Conchas to go
cynthia g.

Best concha's in Mexico City!! And that I've probably ever had always a must go to when in Mexico City - delish

Vine a este lugar a cenar con una amiga. La ensalada Amsterdam fue deliciosa y tenía queso de cabra, cacahuetes garapiñados y una vinagreta. De postre pedí un pastelito cubierto de mazapán de almendra que fue excelente. El servicio estuvo más o menos. Por ejemplo, a la hora de darnos el menú solo nos dieron el menú de comida pero no nos dieron el menú de las bebidas y tuvimos que preguntar por él. Asimismo, al final de la comida no nos ofrecieron los postres y nosotros tuvimos que decirle al mesero. Durante la comida nunca nadie se acercó a ver si necesitábamos alguna cosa. Fue algo difícil conseguir estacionamiento.

We did not stay and eat. This review is just about their *pan dulce*. They have AMAZING bread, it is always so fluffy and sweet. I have been eating the conchas here for so long, and they have always been one of the best. They also have a big breakfast/lunch menu but this is not ny favorite place to sit down and eat.

I have to share the same 3 star review with the Other reviews of past. Door greeters were good hustlers at selling the menu and pulled us in. Best part of the meal, Waiters and Runners were VERY Polite & Professional. It was busy and little to no service. Espresso Coffee drinks (like said in other reviews) is Very Watered Down. We asked to remake on Two occasions. Food was very Normal. But the Costs was as equal to a Good Dinner in the same colonia. Can't say I'd return to share a meal with friends, maybe a Tea & Pastry for a quick work meeting or to quickly meet a stranger. Overall staff was polite and courteous and food not the fault of waiters. And the costs I was surprised to be as much, you are paying for the Pretty Space not fine food or good coffee .

Really cute place. Nice seating outdoors and tasty food. Kind of expensive and possibly touristy but a good meal for many people! The food wa flavorful and fresh and got the job done.

Choose the huevos rancheros or divorciados... avoid the salmon omelet. It's edible, but only because it's flavorless.

The best thing about this place is the service and the orange juice. My salmon omelet was utterly uninspired, dry, burnt, unseasoned... and served with nothing but maybe three tablespoons of some eggplant onion stir-fry. The coffee was watery.

Lovely location, courteous service, way overpriced average meals. Not worth the price in my opinion.

Came in for breakfast 7/27/27, table for 4 on 2nd floor…read more Definitely a nice place to have breakfast outside of eating tacos every wherelse. We order pan de dulce for the table and we got 2 conchas, soft and warm just made. A chocolate roll and a fig and nata pastry along with coffee for the table. We order hievos rancheros with the red sauce. Huevos revueltos con chorizo, omelete con flor de calabaza y tamal de elote con crema. We also order a birria de res to share with the table. Service was very quick, efficient and friendly menus can be had in english or Spanish . My daughter order a hot chocolate with preparation table side, she said it was amazing. Fantastic place for brunch but arrive before 9:45am otherwise lines and some slight wait after 10am.

Found on Yelp as we were in the area. Yelp rating is earned. Came in at dinner time, like 5:45 on a…read moreweekday. Sent to 2nd for right away and seated right away as place was maybe 1/2 full. No music beyond the 2 guitar player going around table to table to see if you wanted a serenade. Skipped their offer 1st time around. Pretty quiet, bright and clean. Found that waiter spoke a little English and with our little Spanish got things done. Menus are bilingual Spanish-English. Ordered 4 lamb tacos, chile en nogada, cooked chicken in green sauce and a fish dish (forgot name, little spicy) then a coke, horchata and a pineapple drink. We got chips, cheese, sauce while waiting. Those were all nicely done but average. Dishes out maybe 10 min later. All presented well and hot. We shared each dish. Lamb tacos nicely done, little dry, but they give you some guacamole, a brown sauce, along with the green sauce and cheese with the tortilla chips. Nice, not fatty. Next was the chiles en nogada. First time tried this and really enjoyed, many flavors and nicely flavored beef. In general little on sweet side, so probably couldn't eat more than 1. The chicken in green sauce was a homey, comfort food. Nicely cooked chicken leg and thigh was an ever so slightly spicy sauce. Also came with tortilla wraps and Spanish riceLastly was the spicy baked fish. Done well, fell apart pretty easily, was spicy, but not too much. Had green beans on side done well, not too soft or hard, and Spanish rice. Drinks were all a hit. Coke is coke. Horchata and pineapple juice served in big mugs. Pineapple tastes freshly squeezed and horchata was a super solid example in every way. Oh almost forgot, later in the meal we figured out how to get the 2 guitar fellows to play for us. 2 songs for 300 peso, about 7min total. They did a good job with both the guitar and singing, was enjoyable to listen to them. Would stop back again if in area.
