Bulla Polanco

Stopped by for lunch without a reservation and got seated no problem. We were there just after they opened, though, so it might've been pre-lunch rush. For best results, make a reservation. Great food. The tuna was excellently cooked and delicious. Decent sangria, too. The atmosphere is a bit loud, but it wasn't too bad for an informal lunch. In all, good place for tasty Spanish food!

Great place for Spanish tapas, the food had authentic flavors, and a few basque options in the menu. I tried 2 of the pintxos and they were well prepared. I also liked the lechon confitado, it's like they press a portion of carnitas on a very hot pan, and it comes out with a really crispy crust. Low lighting and amenable music, suitable for a work event as well as a date. It can get busy, make a reservation.

I enjoyed my meal. The Spanish tortilla was delicious and the sangria was perfect (especially because it was such a hot and sunny day). It was very busy but the service was impeccable and fast. I didn’t like the calamari but everything else was fine. Maybe a little bit expensive.

Great Spanish restaurant, the service not that good, some of the food was not available...

The food was excellent. We ordered the meatballs, beef cheek, and squid ink rice, all of which were delicious. The service was good, and the wine selection was impressive. Overall, a great dining experience.

I went there and I was turned away. Not sure why when I saw empty seats and other people in the restaurant. When I approached the hostees didn't even look up at me or greet me just ignored me until a waiter came to greet me. He told me I needed reservations to have lunch. So then I called to make reservations and they told me I didn't need reservations. So strange. I'm a normal looking person not sure why I was treated this way. I hate using the race card but I can only assume I was denied entry because of my skin color. I was polite as well. Oh well off to the next one.

One of the best Spanish restaurants in mexico city and the best Sunday paella you can get
