Estoril Polanco

"Estoril has perfected the art of blending French food with Oaxacan flavors, so you’ll find butter-sautéed escamoles, and chipotle meatballs that are slightly too spicy but still incredible, paired with Mexican rice and corn tortillas. Many dishes on the menu start at $15-$20, which is surprisingly affordable for a Polanco restaurant that makes us feel like we’re in a rich, old-school grandmother’s house. The service is super friendly, and this place is always ideal for impressing your date or your date’s parents, preferably with a tequila and sangrita at the ready. Snag a table on the terrace including during the rainy July and August months: it’s covered, airy, and overlooks a tree-lined street." - guillaume guevara
