The hot chocolate was the best I ever had, even better than the best I can make at home (and I'm an expert). Service matched the most luxurious restaurants with waiters who were invisible but shows up about five seconds before I realized I wanted something more. They were willing to suggest dishes and their suggestions were superb. We were also fortunate that they were hosting a Harry Potter-themed party that night and had all the decorations up already. In spite of being a top-quality restaurant, it still felt homey. I'll be back next time I'm in Mexico City.

This place was amazing! The entrance was beautifully…read moredecorated for Día de Los Muertos, there were tons of steps to go up though (so be mindful of that) , this is a traditional Mexican restaurant and it feels like you're arriving at someone's home, as you make your way to your table, you pass by the kitchen area and a souvenir shop, super super cute!! The service was great, they were very attentive and several waiters/waitresses take care of your table so they're quick to clean up your plates and such which I appreciated, you had space for your next dish. When we arrived, we happen to get there while a show was happening, there was music and singing and just all very colorful, it was loud and fun! The menu had a good variety of food, and the food itself was pretty tasty. We started with some appetizers and we got the huaraches and those were omgggggg finger licking goodness! Those are a must! We also had the barbacoa and it was good but kinda dry, not my fav here, I'd prob skip it. We had the chicken soup and that was great! The guacamole was kinda uneventful and was missing salt and spice. To drink we ordered 2 pitchers of aguas frescas, tamarind was one and it was nice and refreshing but the real winner was the Horchata, that one was made just right! For dessert we had the helado de mamey and that was really really good! Price range is on the higher end BUT with the show and the service you can see why. I'd def recommend visiting this place at least once!

This restaurant is a staple. My family is from Mexico City and has been coming to this restaurant…read morefor over 45 years. I've been coming here since I was a little girl. Every time we're in Mexico City, we HAVE to stop here - it's the law :) On this last visit to see my family, it was also my husband's first time to Mexico City so I was really excited for him. They have shows on weekends so make a reservation in advance to get a good table near the stage. On this last visit we were a group of 15. Their star dish is the barbacoa. It's not to everyone's liking but it's worth a try. Their carnitas are also delicious. They had a 13 piece mariachi band this night, and I LOVE mariachi. They also had a play going on w/the mariachi band. This restaurant experience was a highlight for my husband. They have an indoor playground for the kids. The drinks were good. they also have cafe de la olla (Mexican coffee). Lots of foreigners come here as well. On this night, there were folks visiting from Switzerland and other countries. As you'll notice, if it's your first time here and you're coming from abroad or celebrating something special, it's tradition to pass a napkin to the MC, with a note of what you're celebrating etc. and they'll announce it. My husband didn't know this tradition and my mom wrote a note for him ;) So he was super surprised when the MC called him by name in front of the whole restaurant and they welcomed him to Mexico City :) I was pleasantly surprised to see the staff were very considerate and conscious of covid-19. All of the servers were wearing masks and a face shield. All of the non-server staff had masks. You don't see the shield anymore in the US but was so happy to see it here. I felt a lot safer. Also throughout the restaurant, you'll see a wall of old photos of the owners with famous Mexican celebrities who have dined at this restaurant. If you're in Mexico City, definitely stop here!

My friend and I sat outside and it was a nice street to people watch off of. We also each had a savory dish and I stand by the fact that the pancakes were the star. The coffee was very good, and they had so many yummy looking pastries that I wanted to try. If you're in the neighborhood, I'd highly recommend stopping by for a coffee and pastry to go from their window.

After shopping for a couple of hours, there was a line outside and we decided to get in it. We waited for about 45 mins but we were a party of 8 so that was not a surprise. The restaurant is huge. The restaurant is beautiful. The service was really good all things considered. The food, overall I think would be classified as just okay. They had a good selection for drinks but I can say I just chose wrong in ordering a Bloody Mary with tequila instead of vodka. It was not that good. I had what would be considered chicken tacos. They were fine. I think my experience suffered due to being there around brunch time but not having a taste for what I consider a small menu. But the place is gorgeous and if you can order the to go t thing, you'd love it. The eight of us just failed to do so.

They offer several different breakfast options, and it took me a while to make a decision. I finally opted for the Huevos Mexicanas which included a roll and small juice. The Huevos had various ingredients, like mushrooms, onions, green peppers, do Ed tomatoes, and cheese. It was quite delicious, and it tastes much better than previous Huevos Mexicanas that I had tried before at a different establishment. The ambiance was quaint and upscale at the same time. The breakfast felt good in my stomach, and I would recommend this little cafe to anyone searching for a good hearty breakfast.
