The sign out front says it has been around since 1993 so that is a good sign. Comida corrida options with salad, soup, main dish, side, dessert and tea, most for 85 pesos. Most are vegan takes on Mexican favorites such as milanesa or tacos al pastor. Tasty food and a great value. Restaurant is located in an apartment building one floor up from the street so it is quieter. The server seemed surprised to see an American there. Hopefully with this review some other American vegetarian tourists will give it a try. Restaurant is cash only and menus and staff are monolingual Spanish.

I'd come back just for the sweet bread.

We were not sat on the patio as those seats were all taken by reservations but we were able to walk out and take a picture of the plaza below. I chose the pulpo adobado. Grilled octopus, a spicy avocado sauce and biryani rice. The octopus was nicely charred and the creamy avocado sauce went well with the charred octopus. The octopus was grilled perfectly it had a nice char outside and was tender inside. I tried a bit of my friends Chamorro de Verdi (pork shank) in mole sauce. The pork shank was braised beautifully and fall off the bone tender. The mole sauce was flavorful and not overly sweet. The portion was also huge. The meal came with bread accompanied with 2 types of butter regular and a coco infused butter. Both had salt on the side which added a bit of flare to it. I preferred the regular butter but enjoyed trying the chocolate one, it reminded me more of a breakfast pastry or a dessert. Overall great meal, service, ambiance and nice view.

The food was also reasonably priced for the quality and location, which was definitely a plus. There were several highlights, but the steak entrée was a bit too fatty for my personal taste. While it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, the rest of the experience was still enjoyable overall. I'd give it 3 stars -- a solid spot for the ambiance, service, and location, with room for improvement on some of the food execution.

This spot is perfect for a date night but the food was just okay. I liked everything we tried, except for the fish which was a bit dry. Service could be improved though, or maybe it was just our server. She was pretty short with us and cleaned our plates quickly (which I normally wouldn't mind but I was just getting used to the slower pace of Mexico City, where dining can take as long as you want it to). Then when the bill came, she demanded a 15% or 20% tip, when every other place we had been to ASKED if we wanted to tip and started at 10%. This was a bit of a turnoff and left a bad taste in our mouths as we left.

I had one with meat only and the second "con todo" which in this case means served with both a red and green salsa. This is probably a minority opinion but I preferred the meat-only taco. I could really appreciate the flavor of the meat and the texture of the crispy edges with just a squeeze of lime. Service was fast and easy. I can't speak to the atmosphere so much as we ate outside at the small bar on the street. Well worth the stop.
