Las Monjitas — Restaurant in Nuevo León

We were drawn by this restaurant's spectacularly detailed and beautiful facade. We passed it many times as our hotel was nearby so we started referring to it as "the facade" saying we had to eat at the facade before the end of our trip. We finally made it the last morning before our flight. Inside "the facade" the interior walls were painted with murals depicting scenes of nuns. The waitresses and kitchen staff were dressed like nuns as well. We thought wait -- did this place used to be a historic convent? Is it a theme? Or are these real nuns who run a restaurant to raise money for the church? Do they live upstairs is the rest of the building a convent? Or is it just an interesting gimmick?

Me cambiaron el plato y ahora venía con más cabellos, de qué se trata? En conclusión, lo que pudo ser una grata experiencia se convirtió en un martirio. Agradezco la atención de la mesera y el gerente y encargado del lugar que siempre estuvieron a disposición del buen servicio. Como consejo, que sus empleados usen cofia y lleven a cabo los cuidados requeridos para la elaboración de alimentos. Espero no haya sido una cuestión personal por ser de otra ciudad o por haber hecho notar lo del primer plato, lo que llevó a su cocinero a repetir e incluso incrementar la dosis...
