Though it definitely has a more refined atmosphere and menu than your standard cafe, Mate Bistro…read moreboth impressed and disappointed. What is interesting and exciting about this restaurant is the menu, which has a mix of traditional fare (with a modern twist) and more American style breakfast items (with Mexican influences). You'll find huevos rancheros, waffles, chilaquiles, omelets, and French toast, plus other interesting and unique offerings. Unfortunately, for us, the experience felt like it could have been better--meaning there were a lot of great ideas, but not great execution. Located in the middle of a neighborhood, it wasn't the easiest place to find or get to, but I would actually recommend that people make the effort if they're interested in trying something different. The interior itself is modern and stylish, with warm colors, brick, leather, and plenty of light; and, perhaps because it isn't a very large restaurant, it has a very cozy and intimate feel. The food, while good, could have been better--part of that, of course, is just personal preference, but some of the food was lukewarm or room temperature--but the coffee drinks were terrible. The americano was weak, and had a strange taste I couldn't quite put my finger on, and I couldn't even taste the espresso in the cappuccino, which was basically all milk. The first thing we did after we left here was get a coffee. Of the three things we ordered, the Criolla crepe was definitely the best, stuffed with a flavorful filling of chicken, corn, peppers, and cilantro, and topped with a delicious cheese sauce. There was, however, only one crepe, which is a pretty stingy serving. I also had to say that the refried beans here were probably the best beans we had during our trip, they truly were delicious--they would have been better, though, if they had been warm. The crepe, it should be said, was the only thing that came out hot. The Bacon Omelette, which also had spinach and mushrooms, was also very good, and went perfectly with the simple salad served with it. Along with the lukewarm beans it was a satisfying meal, but a larger omelette would have been nice. The Huevos a la Florentina is similar to something like an Eggs Benedict, with poached eggs served on slices of toast and covered with that delicious cheese sauce. It was good, though, but was served with only a small serving of turkey ham for the entire dish and a serving of delicious (but cold) beans. Overall I really feel that, despite the bad drinks and underwhelming portions, I could have gone with four stars, but when you add the average, unspectacular service, and the fact that a lot of the food wasn't hot, it's hard to justify four stars. I would say, though, that I would absolutely like to go back and explore the menu some more, and hope for a better experience. As unique and interesting as this place is, it really is worth giving it a shot, just maybe have your coffee and a light snack somewhere else first.

I ordered the Chilaquiles de la Casa with conchinita pebil (slow cooked shredded pork in a salsa verde and my friend had the chilaquiles with a fried egg. We both had a cappachino with mine having amaretto. The Chilaquiles were delicious but very filling. The coffee drinks were superb. They make some very artistic coffees.

Once known for its churros and hot chocolate that were sold in the evening, which sadly are no more, the restaurant still maintains its air of elegance and prestige bestowed by the characters who have dined here through the centuries. Entering the dining room is like stepping into history; the elegant furniture, paintings, and even the walls speak of another time, when the baroque was at its height in colonial Querétaro. The food matches the decor in elegance and sophistication. Both breakfast and dinner are served every day, and like the place itself, the food draws from tradition to present something inherently Mexican in a contemporary light. Breakfast offers the never absent Pan Dulce, fresh fruit juice, hot coffee, and an array of delicious omelettes, egg dishes, and other regional favorites such as chilaquiles and enchiladas for a full and satisfying meal. Dinner offers an even more elegant meal, showcasing ingredients and techniques from Mexico in a seasonal menu. A gem from centuries past, the Comedor is open to hotel guests and non-guests alike. Eating here will certainly make you feel like nobility.

We each ordered a different beverage and they were all so cute. I have to say the chai latte that my sister ordered was the best I've ever had. My mocha was super delicious but I was feeling a little jealous of her drink order lol. They were out of verde sauce for my chilaquiles but the rojo was amazing.
