I've had the huevos divorciados, which are eggs in green and red sauce, with grilled steak on top. The food was fire! Other plates I've ordered are the grilled steak with scrambled eggs and chilaquiles, a grilled steak plate with guac, rice, and beans, and grilled steak with green chilaquiles. My go to drinks are lemonade with mineral water and the cafe Americano. The food here is amazing, and it comes in generous portions. The staff here is decent, I've never had an issue here. The ambient is relaxed. I recommend this place in Zona Rio.

We were seated right away. We had coffee (americano). They bring you these mini pan de nata de Canela (little bread of cinnamon) very tasty. They provide two chili condiments. I ordered the quesadilla especial de la Casa (Special quesadilla with chicharron and cheese inside (fried) comes with 2 and is garnished with lettuce, tomato, crema & green salsa it has a side of black beans. You can choose flour or corn. I chose corn. It was very tasty with every bite. It had good flavor. The black beans were pretty tasty too. My Husband ordered the menudo and it came with everything tripe, pata (cow foot) and hominy). Serving was a good size. He was so hungry he didn't wait for me to take a pic he ate it all up. It was cooked perfectly and had good flavor. It came with the vegetable garnishments and he got flour tortillas. Our waitress was nice and if we needed anything she came when called. She was pretty busy from moment we got there. The place was packed and people were waiting for seats to open. They take card here too. We we will Definitely come back again but for dinner next time.

They have live music and a big fountain in the middle of the restaurant. They brought out a small complimentary consomé de pollo con arroz as an appetizer, which was a really nice touch and set the tone right away. We ordered the enchiladas suizas, which were really, really good. Definitely a highlight. We also had the milanesa de res, which came with fries and beans (pretty typical). While the portion was solid, the milanesa itself could have been seasoned much better, it was a bit bland compared to the rest of the meal. The beans paired with it also lacked flavor. We also tried the enchiladas de mole. Mole is always subjective since everyone has their own preference. This one leans sweeter and more chocolate-forward. If you enjoy a rich, slightly sweet mole, this will be right up your alley. If you prefer a spicier (like me), less chocolatey mole, you may want to skip it. One thing to note, the parking lot is tricky. Cars are parked behind each other, so I'd only recommend coming if you have some extra time. If you're in a rush or don't want to deal with that kind of parking situation, it may be frustrating. We spent 20 min trying to figure out whose car was behind ours. Overall this place is okay, it'd be willing to comeback and try different menu items.

My server, was rude and would interrupt when one was speaking. If asked to describe the dish, he would sigh and clearly looked annoyed. No hospitality. Also, I was misled about the dessert in the combination. I was told it was gonna be flan, and I was brought out a disgusting arroz con leche. The rice was gummy, it was gross. When I brought it up, he said let me go check. HE NEVER CAME BACK. Another rude lady came out and laughed when I brought that up. I was literally thrown the receipt and I was waiting to pay, one of the hostess had to come because they just wouldn't approach. The food was mid. Even the red rice was hard. The tortilla soup was okay, not the best. The beans tasted canned. This spot has potential but this is definitely holding it back. I'll give it two stars because the bread was good.

Delicious! The owner/cook is a fine fellow. Most of my fellow customers on a Sunday morning were uniformed police, I think from a police station nearby, but four local civilians were there also. Hector's excellent reputation is well deserved. I had gotten to town late the night before and had no pesos but the owner was happy to accept my Amex card.
