I also loved the call button at the table, which made it easy to get help without trying to flag someone down. The tacos de cabeza were solid. The meat was incredibly soft and flavorful. The pozole con pollo was also good, with a comforting broth that warms your soul. On the flip side, some dishes fell short. The guacamole and flautas de pollo were bland, and the tacos de bistec were okay. It was missing a smoky char and deeper flavor. This place gets packed so be prepared to wait around 30 minutes or longer in line, especially during peak hours. All in all, great experience for the service and a few standout dishes, but a hit or miss depending on what you order.

Quite literally the BEST pan dulce I've ever had. We had their anise sweet bread and my oh my this…read moremay have been the best thing I've ever tasted in my life. It melted in my mouth almost like custard, in such a delicious way, and the flavor was perfect. WOW! The hot chocolate is also delicious, and frothed/served table side. Not too sweet. It was still their breakfast menu so we got mole enchiladas and some sort of enmolados with salsa verde. I preferred the latter, but it didn't have as much chicken on it as I'd like. I'd come back just for the sweet bread.

The tamarindo agua fresca was refreshing. There are several El Cardenal locations in Mexico City. This one is inside the Hilton. Though it wasn't lunch nor dinner time, it was packed.

Frothy and thick consistency. The hot chocolate was perfect! The hot chocolate was great with the concha. The white concha was fresh, warm and honestly the best concha I have ever had. The conchas are very popular and go fast. I ordered the green chilaquiles with chicken. The green sauce was spicy and flavorful. Highly recommend! I shared the red enchiladas. The sauce was light. I prefer the green sauce from the chilaquiles. I also ordered the fresh squeezed orange juice and it was very good. I was able to order some conchas to go. Best idea ever. I will be back!

Good Ambience Food is just ok…read more We visited this restaurant for breakfast, and while the ambiance is undeniably beautiful, the overall dining experience was mixed. The space itself is lovely -- a well-designed hall with elegantly set tables, fresh flowers, and a charming courtyard with greenery that adds to the atmosphere. It feels upscale and calm, and when we visited, it was not crowded, which made it even more peaceful. However, the service and food did not quite match the setting. The staff were not particularly welcoming, and communication was a bit challenging as most did not speak much English. While manageable, it did affect the overall experience. They began with a bread basket (bread and croissants), which unfortunately did not feel fresh or warm -- something you would expect at a place with this level of presentation. We ordered a couple of dishes along with a fruit bowl: * The fruit lacked the freshness and ripeness you typically find in Mexico, even at casual local spots. * The main dishes were average in flavor -- nothing stood out, and they felt somewhat generic rather than reflective of local cuisine.
