We went there for a late night dinner (like, 9pm) for mole, apps, and marags. The menu is robust - featuring everything from chile en nogada and fideo seco to cochinita pibil and cecina (a salted and cured style of meat by way of Spanish tradition). We had great service and food, and I would definitely return for daytime dining to enjoy the patio views.

My friends and I went to La Cueva for some cocktails and dinner. This is a cocktail bar with no restaurant-style seating. So we filled up on small plates of ceviche, tostadas de atun, and guacamole (with chapulines on the side for the skurd Americanos). I'm not a huge fan of chapulines (grasshoppers) but La Cueva makes the best I've tasted to date! They must be seasoned in soy sauce or Maggi's.... delicioso! We had three craft cocktails (really, four, because one specific drink was BOGO), three apps; and our bill was $50. Well worth the food/drink/service/atmosphere and experience.

It's a fried maize tortilla filled with zucchini flowers and onions and amazing flavor! This is a typical dish that captures the beauty and natural flavor of the area. I also ordered a pesto pasta dish that was cooked to a perfect al dente and the pesto again was incredibly flavorful and not heavy. A generous portion of shredded cheese topped this fantastic dish. And don't forget the hibiscus drink, Jamaica! If traveling to Tepoztlan, this restaurant is a must!!!

The restaurant is spacious and decorated in colorful, traditional Mexican style. I have been visiting La Luna Mextli for over 20 years. On our last visit, our group of about 20 had a great experience. We were seated promptly, received great service, our food was delivered quickly and was of very good quality - at a reasonable price. We shared a Parillada, which combines a few different types of meats including chorizo. The meat was flavorful, and delicious, comparable to higher-end restaurants in the US. Everything from the soup to coffee is good. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. I would not recommend the quesadillas, there are better places for that. On this Saturday (you should go on a weekend to get the full Tepoztlan market experience) they had live music, which was fine. Overall, it was a great choice for a meal. I would recommend it.
