Chilaquiles rojos con barbacoa
Andrea M.

This location is in a mall, you check in at the front desk and then get seated. The wait wasn't too long, and we were greeted with our pick from the pastry basket. We got some cafe de olla and chilaquiles verdes y rojos. This place is solid, come try it!

The first thing they try to still from you as Mexican do, we went for dinner they add it $25 extra to the bill when we ask they told us sorry it was a mistake BS the manager Osvaldia didn't even apologize. Be aware of the bill other wise crock !!!!

Chicken mole

Me elcanta el ambiente, muy fina y acogedora right inside the nice mall. Very nice waiters. I just noticed every different parts of Mexico have different types of dishes, they ALL tastes good! Every time we go a trip, we always try restaurants that we don't have in San Diego. Cocina El Bajio is good. I ordered grilled pollo bien hecho quemado con spanish arroz. En general muy buena experiencia.

It was a perfect day for an awesome breakfast and since we were close to, we figured that this restaurant was as good as any. My wife and I started out with cafe Americano, along with two concha pastries. The coffee tasted pretty typical and so did the conchas which I have had several times before. Our Server was great and he spoke pretty good English which made things easier for us. I ordered the huevos ala Mexicana breakfast meal and it was a good portion with refried beans on the side. My wife chose the two hotcakes with marmelada breakfast. We both also ordered orange juice. Our breakfast was very good, and when we needed ketchup and salsa, our Server was fast to respond. The overall ambiance of the ace was peaceful. We were both seated in their outdoor section within the mall.

Mexican sweet coffee

Amazing food. Great service. Be patient with translation if you don't know Spanish because the staff certainly is patient with you. Nice ambiance for the breakfast rush. Great accommodation. Right inside the mall.

Great start to our food crawl in Mexico City. Air conditioned place to sit down and eat amazing street food in a mall. I got 3 tacos with all the toppings--lengua, barbacoa and carnitas. Excited about the taco carts but this place is close to my hotel so I'll be back. My peers tell me the Chilaquiles are fiery. Phffft.

The waiter was incredibly nice and helpful. Feel free to ask for an English menu. The chips and sauce were yummy as well as the guacamole that come on the side of my dish. I had asked for my beef to be cooked medium, but it was quite raw. The waiter offered to have it cooked some more. The tiramisu was delightful!

Amazing Mexican hot chocolate and pan dulce complementary
Sam W.

This is an unpretentious and elegant restaurant that ranks among the finest we have visited. The service was pefectly attentive and the food was delicious. From the complimenrary whipped (at the table) hot chocolate and pan dulce (lightest, flakiest croisants this side of Paris), to the zuchinni flower omlette and the delicious pork rib meat entree, everything was perfectly seasoned. The refried beans are the best I have ever had. Then the chocolate gorditas made a perfect compliment as desert to a second serving of the hot chocolate. For those of us who tend to splatter sauces on our clothes, request a white cloth bib, you will not be the only one! Provecho!

Menu

Excellent restaurant. Beautiful interior. Service was great, the prices were very reasonable. We paid about $35.00usd for dinner and a couple shots of tequila. Extensive drink menu. I had enchiladas verde and my wife had chicken tostadas. Her chicken was cold as in chicken salad style but still very good. Highly recommend this place.

Gross tortilla soup, tasted like salty tomato soup. Tostadas were burned and the chicken was bland and flavorless. Do not eat here

Came in for breakfast 7/27/27, table for 4 on 2nd floor…read more Definitely a nice place to have breakfast outside of eating tacos every wherelse. We order pan de dulce for the table and we got 2 conchas, soft and warm just made. A chocolate roll and a fig and nata pastry along with coffee for the table. We order hievos rancheros with the red sauce. Huevos revueltos con chorizo, omelete con flor de calabaza y tamal de elote con crema. We also order a birria de res to share with the table. Service was very quick, efficient and friendly menus can be had in english or Spanish . My daughter order a hot chocolate with preparation table side, she said it was amazing. Fantastic place for brunch but arrive before 9:45am otherwise lines and some slight wait after 10am.

Found on Yelp as we were in the area. Yelp rating is earned. Came in at dinner time, like 5:45 on a…read moreweekday. Sent to 2nd for right away and seated right away as place was maybe 1/2 full. No music beyond the 2 guitar player going around table to table to see if you wanted a serenade. Skipped their offer 1st time around. Pretty quiet, bright and clean. Found that waiter spoke a little English and with our little Spanish got things done. Menus are bilingual Spanish-English. Ordered 4 lamb tacos, chile en nogada, cooked chicken in green sauce and a fish dish (forgot name, little spicy) then a coke, horchata and a pineapple drink. We got chips, cheese, sauce while waiting. Those were all nicely done but average. Dishes out maybe 10 min later. All presented well and hot. We shared each dish. Lamb tacos nicely done, little dry, but they give you some guacamole, a brown sauce, along with the green sauce and cheese with the tortilla chips. Nice, not fatty. Next was the chiles en nogada. First time tried this and really enjoyed, many flavors and nicely flavored beef. In general little on sweet side, so probably couldn't eat more than 1. The chicken in green sauce was a homey, comfort food. Nicely cooked chicken leg and thigh was an ever so slightly spicy sauce. Also came with tortilla wraps and Spanish riceLastly was the spicy baked fish. Done well, fell apart pretty easily, was spicy, but not too much. Had green beans on side done well, not too soft or hard, and Spanish rice. Drinks were all a hit. Coke is coke. Horchata and pineapple juice served in big mugs. Pineapple tastes freshly squeezed and horchata was a super solid example in every way. Oh almost forgot, later in the meal we figured out how to get the 2 guitar fellows to play for us. 2 songs for 300 peso, about 7min total. They did a good job with both the guitar and singing, was enjoyable to listen to them. Would stop back again if in area.

A true gem. Impeccable service from Gustavo. Authentic, fun, creative cuisine. Can you say 5 kinds…read moreof mole? Went for dinner AND breakfast and had a great time. Very classy and elegant place.

Testal was a great culinary stop on our trip to sample straightforward, traditional Mexican comfort…read morefood. The menu balances classic staples with lesser-known regional specialties, most notably their Enchiladas Agustinas. Originating as a 19th-century spinoff of Chile en Nogada, the Enchiladas Agustinas features tortillas rolled around a savory-sweet picadillo filling of minced meat and orchard fruits. Testal smothers them in a rich, deeply stewed Mole Poblano rather than the usual walnut cream sauce, finishing the plate with a bright scatter of pomegranate seeds. The contrast between the dark, complex mole and the pop of fruit once again showcases Mexico's mastery of marrying sweet and savory profiles. We also tried the sopa fideo, a toasted vermicelli-style soup served in a tomato broth. It was a comforting, classic starter, though its flavor profile was fairly straightforward and homey. We also ordered street-style tacos topped with roasted pineapple, which brought another nice balance of charred acidity and sweetness to the meat. Each dish was well-executed and worthy of appreciation, even if it didn't quite leave me blown away or craving an immediate return. Overall, Testal is a solid, reliable option if you're looking for an unpretentious experience rooted in authentic regional traditions.

This place was highly recommended by my brother and it didn't disappoint…read more Fernanda was my sever and was helpful. The place was full and the only table available was the one by the entrance but then luckily the booth became available and I kindly asked if I may move it to and they approved and all the servers helped move my plate, cup, napkin, and fruit. Made me feel like a Princess. I met two blind customers who was super amazing and sang to me by accident bc he was looking for the bathroom as he was waiting for his blind wife. Highly highly recommend this place Tip. The refill on Coffee isn't free there's a charge The specials only come with what they offer. Loved it!!

Wonderful chain restaurant in CDMX. When I stopped by Los Bisquets mid-afternoon after my walking…read moreday tour, I was exhausted (and HUNGRY!) from lots of activities earlier that day with minimal food. I was ready to chow down a ton of things. I honestly picked Los Bisquets because even in mid/late afternoon, the place was still filled and bustling with locals. Although I felt like as a solo diner, I should grab a seat at a bar...but...I wanted a proper table to sit/relax and spreaded out more comfortably, so I chose to sit at a small dining table...and never got any dirty look from the staff there or anything! I was so hungry that I just pointed to whatever was on the menu/leaflet presented on a small poster on the table. And..I was glad I picked that! Looking back, I think it was a fried longanisa set or something. The food was good and hit my spot for sure. The set had chips as appetizers (I think you get them anyways regardless of what you order), soup and a nice/large set of the food. I liked that the fried longanisa was fresh off the stove and not soggy at all. It was so satisfying eating that with salad/rice....and the soup! Overall, I liked what I got! The only thing was..it was a lil mild. I wish I had gotten something with more spice/interesting taste to it. However, especially for that day...I really enjoyed the food and I thought I picked the right spot to rest my feet and eat!
