I had a Caldo Tlalpeño, which was delicious, especially with a little onion and lime. Instead of guacamole and chips, I had bread with avocado and cheese, perfect for dipping. For my main plate, I had the Mole Poblano con Pato, which is the city's famous mole sauce on a tender, properly cooked duck leg. Wow! Oh, and a Vampiro is now my favorite cocktail.

Great local food! This is right outside the Rosewood Hotel alongside 4-5 other restaurants. I came…read morehere for lunch in a group of 12. There's no air conditioning but the breeze comes through. We got the typical traditional Puebla dishes - * chile en nogada (stuffed poblano pepper in nut sauce and pomegranate) * cecina (thin, marinated salted beef) * green enchiladas * caldo (soup) with chili * mole with pork (cerdo) * chalupas combinadas (chalupas with red salsa, green salsa, mole) The bread with avocado and cheese is not complimentary - I think it was like 60 pesos per order, and they brought out 2 orders without asking. Deducting a star for that and the ambiance, or lack thereof. 75 pesos for 2 Palomas (citrus juice with alcohol and salt rim) or 2 sangrias during happy hour. Yes to the Palomas, even though it was made with lemon and not grapefruit juice. The agua fresca of lemon and chia seeds was refreshing too. Now the food is excellent. I don't think I had a favorite. They're all very different. The only thing I wouldn't get again are the chalupas. Fried dough doesn't appeal too much to me. The cecina was too salty for me, but I still enjoyed the flavor. The sweetness of the Chile en Nogada threw off my friends, but I liked it. Reminded me of Persian dishes like fesenjan. The mole was sweeter than I'm used to but was delicious, and the soup and enchiladas were great, too. The service is slow but the grandpa owner is the third generation owner whose grandma established the restaurant - and his grandchildren currently work at the restaurant, so 5 generations have been pouring into this establishment. Hearing the story makes it a part of the experience. So yeah! Recommended for food - perhaps even more so at dinner time when it's not so hot outside :)

If I could give 10 stars, I would! I have been craving asado for a while, specifically costillas…read more So my wife found this place and we walked over from our hotel. As soon as we walked in we were warmly greeted and sat at our table. We reviewed the menu, which was extensive and I had trouble deciding if I was going with the ribs or picañha so the waiter brought out both options on a platter for me to choose from - I ended up going with the ribs which was an excellent choice. We also order the flautas, pinto beans, queso fundido con chorizo and a couple of things. All absolutely delish. The salsas they brought out were also insane. The one with the sautéed onions and sauce? Man I wish I would've asked what it was called because it was damn good. We also ordered a bottle of wine - cab/syrah blend and it was exquisite. Easily a top ten wine. So good that it has inspired a trip to the wine region in Baja California! If I come back to Puebla, this is for sure my first stop. Absolutely incredible.

Okay, I will be blunt. My cousin brought my husband and I here to eat for lunch, and I really…read morestruggled to be nice and say that I liked it, when in fact I tried. The food was edible. The service was mediocre at best. I noticed after we had left that this is an apparent chain. My cousin has a thing for all things Americanized (unfortunately) including the corporatization of merchants, food, and anything that is corporate mentality related. We ordered a pizza because I couldn't find anything here that spoke authentic Mexican or something unique. What we had was a version of Margarita pizza, but we removed and added something between it and another. Unfortunately, the arugula topping on pizza shouldn't be. My cousin had ordered some appetizer that was just horrible. It was like salami or roast beef in soy sauce, and she said it was supposed to be Korean or something, which is not possible, but anyhow, I have to admit she likes to drink beer and maybe for someone who has one too many this is the place to come to. Overall, the menu had this hodgepodge of frivolity at the expense of trying to be hip. I would like to say that at least eating the pizza here was better than eating the lunch my aunt had made for us the day before. Overall, eating in Mexico has been a treat, so long as they didn't follow American corporate ideas.

I came between meals but there was still a few people waiting outside. You grab a number before and wait to be called. Everything inside is very fast paced. I ordered the pozole with chicken that also came with some tostada shells. Really was amazing! It was actually a really cheap dinner too at about 7 US dollars. Definitely a place to visit for a good and cheap meal! Staff was super friendly and went with my poor English pretty well. Also easy to pay with a card. Highly recommended in the Zona Rosa!

Cozy home cooking but with great flavors. Had the Chilaquiles Doña Gloria and were tasty but my wife had the green cholaquiles and they were a bit better. I think the mix of the sour cream in the Chilaquiles Doña Gloria was a bit strong but both were good. The breakfast includes your choice of fresh fruit and choice of coffee, we chose the Cafe de Olla and it was very good, not too sweet or strong just right, and the coffee has free refills. I highly recommend the chilaquiles for breakfast. We will be back for lunch after our trip to the Pyramid to try the mole a must at this place I have heard. We came back for lunch, well because the place is really that good. Many choices to eat around the area especially since the Fiestas are happening. The lunch was amazing. Wife had the mole envuelto, enchiladas, the mole is like no other a must try if you are going to eat here. I had the tacos de Cochinita, very good especially with the habanero and onion. We also picked up a local dish Chiles en Nogada, WOW, this is a special dish with a tremendous flavor, sweet and savory a must have at this place. If you are here in Cholula this is a must location to eat breakfast or lunch. You will not be disappointed.
