The menu offered a diverse range of dishes, and upon asking for recommendations, the staff and chef exceeded my expectations with their choices—the food was absolutely superb.

A particular highlight of my experience was a delightful conversation with the owner, who graciously explained the various dishes served and even provided insightful recommendations on must-see tourist attractions in the Puebla area. This personal touch added to the overall experience, making it even more memorable.

Today's Sunday morning started at this restaurant, which is very crowded at the weekend and some people have to wait to take their breakfast there. Luckily I didn't have to. The place is cozy and the waiters are extremely attentive to you and try to please you in any way. The food was served fast nevertheless that fact that all the tables were occupied. My hot cakes were not the best ones I have ever eaten. The prices are very affordable. Next time I would like to try their choice of cacao drinks and traditional Mexican breakfast!

Worth a visit. Original decor. One can sit by the terrace or inside. Typical Mexican foods but offer juices, pancakes, fruits etc. Speciality their chocolate brews. The staff is efficient and friendly. Price reasonable. There is safe parking next door. In the Cholula area, so a short drive from some sightseeing areas. Best for breakfast and lunches....
