Cambalache Polanco

Polanco, Mexico City · Argentine · $$$$

Cambalache is a porteño institution transplanted to Polanco - the kind of Argentine parrilla where the chimichurri is the real one, not the tourist version, and the empanadas arrive before you've had time to study the menu. Argentina and Mexico share a language but not a beef culture; Cambalache is the place to understand the difference. Polanco's well-heeled crowd has made it a fixture for business dinners and long family lunches that drift well into the afternoon.
