A place where I thought the food was good, especially the baked chamorro, it was very soft and at the correct cooking point, the chile en nogada is also of great proportion and very good flavor.'

We visited this wonderful resturant on a last day in Mexico after a 1 month stay in this country. It was by far the best place we had a meal, including several Michalin rated places in Oaxaca. Food was amazing as was our host.

I was looking for a place in CDMX to try Chiles en Nogada out of season, and we are super glad we found this restaurant. The food was a delicious, home-cooked meal, and we had a great time chatting with the owner, Juan Luis. The cakes are also super pretty and we took a couple to go, I really liked the carrot cake.

Nice family owned restaurant. The service was great and the food delicious. We went twice while in Mexico City. Not fancy, but very comfortable and enjoyable.

I was craving Chiles en Nogadas in May and it was off-season, but found this place that always serves it year-round. Amazing delicious dish and the portion is huge for a great price. The cream was yummy and the inside minced meat was scrumptious. The restaurant. owner told me their chiles en nogadas has won for three years in local cuisine competitions and I believe it. Definitely go. You won't regret it. Amazing friendly staff too
