La Hacienda de los Morales

Fantastic place for a client dinner! From the mixed cocktails in the stunning bar patio, to the wines from Mexico, Chile and Argentina that were suggested by the sommelier, to the breads and food enjoyed in a historic Hacienda, your experience will be special. The evening included a 5 piece ensemble of musicians that even played requests table side.
A true gem in Polanco.

The absolutely best restaurant I ever been and I traveled world for 30+ years.

Hacienda de Los Morales is a beautiful restaurant, definitely more on the elegant side than most of the places we hit in Mexico City. It was our last night in the city and this fit the bill for a final nice meal.
I forgot to finish this review and now its a couple of months later so I don’t recall all the details of our meal. I’ll just say that it was great — the food, the ambiance, the service. Everything was beautiful.

Last day in Mexico City and I got to eat at this lovely place my Grama and I shared the duck with lentils (can’t find the name on the menu) it was delicious and so moist. I haven’t had duck this good in a long time. My mother had the Beef medallions with goat cheese and poblano pepper sauce, now even though I personally didn’t try it she loved it and ate the whole thing. Portions here are small to medium so sharing varies per dish. Service was wonderful everyone is attentive and anticipated your needs. *My only complaint is the service charge for cutlery, linens, furniture… etc. I would have never expected this from a restaurant of this caliber. It wasn’t the first time we encountered this charge but it’s still annoying and quite frankly not necessary. Thankfully we knew a local that told us if they charge you then you lower the tip. Which sucks for the wait staff because it’s more than one person waiting on you.

Wonderful place to spend a nice dinner! Great service, pleasant atmosphere and amazing food! If you are in downtown Mexico City it is a must!

Great environment & fantastic food. Definetely plan to return.

Quite the romantic Mexican experience! From the minute I drove up I was impressed with each room more beautiful than the last. The ambiance is very romantic and the sounds of the quartet were the perfect touch. We had the goat cheese puffed pastry, serrano ham wrapped cantaloupe, seafood paella, carne asada la tampiquena, and chocolate cake and absolutely loved every bite!

Not a restaurant that simply go to… this is a place that you experience! Location is a beautiful, well-​kept hacienda that dates back centuries. The food is carefully crafted to perfection and cannot be compared to others. Ideal place for special celebrations or occasions. Enjoy!

My business partner and I had dinner at the La Hacienda de los Morales this past Wednesday evening. The entire bar and restaurant décor was upscale and yet rustic at the same time. A great vibe overall. We were «walk ins» after having been referred by our hotel.
We found the service to be excellent overall with table side preparation of salads and special dishes, hand carried baskets of wonderful breads and a desert tray that looked fantastic. All in all, the overall mood and ambiance was exactly what we were looking for.
We ordered the Spanish Jamon with mellon and a Cezar salad. The Jamon was excellent and with a very generous portion. The Cezar was nothing to write home about and lacked a distinctive and sharp flavors that you would expect. This was a shame since the waiter spent a solid 5 minutes preparing it at table side for us with painstaking effort. What saved the salad was the incredible fresh and delicate focaccia bread. Whatever you do, try the bread!
My friend ordered a Cane Asada dish with a mini-​combination of a mole sauce and other side dishes. He enjoyed it and gave me a taste that was very good. Nothing to complain about here other than it being way too expensive for this type of dish as it was common at other fine houses across Mexico.
I ordered the stuffed Stuffed Poblano Peppers with hamburger and was excited to try them with all the ingredients that sounded heavenly. I will try to post a photograph of them on the site here. There was a white cream sauce with pomegranate seeds sprinkled on top. It looked delicious! As I cut into the pepper and tasted the first bite I was shocked to learn that the dish was ice cold! I assumed that this was some sort of mistake and let the waiter know but he said it should «be a little warm». It was not. I gave it my best effort and ate ¾ of one pepper before I had to give up on the rest. The waiter seemed mildly apologetic and subsequently offered to get me «another dish» but by then we were almost done with dinner. He knew that I was unhappy with it and yet waited until he had to take the plate away to offer up any solution.
The unfortunate kicker is this… Both my friend and I were struck with a severe cases of gastronomical cramping and diarrhea that hit in the middle of the night and are persisting at a lesser severity back home in the US some 36 or so hours later. We barely made it to the airport and of course the flight was risky business but we made it with the help of Lomotil. Yes, I do understand that we are Gringos with sensitive stomaches but we survived for a week prior to this eating at all manor of venues without issue. I blame the lettuce and our own judgement in ordering it more than I do the restaurant.
Overall I would not hesitate to tell you to try this beautiful restaurant and enjoy your visit to Mexico without food fear. But avoid the green leafy uncooked salads if you didn’t ingest something in advance to battle the little critters that it houses. And, if you were planning to order the Poblano Peppers on the menu, be forewarned that they serve them up cold. Not my idea of hearty Mexican dinner fare.
You can tell that I am not really an active Unilocaler. I post only when I am blown away by some level of service or quality or when I am disappointed or want to warn others. In this case it was a mixture. I was blown away by the ambiance and the architecture of the place and wanted to express caution to others on the food safety and peppers! Cheers.
PS… We took a taxi back to our hotel and it was 10 pesos more than the fare to get there. Not the scam that was reported in another post.

Paella ok. Flan de leche ok.
Las únicas cosas que justifican la fama del lugar es su arquitectura y el servicio.

Must go to restaurant if you are in Mexico City, This Hacienda is so nice and big, upscale restaurant without a doubt. Amazing food and service and the prices are good, they do not charge you an arm and a leg to eat here. If you want to go eat a nice dinner, at a nice place with out draining your pockets on a dinner come here.

Estuve ahí el viernes y quedé impresionada con el restaurant y el servicio.
Totalmente recomendado! Cuando regrese al DF, iré a la Hacienda de Los Morales!

If you are traveling to Mex City and you’re thinking to visit this restaurant in taxi, AVOID this place. To get there, you pay the regular fare from a regular city cab. BUT, to leave that place, be aware that the restaurant will call a taxi that will charge you $ 10 US dollars per mile! There’s no other way around with the taxi.
Not even in Europe, or L.A. nor San Francisco you would pay that kind of taxi fare.
Shame on Hacienda de los Morales!
The place is getting weaker by the year.

Beautiful building, great food, great wine… excellent Tequila — especially the «Mexican Flag Tequila Trio»! ;-)
The grounds of the hacienda are spectacularly kept… an absolutely beautiful location…
I had never eaten escamoles before, so it was a unique (and very delicious!) experience… ;-)
If you are in Mexico City I would definitely try it :-)

My absolute favorite restaurant in D.F., without exception! Gorgeous location, historic building in the Polanco. Home of many high-​end wedding receptions and parties for the top-​shelf crowd.
Exceptionally diverse menu, all of it First Class. Great service as well, along with a small group of musicians going table to table. (including the guy that pushes the upright piano around the dining room!)
On one visit I was fortunate enough to experience one of their private dining rooms with some government officials… What an incredible meal and personal service… VERY classy! I highly recommend this place!

If you are in this area, I highly suggest a visit to this restaurant.
La Hacienda de los Morales is very history oriented and is more than just a restaurant. Actually, Weddings, Baptismal celebrations, and other gatherings are held here frequently. I can only review and rate this establishment based on the restaurant.
Facility:
Seriously, beautiful and clean. The walls are probably more than a foot thick, the cielings have amazing hardwood, live ivy is grown indoors and strewn across the cielings, the décor is very traditional. Step out onto the balcony area or child play area and you have a view of the local vista. They sometimes have a singer and karaōke, too. The bars are beautiful as well.
Food/​Drinks:
The restaurant offers Spanish and English menus, so you will not be at a total disadvantage if your Spanish is minimal. All food is presented beautifully.
Almost immediately, a mobile bar is rolled to your table and you are offered tequila or other spirits. The mobile bar will keep coming back to you if desired!
Our table shared so much food. Be adventerous! Try the ant eggs (delicious) and the crispy grasshoppers. Plop a spoonful of the ant eggs into a blue corn tortilla and munch away. I was hesitant at first, but loved it. Other good food to try as appetizers: Sopes, Tostadas, and chicharones. The grasshoppers were just ok, but locals love them.
Entrees all looked good. I had beef cooked perfectly medium rare. Others in my party had and enjoyed chicken with pumpkin sauce, arrachera, cactus, and fajitas to name a few items,
Save room for dessert! The dessert menus are pictoral so that helps you choose what you’d like to try. I love crème brûlée, so I tried the mamey crème brûlée. Mamey is a local fruit. It was good, but I have had many better than this. I would recommend choosing something else.
Service:
Service here was great. I have no complaints; only praise. Keep up the amazing work!
Parking:
You will need to get your parking voucher validated after having dinner.

Un lugar de toda la vida a donde llevas a festejar a tu mama o a tu agüelita… y justo eso fue lo que hice ahí. Que ya de pilón disfruté enormemente mi sopota de cebolla y mi filete pimienta, pues eso también.
La verdad es que a este lugar sólo había venido a bautizos, bodas, primeras comuniones, bar mitzvahs y demás, pero nunca había pasado por su restorán. Buena opción para los que disfrutan como yo del San Angel inn, sólo que al otro lado de la ciudad, y sin la terraza con los pajarillos y el agüita de la fuente.
De postre, siempre siempre recomendaré las fresotas con crema de la casa.
La concurrencia en fin de semana consta desde familias con niños hasta mujeres cazando algún ricachon picaflor.
La cuenta… cara… muy cara. Aún dividida.

Probably the classiest place to eat in the DF. This is where you go for a wedding reception, or on your honeymoon, or to impress a lady, or pretend to have pockets as deep as Carlos Slim for one night only.
It’s been a while since my first (and last) visit, so I can’t recall everything we ordered. It probably doesn’t matter anyway since it appears they change their menu frequently. I just remember everything being delicious, from the complimentary bread to the dessert, while being treated like royalty by the impeccably efficient wait staff.
You’ll pay a hefty premium, even by American standards. But it’s worth it, if nothing else but for the history, the ambience, and the overall experience.

Cada año, esta hacienda es testigo de grandes fiestas, conmemoraciones y momentos que las personas festejan en un gran lugar como lo es éste.
En mi experiencia, aquí se ha llevado a cabo la fiesta de fin de año de la «chamba», con un excelente ambiente, rodeado de espacios grandes, con un toque clásico y sin perder la elegancia.
Los salones son muy espaciosos, con una pista de baile grande, un escenario a la vista de todos y un servicio de meseros que vale la pena (sólo tengan cuidado porque los whiskeys, y en general las bebidas alcoholicas, las sirven muy cargadas).
Antes de llegar a los salones se encuentra en el restaurante y, aunque no entré especialmente a él, debo admitir que se me antojaba más lo que servían en el que lo ofrecían en mi cena de fin de año.
Recomiendo que coticen los precios de sus diversos servicios. Para una boda queda excelente, incluso para que realicen ahí mismo su sesión de fotos. Fiestas de graduación y fiestas decembrinas también tendría cabida en este lugar. Sólo tengan cuidado con los niños, no hay mucho lugar para ellos jueguen.

La Hacienda de los Morales nos remite a la época de la Colonia porque es uno de los pocos edificios del estilo que podemos encontrar en Polanco. Su fachada grande y con muchas plantas nos permite visualizar la belleza desde afuera, para después entrar y dejar el coche en el valet. Este lugar tiene los mejores salones, jardines y comida que pueden encontrar y si están planeando algún evento es una buena opción.
He llegado a tener la experiencia de ir a eventos de mañana, tarde y noche, aceptando que lo más bonito es la parte del jardín para un desayuno, pero también el salón grande para un evento nocturno. Si lo que buscan es un evento un poco más pequeño no duden en preguntar porque también existen algunos salones pequeños donde se puede organizar una comida familiar proyectando un video en la pared.

Lo mejor de la Hacienda de los Morales son sus espacios. Tanto la casa misma como sus famosos jardines en los que cada fin de semana hay bautizos, cumpleaños y otros festejos. Es uno de los lugares con más tradición en la ciudad y a los que muchas veces se lleva a extranjeros para presumir un concepto extraño de «lo mexicano».
La comida se quedó atrapada en el pasado, en una mezcla entre lo mexicano y ese concepto ambiguo «internacional». No está mal, pero tampoco resulta particularmente atractiva.

Este lugar en lo particular me trae muchos recuerdos y muy lindos, muchos eventos familiares los hemos realizado ahí y es grato que haya sido en un lugar tan espectacular como este. De entrada la fachada no es tan llamativa pero son pocos los lugares que encontrarás así en el DF.
Los jardines es algo que no te debes perder, de hecho vale mucho la pena hacer una sesión de fotos para una boda o quince años, es un lugar simplemente hermoso, digno hasta para ir a desayunar un fin de semana con tu familia. El servicio es muy bueno desde que llegas al valet parking, entonces es una excelente opción para celebrar un cumpleaños o simplemente una comida de fin de año, de lo mejor. Lo recomiendo ampliamente para lo que quieras hacer y quedar estupendamente bien, por cierto, la vestimenta es formal para que no vayas a ir muy en fachas porque es otro plus del lugar, que la gente se viste formal dando otro aire a tus celebraciones.

La Hacienda de los Morales está ubicada en lo que fueron las tierras para la crianza de las 1eras. moreras para la crianza del gusano de ceda en 1647 se le dio el nombre de San Juan de Dios de los Morales y la tradición de la Hacienda ha perdurado por más de 4 siglos, en el lugar vivieron varias familia Mexicanas y el casco de la Hacienda ha sido remodelado en varias ocasiones sin perder el diseño original.
El Restaurante de los Morales te ofrece de las delicias de la comida mexicana e internacional y salones para tus eventos con elegancia, distinción y tradición incluso ofrecen todo tipo de eventos kosher

La Hacienda de los Morales es un magnifico restaurante de comida mexicana al cual no pueden faltar, tienen una extensa carta de comida típica mexicana que debes probar y una muy variada de vinos.
Otra ocasión que visité la Hacienda de los Morales fue en una fiesta de fin de año de una empresa para la que laboré, el lugar es enorme, te transporta a otra época al instante, tiene una arquitectura tan maravillosa, unos acabados tan perfectos y un jardín enorme en el que sin duda y muchos de los que lo han visitado, serían las persona más felices del mundo. La atención de las personas que trabajan ahí es inigualable, siempre te dan el mejor servicio y atención, les aseguro que estando ahí jamás les faltará nada.
El lugar no es muy económico, pero vale la pena reunirse con la familia e ir a visitarla, conocer y disfrutar de lo maravillosa y única que es la Hacienda de los Morales. Y si también buscas hacer una reservación
