We had reservations and received complimentary bread to start. He ordered some drinks for everyone, which included beer, clamato, and some tequila. Even though the tequila was high quality and smooth, it was too strong for me. Next, he just ordered a bunch of tostas- there was roast beef, shrimp, and eel?...All three tostas very delicious and filling. I was getting a little full before my entree came lol. I looked over the menu and decided to order the shrimp with 3 chiles, which wasn't spicy at all. I also had pieces of the beef, which was very tender and flavorful. My friend offered some of her shrimp relleno dish, which was light and came with an interesting sauce. Everything was yummy and service was excellent! He made us order dessert, so we got the lemon ice cream tart with merengue. It was a nice ending to a heavy meal and everyone was stuffed!

There is an English menu available online but not in the restaurant. Here's where I get confused. The service is excellent, full white tablecloth treatment, old-school European style. No detail is missed. Then we get to the food. It's really pretty good, all told. Here's where the attention to details goes sideways. The bread rolls felt as if they had been sitting since yesterday. The beans, although delicious, had sat around on the plate long enough to be room temperature and develop a crust. The totopos stuck in the beans were in the beans long enough to get soggy. The rice served alongside the moles was barely above room temperature and a bit dried out. All the food, in general, needed to arrive from the kitchen much warmer. Essentially, anything that could be made ahead of time was, and then left sitting out. It doesn't fit and I don't get it.

Came to this restaurant because I had heard about the dishes with HUITLACOCHE which I really wanted…read moreto try. Arrived at 6:15pm and sadly, much like most restaurants in Puebla these days, the beautiful dinning rooms were without patrons. Do not take this as a sign of a problem with the restaurants; it is a sign of the Mexican economy, fear of travel to Mexico and results of the current US President's actions. In any event, there are two dinning rooms, the first one is less formal and only had tables for 5 or more, but has a beautiful carved wood alter and is inviting. We chose to go ahead and sit at large table in the informal dinners area. Wait staff was attentive and while I was attempting to improve my Spanish, I did ask for an English menu and the had them. Also the staff were happy to explain ingredients we had not heard of such as an edible semi-succulent leaf that accompanied 2 of my 3 dishes. The meal started with an amuse-bouche of the day, which was like tiny empanada. We requested margaritas mas fuerte and were happy we did. The next dish we both order was the both beautiful and tasty Tayuda Itsmeña. This dish is substantial enough to constitute a whole meal! My second dish was the salmon tartar which was delicious and equally beautiful. The salmon flavor was a bit overpowered, but I loved the sweet flavors of the mango sauce and passion fruit intertwined with the raw red onions and cabbage strips. For mains I had the chicken breast and my friends dined on the filet fillet mignon both dishes had HUITLACOCHE as an ingredient and both were delicious! The deserts were very interesting. My dinner companion enjoyed a sponge cake made with special leaves that was presented with crystalized parsley and arranged to look like trees in a terrarium. As for price, this is the most expensive restaurant I have been to in my week of dining in Puebla, however my (1person) total bill for 3 courses, a margarita and a still-water was $26.50 which is less than a main course alone in a less nice restaurant in California. If you want a fine dinner or are a foodie this is your place.

Despite the room temperature food, the service was great and the flavors were good. I'm hesitant to return to eat, simply because of the low amount of people there and it took quite some time for the food to arrive to our table. I would go for the décor and setting. Perfect venue for an intimate dinner or date.
