Tasty place for dinner. You must try the hot chocolate! They stir it in front of you. Waitress was very nice.

Absolutely awesome food! Came here today completely by chance, after touring a few of the fancy 'highly recommended' restaurants, which either had extremely ling waiting lists or looked super boring, or else wouldn't serve one (yes, in one case they told me tgey would not be able to accommodate one person for dinner). As i was almost ready to give up, there was this place right in front of the Basilica. I took the vegetarian tlayuda, plus an order of guacamole and pico de gallo. Delicious! Definitely try it!

This is a charming little cafe with delicious food options, chocolate and Mezcal. I also took a leap of faith and ordered the grasshopper nachos! I highly recommend these, they are delicious! The staff was great, the cocktails were delicious and I would recommend this place for anyone who wanted to try some Mezcal and Tlayuda!

This is a small Mexican Oaxaqueña restaurant. The price are economic and the meals are delicious. --Caldo Tlalpeño $36: chicken soup is good. --Mole almendrado $96: Delicious mole and it's not spicy. --Ensalada de rancho $81: It's light and good too.
