The tortillas and salsas were really fresh, and the place has a nice vibe to it. Service was solid too. Just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable.

Stopped by for lunch right on the Z&oacute;calo. Had the turkey in black mole&mdash;solid, rich flavor. House white wine was better than expected. Yeah, it&#39;s touristy and you pay for the location, but the food held up. Service was efficient, no complaints. Good spot if you&#39;re already in the area and want something decent without wandering far.

The corn and cheese empanadas were really good&mdash;fresh, not greasy at all. I liked that they weren&#39;t overloaded with cheese, just enough to taste it. Place felt clean too, which I appreciate. Service was fine, nothing crazy. Maybe a bit quiet for a weekday lunch, but that&#39;s okay. I&#39;d go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The mango smoothie&rsquo;s still my go-to&mdash;cheap and hits the spot every time. WiFi&rsquo;s decent for hanging out too. Just don&rsquo;t forget they&rsquo;re cash only.

Came here with the family last weekend. Food was solid, got the tacos al pastor and they didn&#39;t disappoint. Service was quick too. Only thing is I wish I could&#39;ve tried more stuff, but I was too full. Place gets busy around dinner time, so go early if you can.

The terrace is really nice, and the service was on point. But the food didn&#39;t quite live up to the vibe. I had the chilaquiles, they were okay. The shrimp though, I&#39;d skip that one. Maybe stick to something simpler if you go.

Spacious courtyard, plenty of room to spread out with a laptop. WiFi held up fine during a couple hours of work. Coffee was decent, bagel did the job. Not the quietest spot, but for getting things done it works. Fair price for what you get.

The waiter suggested swapping a side so I could try both dishes I wanted&mdash;nice touch. Huauzontle with mole coloradito was solid, though the entree portions ran small.

Came in on New Year&#39;s Day when almost everything else was closed. Place was packed but service didn&#39;t slow down. Got a cortado and a lunch sandwich, both did the job. Only thing&mdash;seats are those hard wooden stools, not great for lingering too long. Fine for a quick bite though.

Cute little spot when you&#39;re tired of tacos. Bibimbap hit the spot, ramyeon was solid. They&#39;ll add extra spice if you ask, which I appreciate. Kimchi was a nice bonus.

Been coming here for a while now, and the green pozole with pork is still my go-to. That broth is packed with flavor every single time. Birria quesadillas are solid too. Prices are fair for what you get, especially with the portions. Place gets busy but it&#39;s worth it.

The Caprini pizza was solid&mdash;good crust, nice balance of toppings. Pairing it with a glass of red worked out well. Service dragged a bit, but the staff stayed friendly.

The pozole with pork was solid, and the tasajo was tasty too. Waiter David spoke good English and explained the menu well. Place was packed with locals, which tells you something.

Coffee&#39;s solid. Good spot to just sit and talk. Service was friendly but kinda slow when it got busy.

Pasta puttanesca was solid, good flavor. Portion felt small for what you pay though. Pizza&#39;s the move here, better deal and always hits the spot. Quick service too, in and out in like 30 minutes. That&#39;s what I need on a lunch break.

Stopped by for hot chocolate and it was so good&mdash;rich, cozy, exactly what I needed. The place has that chill vibe where you can just sit and chat for a while. Staff were friendly too, didn&rsquo;t rush us at all. Wish I&rsquo;d had room to try more of their chocolate stuff though. Next time! ☕

Tasajo torta was solid. Quick takeout, decent price. Menu&#39;s got a bunch of regional stuff I wanna try next time. Place has this rustic vibe, kinda nice. Staff didn&#39;t waste my time. There&#39;s a little shop by the door with Oaxacan stuff, looked cool but didn&#39;t browse. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area.

The shrimp mole was the star &mdash; beautiful presentation and so much flavor. Garden seating is calm and cozy. Only wish the service had been a bit quicker, but I&#39;d still come back.

Came here with a couple friends on a random Tuesday night. Music was just right, not too loud so we could actually talk. Place has this chill vibe that makes you wanna stay longer than planned. We ended up grabbing extra drinks lol. Definitely the kind of spot I&#39;d hit up again when I just wanna hang without any pressure.

Came here with a couple of friends and honestly the food was solid. Just wish they&rsquo;d told us upfront that not all the craft beers were part of the deal. We only found out when the bill came. Kinda awkward but whatever, the tacos made up for it 😅

Solid place to cool off in Centro, AC works great. Coffee&#39;s alright, nothing special but it does the job. Kinda feels like a chain though.

The French bread with tejate cream is still my favorite thing here. Been coming for a while now and that dish never disappoints. Waiters always take care of you too.

Came here for the tlayudas and they didn&rsquo;t disappoint. Got the vegetarian one with nopal&mdash;big portion, crispy base, still hot off the grill. The smoky red salsa and pickled onions really made it. Place was a bit busy but worth it.
