La Barra de Fran

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.

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.

We are definitely going back to try more items from the menu. The service was friendly and not pushy which is appreciated. All the food and our drinks (an old fashioned, draft beer, and Ribera del Duero wine) were perfect. You can’t go wrong with the arroz negro con gambas and chipirones.

Spanish flavors that take you right to Barcelona! If you are a fan of tapas…stop what you are doing and go here immediately. This restaurant is tiny but with lots of flavors. Follow our travels on YouTube - The Ecuadorian & The Persian!

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

Amazing Spanish restaurant right next to Polanquito. I adore this place - so cozy and always full. The service is attentive and quick. I recommend ordering to share so you can try all the dishes - the concept is tapas and various entrees. The patatas bravas and croquetas de jamón ibérico are a must. My favorite entree was the seafood fideuá, it was delicious and had calamari, shrimp, octopus and was very crunchy. Prices are high.

One of my favorite restaurants in Polanco! The service and ambiance are superb! I have 3 menu favorites that I order every single time: - Pollito de leche al ajillo - Espárragos a la plancha (without cheese for me) - Red wine (I tried a rioja this time...yum!!) Both are delicious! I love the potato, onion side that comes with the chicken too. This was my first time trying their desserts. We had the coconut ice cream which was amazing!

La Barra de Fran is a Spaniard restaurant, with excellent variety of dishes, located close to one of the corner of Lincon park at Polanco. It is not big is size, but has seatings on the side block, but friends preferrer to seat at the bar. All dishes are excellent, but you should look at a black board, where they have the recommended dishes for the day. Service is also very good, the enclosed image you see one of the waiter with an iron, taking out wrinkles of the tablecloth. You will need many days to try the different dishes.
