Manduca Pan Deli — Restaurant in Mexico City

We ate here on Monday 10/10. I told them my feedback on the food and wait verbally and said I would not leave a review in order not to tarnish their reputation, but unfortunately, my husband spent the rest of the day with food poisoning, so I feel a need to share our experience. We were staying nearby and thought this place seemed nice and had a good looking menu. We went for a weekday breakfast on our way to another activity. We had an hour, which we thought was plenty of time, but it took 45 minutes for my sons' food to arrive and another 10 after that for my husband and I to get our food, even though the restaurant was empty and the chef seemed to be having a cigarette break outside when we arrived. No explanation was given for the delay. The food seemed fine, but the delay was excessive. Then, we used the bathroom before leaving and were horrified to see that there was no running water in the bathroom, and a bottle of hand sanitizer and roll of paper towels were tossed in the sink. The toilet had to be manually flushed by sticking one's hand in the tank to maneuver the mechanism. When husband, who didn't even see the bathroom, spent the rest of the day in gastro distress, we realized this is not a safe place to eat. We will not eat in an empty restaurant again- we should...

The staff was kind, but I would not return for a meal. I’m willing to wait for good food, so the considerable wait did not concern me.

Oddly, I ordered an omelette with spinach and onions and the onions were served raw as a garnish rather than included in the omelette. I left and went to another nearby restaurant without eating my food.

Further, a small insect scurried from my serving tray—another offense that I can sometimes let pass, but there were too many offenses for one meal.

De paso hacia una librería me cruce con esta cafetería que me llamó mucho la atención desde afuera se ve linda pero cuando entras pierde un poco el encanto. Había algunos libros regados por el lugar que parecían ser de alguna barra de contadores, los dueños parecían muy tensos y eso no ayuda, mucho a mi pesar, dado que los trabajadores atienden con excelencia. En general preferiría que los dueños no estuvieran presentes. La comida muy bien recomiendo mucho los chilaquiles rojos, la repostería no es su fuerte aunque diga pan deli, no creo que es lo mejor del lugar. Tienen muy pocas opciones de pan dulce. El refrigerador lo mantienen lleno de refrescos pero no de comida y apagado eso le da una imagen de abandono al lugar. Me voy con un sabor agridulce. Lo peor fue el ambiente que generan los dueños, le hicieron retroalimentación a una trabajadora enfrente de los comensales. Eso no forma parte de las buenas prácticas de administración de un...
