Chapulín

Chapulín is a Mexican restaurant that pays tribute to the country’s culinary heritage through a journey inspired by the fields and seas of Mexico. It showcases a connection to the land and water with a cold seafood bar, a volcanic stone and clay comal, and the aroma of embers, reflecting the use of traditional tools and techniques. The menu spans many regions of Mexico, blending pre-Hispanic and traditional influences with contemporary methods such as smoking, roasting, and charcoal grilling. The ingredients are carefully sourced from cooperatives of fishermen and farmers to ensure freshness and authenticity, with corn being a central element alongside other staples like cilantro, onion, and serrano chili. Located in Polanco within the Hotel Presidente InterContinental, Chapulín offers a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere with private rooms and a terrace that blend elegance with Mexican cultural elements. The cuisine highlights innovative seafood inspired by the seafood restaurants of the Pacific coast, country dishes, and grill-centered preparations. The culinary direction in Mexico City is led by José Luis Sánchez Ronquillo, whose training includes prestigious kitchens in Mexico, Spain, and Japan. The restaurant also features signature mixology to complement its fresh and grilled menu.
