Alondra reminds me of those coffee sops in Milan in the Plaza del Duomo. It's just a place where you can sit down, enjoy the ambiance of the city, people watch, and admire the cathedral while you have a good meal or sip on a drink.
But Alondra beats it in one respect: the food is pretty amazing.
I grew up in Cuernavaca and visit about every year. This spot has become one of our favorites. The soup, the sopes with pollo and chorizo, and sandwiches - everything we tried was delicious.
They make coffee with condensed milk (as an option) which is sweeter and delicious. We ordered one churro, then another, then we ended up getting two orders of the churros with chocolate, vanilla, and cajeta (milk caramel) sauces. I am pretty sure we could have eaten another order.
We will be back next time we are in Cuernavaca. You should, too. read more
