Porchetta Pork House

We went to Porchetta after reading a review on Unilocal as it was very close to our Polanco hotel. Since I love all pork products, I figured why not give it a whirl. Well, it didn’t disappoint.
Porchetta is modern but small sized casual restaurant. The menu is limited, but what it does offer is great tasting sandwiches and a few salads. All the food has some pork in it, so it’s probably not the optimal place to eat if you are kosher or halal. There are about 8 – 10 sandwich options, around 3 different salads, and another 5 for sides. The ingredients are definitely fresh and they don’t overdo it on the sauces or spices. I had the ahogada while my wife had the chilanga. And since I ate all of mine and a good portion of my wife’s, I can attest to the fact that the sandwiches tasted good.
The décor at Porchetta is definitely casual and comfortable. There aren’t many tables in the main dining area although they do have a loft with a few seats. The staff are friendly and the service is efficient, and you can’t beat the location in Polanco. This is the type of restaurant that you’d come with your friends or kids — there’s nothing intimate or upscale about it. So if you are looking for a good value and even better pork sandwiches, give Porchetta a try.

I want this franchised and in Southern California, stat. Some of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The bread is crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside, and takes the fillings really well — the leftover sandwiches were still great the next day. San Francisco I had twice — crispy pork, caramelized onions, argula roasted garlic mayo = fantastico. Also loved the Clasica — pork loin wrapped in bacon with fennel, sage, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. The New York was good as well — kind of breakfast sandwich-​y with its fried egg and pork belly combo. And the potatoes! Roasted with rosemary and garlic and cubed pork then tossed with romano and parmesan cheese — so great. I don’t even like sandwiches that much generally, but I almost want to fly back just to get more.

Me encanto este lugar, lugar super recomendable para todo Godínez de Polanco, ya que puedes comer muy rico sin pagar tanto dinero.
El establecimiento es como tipo Starbucks pero de sándwiches de porchetta, la porchetta es una carne de puerco cocinada en horno y envuelta en tocino lo cual con la grasita es delicioso el sabor.
Pidan la original que esta para chuparse los dedos y acompáñala con una ensalada y una buena cerveza, no se van a arrepentir de la delicia pero si estas en mood de dieta mejor ni te metas a este lugar, por que aquí esta hecho para engordar y no dejar de probar, cocinan unas papas que le ponen pedazos de porchetta que están deliciosas.

Great food. Had the New York sandwich and the Papas al Ajillo. Very friendly and helpful staff. Decent prices.

Terrific service and awesome sandwiches. On great pan (huge). You could share. We also had the roasted potatoes with garlic. :-)

Un lugar que el trato es excepcional, solo que carecen de amenities para Bebés como periqueras. La comida muy buena y con tipos de sándwiches que sorprenden las «papas puercas» las recomiendo mucho

This restaurant deserves a 5 out of 5 stars.
Found it on trip advisor a while ago, and I haven’t stopped going since.
Porchetta is an italian restaurant where their pork sandwiches are literally to die for.
My favorite sandwich there is the «Chilanga“which you definitely won’t regret eating.
They have some potatoes you can share with another person named «Papas Puercas» and they are completely delicious!
Recently, I tried their tomatoe-​parmesan soup and it was pretty great as well.
This has been rated as one of Mexico’s best restaurants and I can totally see why.
Restaurant is pretty small, staff is nice, food doesn’t take long to get to you and it is not a peicey place to be in Polanco.
So if you want to grab some casual lunch with friends, family or your significant other, this would be the place to try out!

There is nothing Italian about this restaurant except the parmesan cheese in the tomato soup. It’s a pork house! Very good pork at that!

Loved this quaint restaurant and the service was great. The San Francisco was excellent. I felt like I was back eating a porcetta sandwich outside the ferry building in San Francisco. Came twice during my trip to Polanco.

Love this place, been here for six months and eat here at least once a week.
Las papas puercas, el Cubano y el New York son riquissimos!

Well cooked, tasty pork dishes. We ordered the clasica and the chilanga sandwiches as well as the papas puerca which were all amazing. Nice atmosphere. Laid back. Small, but charming. Lots of pig references. Close to Hyatt Regency. Reminded me of a hip New York or San Francisco eatery. Would definitely visit again.

This place is amazing. I’m eating here every day this week! I’ve had two different salads and 3 sandwiches: the New York, the Chilanga, and the San Francisco. They are all amazing– one is hearty, one is spicy and zesty and one is sweet and all have excellent meat quality. The bread is amazing too. I highly recommend this place. It’s my new favorite place!
