“ Traditional regional cuisine with the chef's very own touch. A great place to impress! Great atmosphere and service. ”
“ The food is spectacular; everything we tried was delicious. We ordered tortilla soup, vegetable soup with turkey, tongue tacos, tetelas, and more. Main dishes included huaxmole, pipianes with chamorro, and the delicious mancha manteles. It's advisable to make a reservation because it's crowded and the wait time is long. I recommend the restaurant fumigate a bit, as there are a lot of flies. I understand it's a small restaurant, but I think the speed and service could be better; that would make it a unique place. ”
“ I really liked the experience, the atmosphere of the place is very beautiful. You can see the attention to detail in everything, especially in their food and drinks. We ordered the Placeros tacos, the complimentary tamale was very delicious, the menu is varied. In many things they stick to traditional processes. I recommend: taco placero, huaxmole, trilogy of quesadillas, agua del dia and blue corn hot cakes but surely I would also recommend the rest that we couldn't try. ”
