What a gem! Traditional local cuisine including dishes with several types of mole. The server was really good and spoke excellent English - I had no idea what escamoles were (Mexican caviar - look it up!) so I tried those and yum. We also had the beef rib with mole and cauliflower with mole, both excellent. Enjoyed a nice Mexican wine with it as well. All in all, very much recommend!
Do not skip the cheesecake dessert, its probably the best i have ever tried. Everything else is top notch as well.
The food here is truly exceptional. We ordered pork belly, fish, and beef tongue. I especially enjoyed the pork belly—it was incredibly tender and juicy. Surprisingly, there weren't as many guests as one might expect, which is a shame given the quality of the food. I highly recommend that travelers give this place a try.
A top class dining experience for food lovers. The food was sublime- fresh ingredients, presented beautifully and delicious. Every course was 10/10. The staff were welcoming, attentive and really educated on the dishes served. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, a fest for the eyes- the artwork, architecture and interiors. I couldn’t recommend this restaurant more highly. It is on the pricier side but worth it for the experience!
Great relaxing atmosphere with excellent service. Feel like you are in own world of a luxury hotel cafe with friendly staff. We went for brunch and the food was all fresh and well prepared. Would have preferred a bit more spice on breakfast dishes, but salsa was provided and worked great. Same with the sweets needed to request a little agave syrup to take to next level. Overall very pleased with experience for a relaxing brunch.
We loved this restaurant so much we went twice in one day. If I could, I would rate this place 100 stars. Everyone from the waiter to the chef was very thoughtful and kind. Every part of the meal was met with detail and care. It was an honor to get to enjoy higher-tier Mexican fusion foods. Thank you for celebrating my birthday. We will definitely be coming back
This is upscale Mexican dining. I didn’t notice any locals eating here but the food here is solid and so is the service. Food - The portions are big and not just the leg of beef. They’re filling. Each entree had mole and they’re pleasant. The leg of beef, beef tongue and roast beef were so tender. The meat just fell off the bone for the leg of beef. The chicken wasn’t dry and that is a huge win. All entree items were salted well, but not overpowering. The drinks were delightful and they didn’t skimp out on the alcohol. The desserts were well-balanced and not overly sweet. Price point - We dined as 4 people with 1 entry, 1 drink, and about 1 dessert totally about 42 USD or about 750 pesos per person. Entry is about 25 USD or 450 pesos if it’s a beef item. Service - The three waitresses that tended to us were on-point and super sweet. Ambience - Looked like it’s something part of 4/5 star hotel, so it’s pretty bougie. It didn’t have any music on and that’s okay. It was nice to be able to carry out conversations with friends and family. Bonus! - Bathroom - It’s super clean with many stalls for you to relieve yourself. Overall rating - 5/5 I would super recommend and would come back.
Most imaginative menu in a gorgeous old but restored building. Make sure you order the risotto de huitlacoche (a Mexican mushroom) and the pastel de maiz (dessert pictured here). They both were divine!
