Harina y Sal — Restaurant in Puebla

We had been looking at this place for a while, and decided to come in. Style points but everything seems more Instagram than substance, unfortunately. It has the trappings of a cute, farm-to-table style restaurant, but the food just isn't there.

Lamb burger: The bread looks great, but it was super dry to the point of crumbling. The lamb was nicely cooked, and the overall effect with the tzaziki and blue cheese is nice. The fries are bizarre. They taste like... Turnips? Some none-potato root vegetable. Weird, not great. Candy sweet homemade ketchup is also a miss.

Charcuterie: Cute basket presentation is a little tricky to use. This is what I mean about more Instagram than thoughtful. A tiny bit of olive oil (food service grade, not great) in the bottom of a shallow bowl with a wooden spoon is nearly impossible to use. The bread is pretty, but extremely heavy, a bit dry, and doesn't pair well with the meats or cheese. You want something thin that doesn't compete. These cheese is all very mild, and too cold (charcuterie needs to be room temp, but they get this wrong in most of Mexico). It is also all stuck together. You need to serve cheese portioned apart, or whole with a knife. When you cut it but it's still touching, it just all sticks together and is tough to eat. Pretty mediocre.

Pastrami 'wrap' : more of a quesadilla than a wrap, and it was fine. The meat is better than some places, but the home made stuff at Bull McCabe is much better.

Craft beer: Nice selection, but as usual, not everything is available. This seems to be the standard. Champagne style service and served in wine glasses. Itchy, but I'm okay with it.

Nothing was terrible, but it's just not great. We might come back for another shot at some point...

Una mla experiencia que nos llevamos mi familia y yo, ya que asistimos está semana para la promocion que anuncian los Martes, se tardaron demasiado en llevar lo que ordenamos, nos tardaron un poco en tomarnos la orden. Ordenamos pizzas, micheladas y agua del día. Lo primero que llevaron fueron las bebidas (tardaron en llevarlas), después de unos 40 min aprox nos llevaron 1 pizza ( pedimos 4 pizzas, eramos 7 personas), la pizza estaba casi fría, no nos habían llevado platos, ni servilletas, nos tuvimos que levantar a tomarlas de otra mesa, le pedimos los platos a la mesera y se molesto, tardo en llevarnos las cosas, mientras comíamos, tardaron 15 min más en llevarnos la segunda pizza, se tardaron en llevar la tercera pizza como 20 min más, íbamos a pedir la cuenta pues ya estábamos incómodos estando ahí, pues lo que nos estaban llevando estaba casi frío, nos llevaron casi al mismo tiempo la cuarta pizza, la pedimos para llevar pues ya era mucha la incomodidad y la mala energía de la mesera que nos atendió. Nos sorprendió la verdad por que casi no había gente, la poca que estaba consumiendo en el lugar ya estaba cuando nosotros llegamos. La verdad es lamentable que den este tipo de servicio, pues al menos el pan que elaboran es muy bueno, pero con esas atenciones no nos...

Wow, I loved this place. Wanted to get something from the bakery only, but ended up having the molletes and they were absolutely delishous, especially the extra onion and pico de gallo gave it such good flavor. Otherwise service was outstanding - very friendly and attentive and the place itself is so pleasantly decorated, it’s very comfortable dining here. Their plates are also...
