing house music. Really enjoyed the concept of brunch / DJ / maybe some mimosa. The food is always tasty, but beware that it’s pretty expensive even for Polanco standards.

A must-visit spot in Mexico City. It feels super welcoming and familiar, with flavors that are truly out of this world. The place masterfully combines atmosphere, great customer service, and excellent offerings of both food and drinks.

This was one of those meals where the promise didn’t match the delivery, leaving me wishing I had chosen another place for breakfast. The french toast with fruit was an exercise in disappointment. One lonely piece of toast, barely deserving the title of “french toast,” arrived with a scattering of sparse fruit that clearly was an afterthought. Overly sweet and certainly forgettable. The english muffin, sausage, and scrambled egg sandwich fared even worse. Let’s start with the fact that it wasn’t even on an english muffin but a lackluster bread substitute. The eggs were listless, devoid of any seasoning, and the sausage was a caricature of what could have been. I managed maybe two bites before giving up entirely. The service mirrored the quality of the food: lackluster. Despite a reservation, I was left waiting for my table to be cleared and prepared. Once seated, the pace of service was glacial, and even requesting the bill felt like an ordeal. Save yourself the frustration and seek out one of the countless other options this city offers. A significant upgrade in the food department is long overdue.
