Pujol

Polanco·Modern Mexican tasting·$$$$ Verified June 12, 2026
The short answer

Pujol is Enrique Olvera's flagship in Polanco and the reference point for modern Mexican cooking. Book the taco omakase at the bar, not the dining-room tasting, if you want the most interesting seat in the room.

What to order

  1. 01
    Mole Madre, Mole Nuevo
    The 2,500+ day-aged mole served with a fresh younger mole, tortilla, hoja santa.
  2. 02
    Taco Omakase (bar seating)
    Ten-course sequence of tacos and small bites at the horseshoe bar.
  3. 03
    Baby corn with coffee mayo, chicatana ant
    The dish that put chicatana on international menus.

Practical notes

  • ·Reservations open 60 days out at 12:00 CDMX time and go in under 10 minutes.
  • ·Bar seating (taco omakase) is easier to get than the dining room and is arguably more interesting.
  • ·Arrive 15 minutes early; the bar has a two-seating structure.
Editorial note
By Chef Elvin Park

Pujol earns its reputation. The dining-room tasting is polished but predictable if you follow the genre; the bar omakase is where Olvera's team actually plays. If it's your first visit to CDMX and you want one high-end meal, this is the safe answer — but Quintonil and Rosetta are equally defensible picks and easier to book.
