Blanco Colima occupies a 1907 Porfiriian mansion in Roma Norte - all arches, stained glass, interior courtyards, and a DJ that blurs the line between dinner and nightclub. The kitchen pivots on vanguardia Mexican cooking with Spanish and Asian inflections: tuna tostada, duck ravioli, croquetas, risotto all land when they land. Service is genuinely generous - complimentary bites bookend the meal, and waitstaff are remembered by name. The real catch: meat temperatures are inconsistent enough to be troubling at this price point, and plate timing can feel chaotic. Worth visiting if you come for the room and the cocktails, not expecting flawless kitchen execution.
Confirm your reservation the same day you go, because the kitchen can rush the pacing and meat doneness is a recurring problem. That said, the porfiriana mansion in Roma Norte is worth the trip on its own, and the duck ravioli and tuna tostada are the real arguments for coming back
