Authentic Mexican food. Great service and atmosphere. Prices are higher but definitely worth it. When you taste the food, you know there are no corners cut. Everything is fresh and you can tell it’s homemade. Nothing from a can. Their black beans are amazing. We tried the picaditas, mole chilaquiles, pastor tacos, lamb barbacoa tacos, and chorizo papa taco. So so good!

The vibe and atmosphere were honestly a 10 out of 10. I loved the energy of the place and the service was good as well.
Unfortunately, the food just did not live up to the experience. It was not terrible, but it was underwhelming enough that I would not come back. The tamale was overcooked and had way more masa than chicken. The green sauce tasted like it came straight from a can. The fish tacos were disappointing too because the breading was very soggy.
Overall, great ambiance and solid service, but the food did not match the vibe. I would probably recommend trying a different spot.

This is my fourth time visiting Polanquito, and the last three times the service and comfort were truly excellent. After six months, I returned to find the food poorly presented, the service terrible, and the pipián spoiled. The chef came out and told us they cook to the highest quality standards, but honestly, I'm Mexican, I cook too, and you can tell when food is spoiled: lots of foam and it's sour. In short, the chilaquiles were awful. The only somewhat redeeming thing was a torta… I really won't return until they improve.

Second time visiting Polanquito and it absolutely did not disappoint. I tried the Barbacoa this time—rich, flavorful, and very authentic, with every bite packed with great taste. I also had the Mole Chilaquiles with Milanesa, which were just as delicious, plus an iced horchata latte that paired perfectly with the meal. To top it all off, I ended with a sweet chocolate-filled croissant for dessert, which was the perfect sweet finish. If you’re looking for truly authentic Mexican food with bold, well-balanced flavors, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

Had a delicious Milanesa torta w a clean tasting horchata. The tangy chipotle kick really made it.

This was an amazing experience. They have the best chilaquiles in town. Everything is meticulously cared for. The cleanliness is impeccable. Chef Diego welcomed us and provided service unlike anywhere else. We were invited to return with family and even for a business meeting. The chilaquiles are delicious and served in a very generous portion. We also had the tres leches cake, which was also very tasty. We completed our meal with a mimosa and a cappuccino. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with genuine Mexican flavor, I highly recommend this restaurant.

I tried their barbacoa tacos and immediately was transported to México, the flavor was authentic and the portion was generous. The customer service was on point and eager to give you good recommendations. The horchata with a shot of espresso was a really balanced drink, not too sweet. The cochinita pibil was probably the only dish I would say was ok. Not bad by all means just not as good as I've had in México. But the barbacoa is where is at 10/10 just perfect. Their habanero salsa also has good flavor!!! Will definitely come back again!!

Food was authentic and flavorful. My husband and I visited for the first time on Saturday, we ordered the green chilaquiles and barbacoa. Both dishes were delicious. We also ordered the cafe de olla, it’s a bit on the sweet side but good. Only negative thing is that they open late. If you want an early breakfast this is not the place as it opens until 10am. Other than that, a must try and will be coming back to try other items in their menu.

We stopped by and had a great experience. The service was excellent from the moment we arrived—the owner himself came over to greet us and was very attentive and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious and truly authentic Mexican cuisine. This is an actual sit-down restaurant, not a typical taqueria, which I think is important to note. I was honestly curious after seeing a few negative reviews, but those didn’t reflect our experience at all. Because it’s a full restaurant with homemade dishes prepared on-site, the prices are understandably a bit different than a taqueria, but well worth it. The chef even came out to explain the meal we ordered, which made the experience even more special. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, we had no issues at all, and we really enjoyed our visit. Highly recommend—overall, a very good experience.
Awesome experience. The drinks and foods were fantastic especially the strawberry margarita and Al pastor. Portions are large.

The food here was genuinely delicious — chilaquiles we ordered had great flavor and was really well prepared. Unfortunately, the experience was brought down by the service and price.
One individual dish (no drinks, adjustments, no side dishes, appetizers or add ins other than our meat choice) we paid ~$28 each.
Aside from that— we were never checked on or asked if we needed anything. We also couldn’t help but feel a bit ignored compared to other tables, almost like we weren’t given the same attention *maybe* because we weren’t dressed as nicely as some of the other guests?
Overall, good food but questionable price and disappointing service.

Planquito has delicious food and such a welcoming atmosphere. The café de olla was 10/10 as well as their service. We will definitely come back next time we’re in town!
