MACARIA GASTRONOMÍA DE MERCADO — Restaurant in Puebla

If you’re in Puebla and looking for a spot that perfectly mixes authentic flavors, warm service, and a vibrant local vibe, Macaria Gastronomía de Mercado is an absolute must.

Food: The dishes here are simply outstanding. Everything feels fresh, homemade, and packed with authentic flavors that represent the best of Puebla’s cuisine. I tried several plates, and each one felt like a celebration of traditional recipes with a modern touch. The presentation is colorful and inviting (just check the photos!) — it’s the kind of food that makes you excited even before the first bite. My personal favorite was the enchiladas, which were rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Portions are generous too, so you definitely leave satisfied.

Service: The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They took the time to explain the dishes and made us feel right at home. You can tell they really care about giving every guest a great experience. Even when the place gets busy, the service remains warm and efficient.

Atmosphere: The vibe of Macaria is one of its strongest points. It has that market-style authenticity but with a touch of coziness that makes it perfect for both a casual meal and a relaxed get-together. The colorful décor, the music, and the lively energy of the place all contribute to a fantastic dining experience. It feels like you’re eating somewhere truly local and special, not just another generic restaurant.

Overall: Macaria is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Puebla, it’s a perfect spot to enjoy authentic flavors in a great setting with excellent service. Highly recommend stopping by — you won’t be...

I’m disappointed to see that a restaurant in a good location and sort of nice can have such poor service. And was even amazed to find that when I asked to speak to the manager I was told there was not one around. There is definitely no training for a good customer service but unfortunately that’s what you get in a third world country. It’s just a shame because this could have been a good option. The food was definitely nothing to rave about but the service was terrible.

Excellent place to have a meal in cholula! It is very clean, the prices are great, and quality of the food is amazing!

You can seat in the terrace and enjoy the view looking to the pyramid of Cholula.

We ordered the typical “Antojitos mexicanos” and I enjoyed a very well served and tasteful Chicken Pozole.

The service was great, and the diversity of their menu...
