Barrita de Mar Polanquito

Seafood spot in Polanco serving Mexican coastal favorites with a casual, family-friendly setup. The menu runs deep — aguachile, pescado zarandeado, tacos gobernador, and camarones roca all make regular appearances, plus you'll find caldos, tostadas, and a risotto with octopus. The salsas hold their own, and desserts like the chocolate cremoso and cheesecake are worth saving room for.

The dining room has screens for games and music at a level that lets you actually talk. Outdoor tables are covered. Valet parking available, though it can be slow on the return. Accepts credit and debit cards. Moderately priced.
