Mexico City’s culinary scene rises to new heights with an exceptional proposal at Chambao Polanco: an exclusive six-course menu where wagyu takes center stage.
“Meat Experience by Rodrigo Rivera Río” is a limited-time experience that celebrates product excellence, mastery of fire, and gastronomic creativity.
The talent behind the experience
The menu was designed by renowned chef Rodrigo Rivera Río, the creative mind behind KOLI Cocina de Origen, a restaurant awarded a Michelin Star in Mexico in 2024 and 2025.
With a vision that fuses tradition, contemporary technique, and culinary storytelling, the chef crafted an experience that not only highlights the quality of wagyu, but also tells his personal story with meat as the central ingredient.
A Six-Course Menu Where Wagyu Shines
The experience begins with a Bone Marrow Wagyu Tartare, aged in mezcal and accompanied by Siberian caviar and grilled country bread.
Among the starters, standouts include the Hoja Santa Surf & Turf Hand Roll, featuring king crab and roasted bone marrow, and the Short Rib with ash mole, a deep and sophisticated interpretation of Mexican tradition.
The main courses further solidify the ingredient’s leading role:
Wagyu A5 Lorenza, topped with black truffle and lacto-fermented chiles.
Australian Wagyu aged in mezcal for 30 days, served with black garlic, tomatillo jus, and beetroot with yuzu.
The finale surprises with a Wagyu Crème Brûlée, incorporating the cut’s rich fat into a sweet, elegant, and unexpected creation.
Fire, Technique, and a Multisensory Experience
Chambao’s identity is deeply tied to the grill and premium proteins as its central focus. Wagyu elevates this philosophy: it is a meat that demands technique, respect for the ingredient, and knowledgeable service that transforms dinner into a spectacle.
This collaboration with Grupo RosaNegra reinforces its commitment to creating experiences that go beyond the plate. The restaurant’s vibrant and carefully curated atmosphere turns each service into a memorable event, ideal for business dinners as well as special celebrations.
A Limited-Time Opportunity
The menu will be available starting March 12, 2026, for a limited time at Chambao Polanco, at an approximate cost of $2,700 MXN per person, excluding beverages.
If you’re looking for a luxury dining experience in Polanco, this wagyu tasting menu at Chambao is a truly unmissable opportunity.
