They serve outrageously delicious coffee and chocolate drinks. It was very near our hotel, so we went there a few times during our stay in Mexico City. While it's not primarily a restaurant, they had a small menu of items that either complimented or contained chocolate. I had a molé that really featured chocolate that I highly recommend.
