Polanquito is a Mexican restaurant that may go unnoticed from the outside, but inside, it’s spacious and clean. The menu offers authentic Mexican dishes, including cochinita tacos, carnitas, enfrijoladas, and mole poblano, which are made fresh in-house with no canned foods. Customers praise the delicious food and the welcoming atmosphere, which features a colorful vibe and great music. The chef, Diego, prepares everything with care, and the staff is attentive and friendly. The menu also includes favorites like chorizo molletes, chilaquiles, and rice, all full of flavor and reminiscent of Mexico City. The dishes are served on clay plates, adding to the authentic experience, with the fresh masa and vibrant salsas standing out. Popular items like enchiladas, tacos al pastor, and picaditas (sopes) are highly recommended, and the spicy margarita and Paloma are hits with customers. The café de olla and rice pudding empanadas dusted in cinnamon sugar are especially praised. Visitors appreciate the weekly specials, such as the three tacos with rice and beans for $11.99, and describe the food as top-notch. The restaurant feels like a true taste of Mexico City, with a cozy ambiance and attentive service, making it a favorite spot for authentic Mexican cuisine in Houston.
