4 Best Restaurants in Polanco and Bosque de Chapultepec, Mexico City
We've compiled the best of the best in Polanco and Bosque de Chapultepec - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
El Turix
Polanco's most beloved taquería serves tacos, tortas, and panuchos of cochinita pibíl, the Yucatecan specialty of achiote-marinated pork. People from all walks of life, from hipsters to construction workers to businesswomen, line up throughout the day for a quick fix, topped with the habanero salsa and pickled red onion (and Montejo beer) typical of the Yucatán. If you can grab a table, get the sopa de lima, a mildly tart chicken soup made with the region's tiny limes. It's common to see a line here, so be prepared for a short wait.
Tortas Royalty
Chilangos (as Mexico City's residents are often known) are notorious for putting everything in a sandwich, even going as far as to create the carb-heavy guajolota, or torta de tamal. Convenient, filling, and cheap, tortas are the perfect fuel for a day of sightseeing and Royalty, Polanco's favorite sandwich shop, offers excellent versions of them. Order a milanesa or cubana to keep it classic, or a torta de chile relleno for a tasty vegetarian option.

Joselo
The coffee at Joselo is great, as is the location, in the center of stylish Polanquito. The sandwiches and sweets are tasty, but you'll be lucky if you snag an outdoor table during meal times, so you may prefer to get your caffeine fix to go and enjoy it across the road in Parque Lincoln.
