I liked the nuevos arevueoos, which is basically scrbled eggs, and it includes a side of pasta and tortillas. I also ordered a side of the fruit dish which had all different types of fruits. I took that to go because the eggs and pasta were enough for me. I noticed that they have various types of chicken platters, and perhaps I will return for lunch sometime. The I side of the restaurant was a little bit modern, and all of the wait staff were dressed professionally. It was I retesting to see how busy they were just a day before Christmas.

I chose the chilaquiles sencillos, it's a smaller sized portion with a side of black beans. I thought the sauce had good flavor. You also get some bread to dip in the excess sauce. I also got a limonada, which was standard. Overall, I would recommend this place if in the area.

It melted in my mouth almost like custard, in such a delicious way, and the flavor was perfect. WOW! The hot chocolate is also delicious, and frothed/served table side. Not too sweet. It was still their breakfast menu so we got mole enchiladas and some sort of enmolados with salsa verde. I preferred the latter, but it didn't have as much chicken on it as I'd like. I'd come back just for the sweet bread.

We were a large party and had no issues being seated quickly. Being only midly proficient in English was some what of a struggle. The appetizers were really good. We had the fish tacos and a vegan in our group had the squash blossom quesadillas and loved them so much they ordered the same for their main. We also had the table side guacamole and salsa. Fun to see made but the table felt that it could have been made spicier and maybe they took the heat easy on us based on being Americans. The main dishes were all good. From seabass cooked in a plantain leaf to lamb in a plantain leaf to a full fried snapper and a pork dish. The sides were easily just simple rice and beans and uneventful. The drinks were not what we were used to either. All in all I'm not mad that we ate here but I don't know that I would seek it out.

I also loved the call button at the table, which made it easy to get help without trying to flag someone down. The tacos de cabeza were solid. The meat was incredibly soft and flavorful. The pozole con pollo was also good, with a comforting broth that warms your soul. On the flip side, some dishes fell short. The guacamole and flautas de pollo were bland, and the tacos de bistec were okay. It was missing a smoky char and deeper flavor. This place gets packed so be prepared to wait around 30 minutes or longer in line, especially during peak hours. All in all, great experience for the service and a few standout dishes, but a hit or miss depending on what you order.

However, the food and service are at the top of their game. I ordered regular tacos de barriga which can almost be considered barbeque. They tasted the same as barbeque. The restaurant is busy but there wasn't any sort of wait to be seated. They actually have a person who seats customers. Again, this is usually not the case in Mexico City. I have not visited any other restaurants under the same name, and I'm sure there is very little difference between any of them. This location is somewhat further away from the central parte of the city, so I can imagine it is probably less busy here.

Honestly though, the real showstopper was dessert... hello, pan elote ice cream! Can we please take a pint home next time? Service was completely on point -- attentive, polished, and welcoming. The wine list was solid, and I had the Tacuba cocktail made with jamaica and mezcal... absolutely delicious. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend visiting this iconic, historic restaurant. It's worth the wait!
