San Ángel Inn

My friend had been to San Ángel Inn 40 years prior and raved about her memories of the beautiful setting and amazing food. Today's San Ángel delivered on both of those. Unfortunately, we had a significant issue with the service - to be clear NOT with the wait staff but the matr'd and supervisor. Though we had interior courtyard reservations (which you MUST experience), we were told that there was a mistake and that there were no tables available. The courtyard was nearly empty (when we left there were still open tables) and we were offered a table in the corner and in the smoking section (without being told of the latter). We were reseated twice, but once these matters were resolved, we found the food and a service to be wonderful. Bottom Line: I recommend highly, but check your seating and self-advocate.

A classic proper dining experience. The food is not cutting-edge or challenging, it is traditional, tasty and dare I use the word "classy". It is the place you bring your family to celebrate a milestone or an out-of-town business associate. Gorgeous and regal, a callback to a gadget-free fine dining experience.

A recent lunch at San Angel Inn proved to be a remarkable experience. Situated in the historic San Ángel neighborhood, this restaurant is housed in the former Carmelite monastery known as Hacienda Goicoechea, a site with a rich history dating back to 1692. The restaurant elegantly preserves its Mexican colonial architecture and expansive gardens, creating a truly inviting atmosphere. The menu boasts a rich array of options, featuring everything from regional specialties and international fare to authentic Mexican dishes, all of which are worth trying. The food lived up to its reputation, while the setting, steeped in history and having once hosted viceroys and aristocracy, adds a unique charm to the dining experience. The spacious gardens and fountains enhance the ambiance with their touch of elegance and tranquility. Overall, San Angel Inn offers a distinctive dining experience that skillfully blends historical charm with exquisite cuisine. The combination of its rich heritage and elegant setting makes for a thoroughly enjoyable visit.

Nice restaurant but they have a step that is not visible in dim light and my Mom fell. I told them they need to mark it better and they claim no one has had a problem there. However the waiter says he escorts people to the bathroom because it has cases people to trip there. They didn’t respond well. Basically swept it under the rug. Even though they have a lot of staff the service was lacking. They also ruined my birthday surprise.

Dining at San Ángel Inn in Mexico City was a delightful experience. Located in the historic San Ángel neighborhood, the restaurant's lush gardens creates a charming ambiance. The warm welcome and cozy table overlooking the courtyard set the stage for a memorable evening. We listened to pleasant piano played by a pianist. The food was ok and pricey.

Beautiful space. Absolutely gorgeous. Food was good, as was the service, but at that price, I expected better.

Simply a fantastic place, nothing else to add. Recommend to ask for a seat at the terrace where you can enjoy the garden view. This place is a Mexico city classic and definitely a must if you are around the San Angel area. It is a relatively pricey place but worth the price tag.

Beautiful place. This property is impressive, filled historic elements, lush gardens and impeccable patios. Food is good, mostly local staples, but not great. Service on point.

Came here at the suggestion of a family friend and it certainly didn't disappoint. Came mid afternoon and the atmosphere was that of a Spanish Colonial home with mariachi playing in the gardens. If you go you must must must get the Pablano soup. It was probably the best soup I have ever had. Other food was excellent but it was standout.

Top high class Sunday brunch location for tourist and local oligarchs with family alike. Very pleasant and part of an ancient hacienda with interior patios and, even it's own chappel. Not the primus inter pares gastronomical orgasm, just a very pleasant place to be when weather permits to sit outside. Drive up in your fancy British or German automobile and get affordable valet parking...Will definitely come back!!

The atmosphere and history are astounding. You feel like you have stepped back in time. The decor adds to the atmosphere. Appetizers, food and desert all over delivered. I recommend a tequila flight to start off your meal.

Perfect latte to start the day alongside some fresh pan dulce. The eggs benedict were okay but nothing to really rave about. Unfortunately the bacon was just not good. It was very salty and even though I prefer crispy bacon it just tasted like grease with every bite. I paid extra for that! The courtyard is beautiful though and a great spot to enjoy a sunny day. It has a nice atmosphere for brunch with a pretty central fountain that makes you want to take a lot of pictures. Just the view and the coffee/pan dulce are what makes me give San Angel 4 stars overall. We came on a Saturday closer to noon and although it was busy we did not have to wait too long, no longer than 15 minutes. I would also say that people were dressed a little bit on the nicer side, as I suppose people would be for a weekend brunch. The dishes we ordered were on average less than $10 USD per plate, but on the pricier side in terms of $MX pesos.

Stumbled across this establishment thanks to a friend visiting Mexico City. She told me that the restaurant was highly raved about online. So we went to check it out together. The restaurant is super cute and looks like it's built inside of an older home. The service is great but the food, is just okay. It's definitely nice to impress a date, however, I was wowed about the food. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best. Especially for the price tag. Maybe if I was to return it would be during chiles en nogado season. As I hear it's their best menu item.

An absolutely gorgeous place for brunch. The inside is a garden atmosphere that is both quiet and inviting. Outside there are museums not far away. Since I was only here for brunch I am giving it four stars on only one issue. I was there with a group. We had a choice menu in English. Since I needed a break from the schedule over the past several days I wanted something familiar and boring. I chose the scrambled eggs with bacon. Yes, I know, this is Mexico. Ciudad de México at that, but I needed this, and it was on the menu. What came out was an egg white omelette over asparagus with a red sauce. Estoy aprendiendo español - but this one was over my head and pointing didn't work without extra help from someone far more fluent. I am in no way saying anyone here should speak English but if you are planning an event here perhaps this is something that needs a little more attention to ensure nothing goes sideways for the guests. Otherwise, come here for brunch. Come here to get married. Either way, enjoy a moment of peace outside the city within the city.

Beautiful place, great service, live piano, sat by the fountain outside and everything was spectacular.

Gorgeous location. Best to go for lunch on a sunny day to enjoy the gardens. Most of the food was good, would recommend tostadas de pata and the creamy dessert.

They asked if we wanted mimosas and we said yes. Didn't think anything of it. Mimosas cost more than our meal. Food was okay. Nice setting

Excelente servicio y deliciosa comida !!!! El lugar muy acogedor con bellos jardines , las bebidas exquisitas y muy bien hechas en fin lo recomiendo 100% Gracias por una maravillosa cena inolvidable !!!

Quintessential gorgeous grounds, wonderful table settings, excellent food. Great people watching, mariachis, weddings. a must see! So glad we made the trek

Beautiful location. We sat in a flower filled courtyard with a fountain in the middle. Tables have matching blue linens and tableware. Unfortunately the food we tried was not very tasty. We had the beef knuckle tostados, homemade chips and dip , chicharon in green sauce, as well as skirt steak tacos. Only the tacos and chips were tasty. We had 1 mimosa and 2 bottles of water. All this for the grand total of $107 American dollars. While it is a lovely place, comfortable seating, and a great place to watch the beautiful people of CDMX, I would not recommend it. I wanted to love it but can we say overpriced!!!

Call me stingy , but I rarely give out 5 stars. This place deserves it from food, service & ambience. We ate in the courtyard on a 60's day, with the red poinsettias and blue tablecloths. Though I don't drink, my friends do. And they raved about the margaritas. For vegetarians, consider the mushroom and corn appetizers. The combo will fill you.

Breakfast at San Angel Inn was fantastic - the outdoor dining area is so serene and peaceful and the food was absolutely incredible. The service is gracious and attentive and the food is incredibly tasty. I started with a pan dulce, coffee, and fruit and tried their enchiladas in green sauce - highly recommend for brunch, lunch or dinner! Just the right amount of spice and bursting with flavor, I was so happy with my choice. It's a little difficult to find space for walk ins, so I'd recommend calling ahead for reservations to ensure you get a table.

Best margaritas in the world Food is fine. Come for the marg in the amazing shaker. The courtyard is also lovely and the service is old school classical

Calidad superior . Comida mexicana tradicional ; platillos sencillos y muy típicos realizado con excelencia de alta cocina. El servicio de primera. El ambiente muy formal, a elegante , de alto nivel . Al ser un lugar muy muy alto nivel, los precios están en esa medida .

This place is stunningly beautiful, the food is absolutely divine and the service is impeccable! I visited with my BFF and we both ordered the sopa poblano and shared soft steak plate with potatoes and vegetables. We LOVED the sopa and the steak plate (while shared) was filling, delicious and totally hit the spot! I accidentally dropped my folk at one point and our waiter noticed from across the courtyard and replaced my folk without any delay. We were so amazed at this and how attentive the service is in general. It made for an incredible dinner and evening! Please consider visiting this establishment while in Mexico City. It will not disappoint!!

Beautiful, authentic, high-end Mexican Dining. The decor is wonderfully interesting and eclectic.

I am not sure why this place is not at-least 4.5 stars, but to me, it absolutely gets 5 stars! Reason for this, is because I will not put this restaurant in the same category as a Michelin star restaurant, but that does not mean it shouldn't get a 5 star in its own category as a top quality Mexican restaurant! Ambiance: I would have to say this has one of the coolest settings out there! First of all, the building was a monastery and turned into a restaurant and it is just absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend sitting outside if you can as in my opinion the best place. There is a fountain, a beautiful garden and a pianist that plays beautiful songs. They also have a huge garden in the back that you can walk around and explore. Different experience than you will see at any other restaurant here. Staff: The staff is top quality and eager to serve you. They do a wonderful job of asking you if you need anything but also giving you your space. Every single person that helped us was an absolute pleasure! They also had a terrific sommelier there that definitely knew his stuff and recommended red wine that we would have traditionally not tried and stayed within our comfort zone. Food/Drinks: Really good! First of all, we started immediately with delicious margaritas and then went to an amazing Mexican red wine. We ordered the lobster bisque for appetizer along with the carne asada dish and sea bass dish. The lobster bisque was super good and had wonderful taste. The Sea Bass was extremely juicy and flavorful (would definitely order this again). The Carne Asada was very good and cooked to perfection, but could have used a slight bit more seasoning, however, because it was cooked so well, the natural flavors of the meat came out wonderfully. If you are in Mexico City and looking for a romantic place to eat at, I would highly recommend this place! You wont be disappointed and you wont leave feeling gouged by expensive prices.

Wow! This place is very very very beautiful and the food... 10 out of 10! I tried the very basic tacos (carne asada) and they were amazing would recommend!

Fabulous service by well dressed staff with nice crisp aprons Great linens on the tables and also of good quality Tasty pastries were offered as we sat down and then we were offered fresh juice ( I had orange and mango) and coffee Pleasant staff who were very attentive Nice solid cutlery (staff remove the unused items as the meal progressed-a sign of good service) Some traffic noise, but we are in the center of a large city so "what to do?" Waffles nice and crispy. Came with fruit and chocolate Little internal squeal of delight when the waiter used a crumber to wipe the crumbs from the table (I always used to lose mice) Provided a little stand for hats and bags which was nice I have the huevos de tres chiles. Very tasty. I think my only gripe would be that the plate was not quite hot enough which meant the egg dish cooled a little too quickly Most definitely would recommend and will return

Lo mejor. Incredible. Had a lovely lunch with girlfriends and my mother. Excellent service. Wonderful margaritas. Beautiful atmosphere. Nice bakery/gift shop. A must visit when in CDMX. Little challenging to obtain a cab afterwards as their system was down, but cell phones were working . . . For foreigners it would have been helpful to be able to call taxis as it was a busy weekend with Formula 1 and Día de Los Muertos parade.

I have an apartment in Mexico City and have been coming here on business for years. In the past, San Angel Inn relied on its beautiful setting and the food was just OK. Recently they seem to have changed chefs and the food is now excellent to match the surroundings. Hacienda de Los Morales should take a hint here. This is a city of wonderful restaurants but San Angel Inn is hard to beat for the overall experience.

Came for breakfast. It's beautiful here. So peaceful compared to the city. Great landscaping. The pastries were really fresh and I enjoyed the eggs benedict.

Great experience, beautiful place. Our appetizer, Oysters "San Angel Inn" were delicious (kind of like oysters Rockefeller). And the Cesar salad, made table side was phenomenal and fun to watch them make. (It says for 2, but you can get for as many people you like, we had for three.) I chose an entree that, while good, didn't really "wow" me, the sea bass Veracruz. That's on me. My partner's steak looked really good. I should've chosen something different. Then, onto dessert, again phenomenal. I ordered the "Floating Island" with fresh berries. I had no idea what it was, I just wanted a surprise. Oh my god. So good. Light, fluffy and sweet. I was on my own island of delight. Our friend ordered the Bavarian cream and was equally amazed, though the presentation on mine was better. Other notes, they dealt with our limited Spanish very well, they didn't speak much English, but did have an English menu and we figured things out. Also- it's upscale and my partner wore shorts.... I was a little worried because that's frowned on in Mexico City for men in the evening. But they were kind and didn't mention it. We'll know better next time and be prepared. We loved it AND it's across from Diego Rivera's home.

San Angel Inn is the type of place you might only come across with the help of a recommendation from a CDMX local. Luckily for us, that's exactly what we had! The drive from our hotel to here was a bit longer than other food spots we visited but it was well worth it. San Angel has an amazing outdoor seating area that you'll see immediately upon walking in. The courtyard flows into the inside and opens up again to an outdoor garden in the back. This is a perfect spot to walk off the food and admire the landscaping. You might even forget you're still at a restaurant by this point as it starts to feel like a different venue altogether. Our table was about 7 people deep which means we absolutely had a decent variety of items to try. With that said, I'm very disappointed that I only have about 2 pics from this beautiful garden/courtyard style restaurant. The menu here is very expansive and just a bit overwhelming but we went with some sure-fire hitters like tacos and margaritas ;) This was kind of our 2nd lunch of the day so we had to take it slow. What really made this place special for me (other than the environment) was the staff and their eagerness to serve. They helped us go through the menu and made suggestions for everyone at the table. The hospitality here was A1. This is the type of garden restaurant you see on a TV show or in a movie and wonder if it actually exists and sure enough, it does in Mexico City!

The place is awesome, that's for sure!!! Food, I'd give it a second thought... I'm a local, I live within 500 meters from the place. Food ain't that good, I've had better Margaritas INDEED, but I guess it's a MOST while visiting my neighborhood...

Oh mah.... I don't know if I'm able to put this review into words. My experience at the San Angel Inn was out of this world. Also, before I start my review! There is no dress code but everyone here is dressed very nice!!!!! Me and my friends did not know this and showed up with joggers and shorts.. Oops. We still got incredible service but just wanted to get the word out in case you wanted to look presentable to this gorgeous place. This restaurant is in a hacienda that has a beautiful garden. The restaurant inside is equally pretty. Me and my friends didn't dress the part but we ordered like royalty. Let me detail to you what we ordered that I loved, even though the 3 of us ordered like.. 10 dishes these are the ones that stood out for me: Rib-Eye Tacos - Prolly some of the best tacos I've ever had in my life. First off.. the meat quality was unmatched. I've never had such good meat before in my tacos. The tortilla was so good, and not doubled up so it wasn't too much carbs. I wondered to myself.. how could tacos cost so much? I found out when they brought me a giant dish of 8 rib-eye tacos. Diablo Coffee (serves 2) - After our endless meal we decided we needed some coffee. Seeing that this served two and was prepared table side.. why not?! And man what a show this was. The server was cooking up a storm making this for us, peeling/poking a flaming orange. This was very sweet and strong (alcohol strong) but definitely worth the show and the drink itself was unique as can be. Bavarian Cake - This is probably one of the best cakes I have ever had. The server wheeled out the entire dessert cart to our table. Keep in mind at this point me and my friends had just finished like 10 dishes of appetizers/entrees. He was like you guys need to try the Bavarian Cake and we are so happy we did.. this cake was just INCREDIBLE. It was so good we went to the bakery next door and bought two more slices and took it to-go. The cake has this white sauce poured all over it and is accompanied with strawberries and raspberries. All in all we paid $200 for 3 people with a generous tip. This meal in America would've cost 2-3 times as much. We loved our experience here and I would recommend it to anybody visiting Mexico City!!

Love love love, came to MX coyocan for work and this is by far the best food I have ever had. Will definitely be back!!

What a gorgeous place! The atmosphere alone is worth going. Service was 5 star and impeccable. They make sure you're well taken care of the entire time. The menu has a great variety of foods and drinks and the entire meal was great. ESP the margarita that comes with extra on the side to refill your glass. It was a lively place with music and many tables inside and out. It's also next to Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo's art space and home that they shared!!

You don't come to San Angel Inn for the food, which, as I understand by the reviews from others, and from what I could read on the menu, is your typical continental European or Americana food, which is not something you should get in Mexico. It is, however, drop dead gorgeous. This used to be an Inn before it was turned into a restaurant. It felt very colonial European, and you really feel like you got dropped into a period movie, and it could be the colonial Africa, colonial India, colonial Macau (East Asia), colonial America, or colonial Mexico. I don't know if there is a way to tell these places apart, suffice to say it invoked yesteryear. San Angel is where the old money is. My tour guide thought it would be good to take me here because Diego Rivera used to live right across from San Angel Inn, and this old colonial style neighborhood is a little sleepy and not touristy, but it's very regal in the old Mexico City way. I spoke to some of my friends who's been to Mexico, and they had not been, so I figure this is a neighborhood worth checking out because it's not as discovered as the rest of the hoods. I'd be right. Air France and Lufthansa flight crew come here often. And they love coming to San Angel Inn for a drink. The court yard has been set to serve food and drinks. And I found a nice comfortable chair to sink in for my last Margarita. Did not want my driver to wait, so I invited him along for a drink. He had given me a lot of inside track on things, so a drink would have been the least I could do (besides paying the fees for his time spent.) We sat at the court yard and watched people coming and going, many are French, a few English. No Americans. I had a photo taken by my driver sitting on that big oversized lounge chair, margi on hand. It was one of my favorite photos on this trip. I was most satisfied at that moment.

If there was a 0 star, I would use that instead. The restaurant was recommended by a friend so we decided to go. Grossly disappointed with the service and lack of hospitality of the server we got. The restaurant is supposed to cater to high end clientele, but lacked class in making patrons feel welcomed. Would not want to spend my money there.

This is a very fancy spot. The food is Americanized and not great, especially for the high price point. But the courtyard is beautiful, and there are nice details like the piano player and the very professional service. THE WAIT: None around 6pm on a Saturday. They were fairly busy but we still got a table in the courtyard. COST: $120.26 in USD total for 4 drinks, 2 starters, and 4 entrees. See my pics for additional details! * Bread basket - 4 stars The sesame twists were the best. * Sangria - 3.5 stars This was bubbly but was like a fruit-flavored soda - there was no fruit! * Margarita - 3 stars You get two glasses' worth! One glass plus the mixer with the 2nd glass. But this was way, way too strong for me. CREAMS AND SOUPS * Lobster Bisque - 3 stars Good, not too memorable. * Aztec Tortilla Soup "San Angel Inn" ($142 pesos) - 3.5 stars They poured the soup over tortillas at the table - it had a nice crunch. POULTRY * Parmesan Chicken Breast ($205 pesos) - 3 stars A little plain, veggies just boiled. * Roast Duckling with Blackberry Sauce ($350 pesos) - 4 stars Nice sauce, moist meat. MEAT * Veal Cutlet "San Angel Inn" ($226 pesos) - 3 stars Meat was a little dry, not super impressive.

We came for breakfast and it was amazing. The service was great too. We were seated out in the patio and it was beautiful. We ordered red chicken Chilaquiles and huevos esquites. We came during the week so a reservation wasn't necessary but I imagine it's busy on a weekend.

Far and away the worst meal I had in Mexico City. We had Shrimp Tacos. The shrimp were very rubbery and overcooked - possibly frozen. The fish ceviche was riddled with (not fresh) olives. I've never - NEVER - seen olives in ceviche. We ordered a corn torte with Serrano sauce. The waiter used a fork to literally move the peppers off of my wife's torte because they were "too spicy." Like.... What? The ambiance was... fine? There were several screaming children running loose among the tables while we were there. Not the restaurant's fault. The house band played "Baby Shark" as a response. Bad solution to a bad problem.

Incredible food in a very nice part of Mexico City. We had to wait a while for a table and drinks were a bit pricey but everything else was on point. I had the tortilla soup and my wife had Poblano Rellenos. The portion size was excellent. We had Belgian cream with fresh fruit for dessert. Would definitely come back here.

A culinary catastrophe! This place could easily be the best restaurant in the michelin guide because of how amazing the space is. Instead it has the worst food I have eaten while in CdMx. Go there to see it but dont expect anything from the food. Its really bad.

After seven days of eating through Mexico, this was our final and favorite restaurant. Our friends drove out from Santa Fe to make sure that we did not miss this fine dining experience. Expensive by Mexico's standards, it is quite reasonable for a five star restaurant. The service was exceptional and proactive. The food was incredibly well prepared. I will never be able to eat Mole and Tortilla Soup in the states again without thinking back to this authentic experience. Highly recommended! Make sure to eat in the garden and have the Mariachi band play at least one song for you for the full experience.

The perfect oasis from the hustle & bustle of the city. The garden setting is incredible. Service is first class. Food is classically amazing! Highly recommended!!!

I have to give this place a five star rating, not just for the food but because is a classic in Mexico City. A must go restaurant if you have a few days to spend in the city or if you are a local and want to enjoy that old style but high end food and service. Beautiful location in what it used to be and old Hacienda, with an amazing central patio. The menu includes all the Mexican cuisine classics prepared in accordance with the old school. Everything you order will be a guarantee.

I really loved this place! It's kind of far from the ritzy Polanco area but it was close to the office. Went there on a recommendation from local colleagues. Wow, not only was this place really good, fantastic service, but the locale was something to look at. I only had margaritas to drink, these were fantastic, chilled in their own ice bucket in a mini decanter so they would not get watery. Really good margaritas! This is going to sound weird, but I had the escamoles (ant eggs) OMG, so good. You eat them in a taco with guacamole and some salsa, but the flavor of the escamoles themselves is really good!!! For the main, i had a robalo (white fish) with 3 chile sauce... it was fantastic. The fish was clocked perfectly, the sauce was kind of smoky and not spicy and reminded me of mole. I mentioned this to the waiter, and he said while the sauce used the same 3 peppers it was quite different, then he brought out a little mole for me to taste. Wow. Need to try something with the mole next time. I finished the meal with a really delicious vanilla custard/meringue with fresh berries. It was great, but the fresh berries were fantastic and super sweet (I could have had more). Super recommended. Will be back here!

We wanted to have a nice breakfast on Saturday prior to hitting the Mercado de San Angel. Everything we ordered was great, but for the Americans reading, the portions are not huge, so go ahead and say yes to a pastry upfront. The grounds and gardens are beautiful, if the weather is nice, definitely try for an outside table. They also had child care available which even though I didn't bring mine along, I always appreciate. I'm dinging a star because of two things: 1. Menu is a bit limited and 2. It took like 10 min to get a menu. After that the service was spot on.

After seeing Frida and Diego's studio stop by The San Angel Inn. This is our first 5 Diamond Star restaurant. I love that our children were able to see that México can also be very elite. Dress nice. There is old and new money here and it's great to see the way Mexico's elite hangout. Walk through the neighborhood to see beautiful houses. Amazing.

Highly recommend this lovely spot in San Angel. We could have spent all afternoon in their courtyard, with its lively yet relaxing atmosphere and amazing service. The tacos were some of the best we had while in CDMX.

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful inside and out. The service was exactly as you would expect for a high end establishment. We started with a classic margarita that was the best I've ever had. I had the chicken tortilla soup, delicious. Then they brought out my shrimp tacos and they were horrible. The shrimp were unrecognizable as they were finely chopped and served in a corn tortilla with a bland chili sauce with guacamole and salsa on the side. For 390 pesos one would expect tacos with whole shrimp and tasting fabulous. On the plus side, I then ordered the carrot cake for dessert and it was delicious. Can't wait to try it again.

Beautiful monastery turned into restaurant. You should definitely go visit, and have a drink in the gorgeous courtyard. Meals are truly sub-par. It is astonishing that when I went recently for a lunch on a weekday, the place was packed with locals, with almost no tourist in sight.

When everything is considered, the best restaurant in Mexico. Charming service beautiful sitting areas indoors and out, typical cuisine - - what more can you ask for?

This place is absolutely amazing and a wonderful stop while in CDMX. I would definitely recommend stopping by here after checking out the Twin Houses/Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo houses & museum, since it's right across the street. Absolutely gorgeous outdoor courtyard area. There was a bit of a wait when we went, but they seated us inside to enjoy the self-professed "best margarita in Mexico City" while we waited. It did not disappoint! I especially recommend the tamarind margarita, it was delicious. There are not a ton of vegetarian options, but the staff is very friendly and accommodating and they helped me choose a cheesy mushroom crepe dish that, while technically a starter, was PLENTY of food. Especially since we split a gazpacho ahead of the main meal. They also provide a complimentary little veggie tray and bread basket! Basically, it's impossible to leave here hungry. When the dessert cart came by we were really in heaven. Everything was extremely delicious! Definitely stop by here when visiting CDMX, it will be the best and most relaxing meal of your trip.

Historic hacienda with stunning patio serving excellent food and highly attentive service.
