Excellent restaurant with great ambience and food. Some interesting things observed were that it’s a Mexican restaurant and instead chips we were served with bread, butter like Italian restaurant. Also we ordered soup which was totally dry and made of noodles very tasty though
Cannot speak their praises enough. The wait is long but as soon as you are sat you are met with amazing hot chocolate and pastries.
Food was excellent, but the pastries, nata, and hot chocolate were the standouts. Will return immediately as soon as we are back in town.

Highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you are in the area. Their hot chocolate is yummy! Tres leches was ok but the chillaques with the green sauce was just amazing. The interior was so beautiful and they have wifi so if you want to catch up on those emails or just browse with a sip of hot chocolate it's a great place.
Sunday lunch hour was very hectic, about an hour wait to get seated. There were many servers but didn't seem like it was enough. Servers were running around and forget to check up on you. I had the mole negro with chicken breast and it was good. I like the sauce, lots of spices, a lil spicy, but not sweet. Chicken on the other hand was slightly overcooked and bland w/o the sauce. Hot chocolate was good but I didn't think it was worth the price. I would not wait next time if there's a line.
First time. I ordered the shrimp tacos, albondegas and a beer. The shrimp was perfectly cooked. The spices were a perfect compliment, green salsa was provided on the side. The albondegas were served with a chipotle tomato sauce, along with tortillas and beans. The albondegas were excellent. The entire meal was flavorful and filling. I thought the prices were reasonable for the quality
An excellent restaurant. Price to value very good. The food and service (Gracias an Orlando!) outstanding. Very nice ambiance. We spent hours over a fine lunch. We can recommend the sopa de verdolaga, chile relleno de queso, and the mole verde. The menu is full of classics. I might make the suggestion that they work on their tortillas, perhaps to match some of the others we are enjoying in CDMX.
I just had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant. Let me tell you, the food was nothing short of amazing. I opted for the grilled octopus, and it was so tender, it practically felt like butter in my mouth. My husband went with the chicken and goat cheese sauce, which was an absolute delight – it's truly a dish to die for.
The restaurant's ambiance was fantastic, setting the perfect tone for our evening. What made the experience even better was our server, Jonathan. He was absolutely incredible, being both friendly and incredibly attentive. He also gave us some great recommendations, including their specialties.
However, I do have one piece of feedback for the management. It was quite noticeable that there were no female servers. I spotted only one or two female employees in the restaurant, but the absence of female servers in 2023 is disappointing. Nonetheless, this didn't overshadow the fantastic dining experience we had. We'll definitely be returning when they hire more female servers.
