There is an English menu available online but not in the restaurant. Here's where I get confused. The service is excellent, full white tablecloth treatment, old-school European style. No detail is missed. Then we get to the food. It's really pretty good, all told. Here's where the attention to details goes sideways. The bread rolls felt as if they had been sitting since yesterday. The beans, although delicious, had sat around on the plate long enough to be room temperature and develop a crust. The totopos stuck in the beans were in the beans long enough to get soggy. The rice served alongside the moles was barely above room temperature and a bit dried out. All the food, in general, needed to arrive from the kitchen much warmer. Essentially, anything that could be made ahead of time was, and then left sitting out. It doesn't fit and I don't get it.

We walked by this place one night after visiting the artisan markets and made it a point to come…read moreback, since we'd never been to a "pozolería" before. For visitors who aren't acquainted: A pozolería is a place where they specialize in pozole. Pozole is a traditional hominy soup/stew. Pozole usually comes with pork or chicken; we both chose shredded chicken. It also comes with a plate of garnishes that you can mix in as you like (kind of like pho). Here, I think they had shredded lettuce, sliced radishes, chopped onion, limes, plus crispy tostadas. There's a spicy red seasoning on the table you can sprinkle in, but a little goes a long way. (I personally can't handle super-hot spice, but more importantly, the pozole is so delicious that I wouldn't want to cover the flavor.) Note that they have two kinds of pozole here: white and red. We chose white, which is the regular base. Red is with a chili pepper broth. (Some places also have green, with different ingredients yet.) You also have a choice of sizes: small, medium, large. Our server was so kind as to show us the bowls to help us choose. I wasn't sure if medium would fill me up but by the time you add all those wonderful fresh side ingredients, you have a solid meal. For fun, we ordered a little Carlota de Limón dessert, which came in a little covered plastic cup. I'd never heard of this before but it was quite tasty, a little like a lime tiramisu in texture (no coffee). I'd definitely get it again. Our server was down-to-earth, friendly, and kind. Note that you kind of have a paper to fill out, almost like at a sushi place... but it's not that hard. Although if you don't know any Spanish, you might want to be prepared to look up a few words. The setting is simply pleasant; it seems to be a classic old building, not overly renovated but with high ceilings, colorful blue walls, beautiful old windows, fans, and the occasional tile mosaic. The menu on the wall is retro cool, I thought. There are tables on the first floor but we enjoyed the airiness of the second floor, and our table by a window overlooking the street and a colorful church. This felt "real" in the best kind of way. You feel like the restaurant has been here a while and that they know exactly what they're doing. It isn't a fancy tourist place with fusion recipes and whatnot; it is a place with really good food where locals eat. We loved the pozole and the setting and absolutely recommend it.

After having read several nice Old reviews, we decided to spend 2 nights at this small place…read more Unfortunately the experience was bad because we had no hot water at all in the bathroom for shower and wash hands. This is June and it was cold in this mountain town. There was no one onsite after dark, and hotel was completely empty. Included breakfast was very basic foods and the whole place was just deserted like a scary ghost town. We regret staying at this small place but the manger Veronica promised us that we will be refunded for one night. After many email inquiries about when the refund will be, the manger never responded with a definitive answer after 6 months untill recently they just not responded at all. Don't expect any help to carry your luggage up through the steep concrete steps. Once you check in and make payment, you are on your own. There are so many much better choices. Don't be fooled by those old good reviews. The prime time of this hotel is long gone as the management don't care about the paid customers, and having customers return at all. Just the one time deal for them.

Arrived at 6:15pm and sadly, much like most restaurants in Puebla these days, the beautiful dinning rooms were without patrons. Do not take this as a sign of a problem with the restaurants; it is a sign of the Mexican economy, fear of travel to Mexico and results of the current US President's actions. In any event, there are two dinning rooms, the first one is less formal and only had tables for 5 or more, but has a beautiful carved wood alter and is inviting. We chose to go ahead and sit at large table in the informal dinners area. Wait staff was attentive and while I was attempting to improve my Spanish, I did ask for an English menu and the had them. Also the staff were happy to explain ingredients we had not heard of such as an edible semi-succulent leaf that accompanied 2 of my 3 dishes. The meal started with an amuse-bouche of the day, which was like tiny empanada. We requested margaritas mas fuerte and were happy we did. The next dish we both order was the both beautiful and tasty Tayuda Itsmeña. This dish is substantial enough to constitute a whole meal! My second dish was the salmon tartar which was delicious and equally beautiful. The salmon flavor was a bit overpowered, but I loved the sweet flavors of the mango sauce and passion fruit intertwined with the raw red onions and cabbage strips. For mains I had the chicken breast and my friends dined on the filet fillet mignon both dishes had HUITLACOCHE as an ingredient and both were delicious! The deserts were very interesting. My dinner companion enjoyed a sponge cake made with special leaves that was presented with crystalized parsley and arranged to look like trees in a terrarium. As for price, this is the most expensive restaurant I have been to in my week of dining in Puebla, however my (1person) total bill for 3 courses, a margarita and a still-water was $26.50 which is less than a main course alone in a less nice restaurant in California. If you want a fine dinner or are a foodie this is your place.
