Classic Spanish cooking in upscale Polanco with standout seafood and Iberian staples, solid ambiance, but inconsistent execution and service; prices align with the neighborhood.
Asturiano Polanco presents an attractive classic Spanish dining room in a prime location, but food quality shows mixed execution—croquettes and seafood shine while paella runs dry and fish oversalts inconsistently. Service varies from polished to dismissive, and quality consistency across visits remains unreliable, preventing a higher grade despite the elegant setting and traditional Spanish menu. Recent critical incidents suggest a slight downward trajectory that compounds these concerns.
One caveat: Paella dryness and seafood overcooking mentioned by several diners; ask for timing and texture preferences
