Selene
Polanco has every option imaginable when it comes to restaurants. Anzures, the neighborhood just to the south, has Selene. It’s located right underneath a strip club and a couple bigger—and fancier—taquerias, but this is where you’ll find the best al pastor in town.

They are the definition of “if you know, you know,” when you ask locals.
