La Barra de Fran

Incredible dining experience at La Barra de Fran! Every dish was high quality, beautifully presented, and full of creative flair. The portions were generous, perfect for sharing or indulging, and the basque cheesecake is a must. Service was top-notch, warm, and attentive. A well-deserved Michelin recommendation. Highly recommend!

Nice atmosphere, and that was the only thing I liked. Food was nothing special. I had the fideua and the pasta itself tasted cheap. I also ordered beer and half of the glass was full with foam 🧐

Without a doubt, this is the best restaurant in town. I rarely leave reviews, but when something is truly exceptional, I make an exception. Alejandro and Elizabeth don’t just serve — they show what it means to truly care for another human being. Thank you. This wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience — a Spanish celebration with a Mexican soul.

What a delightful little Spanish tapas bar in the neighborhood! The food is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is so charming.

The food was ok. Great service by staff. I didn’t like they were cleaning the liquor shelves in the middle of dinner service; that’s something done when the restaurant is closed. Also they allowed panhandling in the restaurant. For Michelin star rated, they need to do better.

Fantastic place! The tapas are topnotch and the Rioja wine was great. My vegetarian friend also loved the patatas bravas. Our waiter was so nice and practiced his English with us while we practiced our Spanish with him. Genuine moments like this over food are what make Mexico City amazing. We were seated outside which could be a bit noisy but it was still cozy.

Nice outdoor seating, very cozy ambience. Menu was somewhat varied: tapas, appetizers, main dishes (chicken, fish, meat). Drinks and cocktails were decently priced. Overall the menu was not very expensive for what you get. Loved the pork tapas, the broken eggs with chistorra, and the fideua, more than enough for a party of two. Good wine selection by the glass. Friendly and efficient staff. Everything was clean and sanitized. A good option for Spanish food in Polanco

I was very disappointed with the food here. The service was great though and they have a nice selection of Spanish beers. The cheese and the jamón were okay but I was expecting better quality. The “ensaladilla rusa” had way too much mayo, I’ve had the dish many time so I know it has a lot of mayo but this was too much to have more than a couple spoonfuls of the dish. The “croquetas” we’re undercooked abs lacked flavor. The pork that we ordered as a main was lacking flavor and tasted like it had been unfrozen. I wouldn’t recommend this for Spanish food. There are definitely better Spanish restaurants in Mexico City.
