Edificio dos Patios: how to find and plan a patio visit

Exterior view of Edificio dos Patios in Polanco, Mexico City, focusing on the building entrance

If you searched 'edificio dos patios' looking for a patio dining spot, the most likely place you mean is Corporativo Dos Patios at Avenida Ejército Nacional 350 in Polanco, Mexico City. It's a multi-tenant corporate and retail complex in the Miguel Hidalgo borough, and yes, it does have food and beverage tenants inside, including Cielito Querido Café and Mr. Sushi. But before you head out, you need to know exactly which tenant you're going for, because the building itself is just the address, not a single restaurant.

First: Which 'Edificio Dos Patios' Are You Actually Looking For?

The phrase 'dos patios' (two courtyards) shows up in multiple contexts across Latin America, so a quick check before you go saves a lot of frustration. There are at least three distinct things the term could mean depending on where you're coming from.

  • Corporativo Dos Patios, Polanco, Mexico City: the most commonly referenced 'Edificio Dos Patios' in a dining/retail context, with food tenants at street level
  • The Siemens corporate headquarters building, also at Ejército Nacional 350 in Polanco, which earned Mexico's first double LEED certification — this is the same physical structure, just referenced by its corporate occupant
  • A residential project in Chacarita, Buenos Aires called 'Dos Patios' — a completely different building that has nothing to do with dining
  • Various architectural projects across Mexico and Peru that use 'dos patios' or 'dos patios interiores' as a design descriptor, not a venue name

For the purposes of this guide, we're focusing on the Polanco, Mexico City location. It's the one with active food and beverage tenants, it's the one that shows up in delivery apps, and it's the one most people are actually trying to visit when they search this phrase. If you're hunting for a Querétaro patio experience, the Curamoria Collection properties in that city are a separate category entirely and worth their own research. For travelers searching specifically in Querétaro, the Dos Patios query is often a mix-up with the Curamoria Collection properties in that city.

Where It Is and How to Find the Right Entrance

The full official address is Avenida Ejército Nacional Mexicano 350, Colonia Polanco V Sección, Alcaldía Miguel Hidalgo, C.P. 11560, Mexico City. The building goes by a few names interchangeably: Edificio Dos Patios, Corporativo Dos Patios, and sometimes Torre Dos Patios. They all point to the same structure.

The tricky part is that it's a multi-tenant complex, so 'just go to Dos Patios' isn't enough. When you have a specific tenant in mind, the unit locator matters. Cielito Querido Café is on the second floor (listed as floor 2 in directories). Mr. Sushi is at ground level, specifically in Local L Pb3. Smart Fit occupies unit L-01, also at street level. Smart Fit is listed as a tenant at the Dos Patios complex at Ejército Nacional No 350 Int L-01 in Miguel Hidalgo, CDMX, supporting that the site is multi-tenant beyond dining Smart Fit Dos Patios. If you're navigating the building's directory at the entrance, look for the tenant name, not just 'Dos Patios.'

By transit, Moovit routes suggest Avenida Ejército Nacional, 4380 as the closest bus reference point. Polanco is also well-served by Metro Polanco on Line 7, and the building is a walkable distance from the Auditorio area. The address sits between two of Mexico City's most recognizable neighborhoods, Polanco and Lomas de Chapultepec, so if you're orienting yourself by landmarks, you're in the upscale commercial corridor of Ejército Nacional.

What to Expect from the Patio Atmosphere

Corporativo Dos Patios isn't a sprawling open-air food hall, so reset your expectations if you're picturing something like a classic North American patio complex. The 'dos patios' name reflects the architectural design, specifically two interior courtyards that give the building its character and name. The patio feel comes from that central courtyard space rather than from rows of outdoor tables on a sidewalk. If you specifically want patio seating, the courtyard setup can vary by tenant, so it helps to check with the place you plan to visit.

The overall vibe is upscale urban professional. You're in Polanco, one of Mexico City's most affluent and polished neighborhoods. The food and drink tenants match that energy: Cielito Querido is a well-known Mexican café chain with solid coffee and light bites, the kind of spot where you can linger over a cortado on a weekday morning. Mr. Sushi brings a casual lunch and dinner option. The atmosphere during business hours is brisk and professional, but it softens in the evening when the crowds thin.

This isn't a party-patio destination. It's a working complex where food and beverage spots serve the surrounding office population and local Polanco residents. Se você está procurando a diária do patio do Detran, vale conferir horários e orientações atualizadas antes de sair, porque a programação pode variar. If you're planning an event or a big group outing, this probably isn't the right venue. For a solo coffee, a business lunch, or a casual dinner, it works well.

Visitor Essentials: Hours, Dress Code, Amenities, and Accessibility

Hours vary by tenant, and this is one of the most important things to confirm before you go. Based on publicly available listings, here's what the major tenants typically run: If you are looking into a specific Los Patios Danville liquor license, check the latest Danville licensing records or the city’s alcohol control office for current status and renewal details Dos Patios.

TenantTypical HoursNotes
Cielito Querido Café (Dos Patios)Mon–Fri 9:00–20:00Directory listing hours; verify before visiting
Mr. Sushi (Dos Patios)Mon–Sat 12:00–22:50, Sun 12:00–22:00Per Uber Eats store page; delivery and dine-in may differ
Smart Fit Dos PatiosVaries by gym scheduleNon-dining tenant; check Smart Fit app directly

Dress code at Dos Patios is smart casual at worst, and usually no code is enforced at the café or sushi spots. You're in a corporate complex in Polanco, so people tend to be dressed business casual during the week, but weekend visitors are usually in everyday clothes and no one bats an eye.

On amenities: the building has parking (essential in Polanco), and indoor climate control means you're not dependent on weather for comfort. The courtyard design does offer some outdoor-adjacent seating depending on the layout, but confirm with your specific tenant whether they have patio seating or whether it's all interior. Accessibility-wise, as a modern LEED-certified commercial building, it should have elevator access and compliant entrances, but call ahead if mobility access is a priority.

Best Time to Go and How to Plan Around Crowds

The peak crowd times at Dos Patios track closely with Mexico City's business district lunch rush, roughly 13:00 to 15:00 on weekdays. If you want a relaxed experience at Cielito Querido, aim for mid-morning (around 10:00) or late afternoon after 16:00. Mr. Sushi tends to fill up at lunch and again around 20:00 on weeknights.

Weekends are noticeably quieter since most of the foot traffic is office-based. If you want a low-key visit to either spot, Saturday or Sunday mid-afternoon is about as calm as it gets. July is summer in Mexico City, which means occasional afternoon rain showers, so if you're hoping for any open-air courtyard seating, mornings are a safer bet.

Parking

The building has its own parking structure, which is a genuine advantage in Polanco where street parking is scarce. That said, weekday lunch hours fill the lot fast. If you're driving, aim to arrive before 13:00 or after 15:30. There are also paid parking lots within a short walk along Ejército Nacional if the complex lot is full.

How to Verify Live Info Today: Hours, Events, and Promotions

Online listings for tenants inside multi-tenant buildings notoriously lag reality. The Cielito Querido hours you'll find in directories were last confirmed some time ago, and Mr. Sushi's Uber Eats page is the most consistently updated source for their current schedule. Before heading out, here's a quick verification checklist:

  1. Check the Uber Eats or Rappi listing for your specific tenant (Mr. Sushi Dos Patios, Cielito Querido Dos Patios) — delivery platforms update hours frequently and reflect real operating status
  2. Search Google Maps for the tenant name plus 'Dos Patios' or 'Ejército Nacional 350' — the hours panel is often crowd-updated and more current than static directory sites
  3. Call the building's main line at (55) 5328 2000 and ask to be connected to the tenant, or ask the reception desk about operating hours
  4. Check the tenant's own social media (Instagram is the most active channel for Mexico City food venues) for any closures, holiday hours, or promotions posted this week
  5. If you're planning a Friday or weekend visit, verify by Thursday since hours can shift for events or private bookings

Promotions and special events are almost never posted on the Dos Patios building's own channels, because the complex doesn't operate as a unified brand. Each tenant runs its own promotions. Cielito Querido's loyalty program and seasonal drinks are best tracked through their official app or Instagram. Mr. Sushi occasionally runs weekend specials, which show up on their own social handles.

Because Dos Patios is a multi-tenant building with food, fitness, and corporate tenants all sharing the same address, the practical challenge is getting to the right place once you're inside. Here's a simple decision framework:

  1. Decide on your tenant before you arrive — Cielito Querido for coffee and light bites, Mr. Sushi for lunch or dinner
  2. At the main entrance lobby, look for the tenant directory board and confirm the floor and unit number
  3. Cielito Querido is on floor 2; Mr. Sushi is at ground level in Local L Pb3 — note these before heading in
  4. If you're unsure, ask the lobby reception desk directly; the building staff know the tenant layout well
  5. For delivery, always add the unit or local number to your order address to avoid confusion with the building's main entrance

If you arrive and find a tenant is unexpectedly closed or at capacity, the immediate neighborhood has solid fallback options. Polanco and the adjacent Lomas area along Ejército Nacional have no shortage of cafés, sushi spots, and restaurants within a short walk or quick Uber ride.

Your Go/No-Go Checklist for Visiting Dos Patios Today

Run through this before you head out:

  • You've confirmed which tenant you're visiting (Cielito Querido, Mr. Sushi, or another)
  • You've checked the tenant's current hours on Google Maps or their delivery app listing
  • You know the unit/floor number (Cielito = floor 2; Mr. Sushi = Local L Pb3)
  • You have the full address: Avenida Ejército Nacional 350, Polanco V Sección, Miguel Hidalgo, CDMX 11560
  • You've planned arrival outside the 13: 00–15:00 weekday lunch rush if you want a relaxed seat
  • You know parking is available in the building but fills up at lunch; a backup parking lot plan is useful
  • You've checked the tenant's Instagram this week for any closures or special events

If you can check all of those off, you're genuinely ready for a smooth visit. Dos Patios as a destination works best when you treat it for what it is: a well-located Polanco complex with reliable, quality food tenants, not a destination patio venue in the traditional sense. The courtyard architecture gives it a pleasant atmosphere, but the real draw is convenience, quality, and location in one of Mexico City's best neighborhoods for a meal.

FAQ

What’s the easiest way to confirm which exact venue inside Edificio Dos Patios I should go to?

Search the tenant name first, then match the floor or unit label in the listing. If a directory entry only says “Dos Patios” with no unit, treat it as incomplete and use the tenant’s own page or app listing to verify the floor and entrance location.

If I arrive at the entrance and can’t find the right floor, what should I do?

Go inside and look for the tenant directories near the lobby (usually labeled by shop name and floor). If there’s no visible directory, ask the nearest front desk or security guard for the unit location for the specific tenant you’re visiting.

Is Edificio Dos Patios a single restaurant or a “food hall” with open courtyard seating?

No. It’s a multi-tenant office and retail complex, so there is not one unified kitchen or all-inclusive menu. The courtyard architecture exists, but patio-style seating depends on the tenant’s layout, and most seating can be interior rather than open-air.

Do Cielito Querido Café and Mr. Sushi have outdoor patio seating in the courtyards?

It can vary by tenant and the current setup. For the most accurate answer, check recent photos from the tenant’s own channels or call ahead and ask specifically whether any tables are in the courtyard versus fully indoors.

What if my preferred place is at capacity or closed when I get there?

Use the building as a quick “same-address fallback,” not a single-destination bet. If your target tenant is closed, choose another nearby tenant in the same building, or walk to other options along Avenida Ejército Nacional to avoid waiting too long.

Which time is best if I want to avoid the busiest lunch rush?

For the office lunch peak, expect crowds roughly between 13:00 and 15:00 on weekdays. If you want a calmer visit, aim for mid-morning around 10:00 for coffee or late afternoon after 16:00 for a lighter experience.

Are there any seasonal factors that affect a courtyard visit?

Yes. In summer, afternoon rain showers can make courtyard seating uncomfortable, even if the courtyard exists. If you specifically want any outdoor-adjacent seating, mornings are usually safer than mid-afternoon.

Is parking reliable at Edificio Dos Patios, and when should I arrive if I’m driving?

Parking exists in a dedicated structure, but weekday lunch fills it quickly. If you’re driving, plan to arrive before about 13:00, or after roughly 15:30, and be ready with a nearby paid-lot alternative if the structure is full.

What’s the most common mistake people make when using online listings for this building?

Hours and unit details can be outdated, because multi-tenant directories often lag behind reality. Treat “building-level” info as unreliable and verify through the tenant’s latest schedule, especially for holiday or weekend hours.

Is it necessary to worry about a dress code?

Usually not strictly. The safest assumption is smart casual, but most weekend visitors wear everyday clothes without issues, especially at café and sushi tenants inside the complex.

If I need accessibility support, what should I verify before going?

Even with modern elevator access expected in a commercial building, entrances and interior routes can differ by tenant. Call ahead to confirm step-free access to your specific venue, including the nearest elevator and restroom route if mobility is a priority.

Can I expect the building to be good for a large group event?

Not ideal in most cases. Since it’s a working corporate complex with tenants that each manage their own service, there usually is no single event space. If you’re organizing a group, contact the specific tenant to ask about reservations, seating limits, and whether a group can be accommodated together.
