The coffee was absolutely delicious it was bold, smooth and had just the right amount of sugar. The carne asada quesadillas I got were tender, warm and the perfect balance between savory and salty. The atmosphere of the cafe was vibrant, conversational and welcoming.

These tamales are stuffffffffed! They offered a variety of tamales -- sweet, savory, combination of both, vegetarian, you name it! Would've loved to try more of the sweet ones. Ordered the frijol con queso y chapulines, cuitalochecon que Oaxaca, and flor de calabaza con queso. All were very good -- with the flor de calabaza being my favorite. Each tamale had an even ratio of filling and masa. Don't think you can go wrong with any of them.

My husband and I visited Tamales Doña Emi when we were exploring Colonia Roma a few weeks ago, and…read moreeverything we tried there (and we tried several tamales) was incredible. Some of the best bites of food we've had on either/both of our two visits to Mexico City so far! Tamales Doña Emi is a family business. The restaurant's namesake Ermilia Galvan Sanchez (Doña Emi) started selling tamales from a cart in the 1960s; her granddaughter Carmen has taken on the lead role at the shop. Tamales Doña Emi is a window stand with seating out front under an awning. It's homey and comfortable and totally casual. And the service was friendly and lovely and quick, too. Their menu is incredible; they offer so many different tamales - sweet, savory, vegetarian... They were creative but completely delicious. We tried several: lomo con aceitunas (pork loin with olives); huitlacoche con queso de cabra (huitlacoche with goat cheese); frijol con queso y chapulines (beans, cheese, and grasshoppers with salsa morita); and higo (fig - a sweet tamal). I have eaten a lot of tamales in my life: some good and some not so good. But all of these tamales were sensational. Every single one. And as if that weren't enough - we tried some of their champurrado (a chocolate-based atole - a drink made from masa). Surprise surprise - also delicious. I'd try anything at Tamales Doña Emi. Everything on the menu! I absolutely loved my first experience at Tamales Doña Emi. I'm sure I'll be back for more tamales from this special place until I've tried the whole menu.

Came in for breakfast 7/27/27, table for 4 on 2nd floor…read more Definitely a nice place to have breakfast outside of eating tacos every wherelse. We order pan de dulce for the table and we got 2 conchas, soft and warm just made. A chocolate roll and a fig and nata pastry along with coffee for the table. We order hievos rancheros with the red sauce. Huevos revueltos con chorizo, omelete con flor de calabaza y tamal de elote con crema. We also order a birria de res to share with the table. Service was very quick, efficient and friendly menus can be had in english or Spanish . My daughter order a hot chocolate with preparation table side, she said it was amazing. Fantastic place for brunch but arrive before 9:45am otherwise lines and some slight wait after 10am.

No music beyond the 2 guitar player going around table to table to see if you wanted a serenade. Skipped their offer 1st time around. Pretty quiet, bright and clean. Found that waiter spoke a little English and with our little Spanish got things done. Menus are bilingual Spanish-English. Ordered 4 lamb tacos, chile en nogada, cooked chicken in green sauce and a fish dish (forgot name, little spicy) then a coke, horchata and a pineapple drink. We got chips, cheese, sauce while waiting. Those were all nicely done but average. Dishes out maybe 10 min later. All presented well and hot. We shared each dish. Lamb tacos nicely done, little dry, but they give you some guacamole, a brown sauce, along with the green sauce and cheese with the tortilla chips. Nice, not fatty. Next was the chiles en nogada. First time tried this and really enjoyed, many flavors and nicely flavored beef. In general little on sweet side, so probably couldn't eat more than 1. The chicken in green sauce was a homey, comfort food. Nicely cooked chicken leg and thigh was an ever so slightly spicy sauce. Also came with tortilla wraps and Spanish riceLastly was the spicy baked fish. Done well, fell apart pretty easily, was spicy, but not too much. Had green beans on side done well, not too soft or hard, and Spanish rice. Drinks were all a hit. Coke is coke. Horchata and pineapple juice served in big mugs. Pineapple tastes freshly squeezed and horchata was a super solid example in every way. Oh almost forgot, later in the meal we figured out how to get the 2 guitar fellows to play for us. 2 songs for 300 peso, about 7min total. They did a good job with both the guitar and singing, was enjoyable to listen to them. Would stop back again if in area.

I mean all the luggage was squeezed into the corner and the tables and chairs were so squished together. I had the Swiss enchiladas because I don't do eggs. These were really superb. Each bite was delectable and had various textures. The extra cheese and sauce definitely brought everything home. They give you a very generous portion in that it was a whole avocado. Yeah. Like both halves. Yum. The hubs had the Rancheros del Ojo. This was good a good pick with the two protein (chicken and pork?). The chips slowly loosing its crisp wasn't something I enjoyed, but the hubs really liked it. He wanted something really authentic that Mexicans enjoyed, and he seemed pleased with this pick. This spot seems to be the most popular so hence the most busy. If you see a spot open up, go for it! You won't be disappointed.

My favorite thing to order normally is the enchiladas but I decided to order the Chilaquiles here and omg- they were great.
