The sign out front says it has been around since 1993 so that is a good sign. Comida corrida options with salad, soup, main dish, side, dessert and tea, most for 85 pesos. Most are vegan takes on Mexican favorites such as milanesa or tacos al pastor. Tasty food and a great value. Restaurant is located in an apartment building one floor up from the street so it is quieter. The server seemed surprised to see an American there. Hopefully with this review some other American vegetarian tourists will give it a try. Restaurant is cash only and menus and staff are monolingual Spanish.

We were not sat on the patio as those seats were all taken by reservations but we were able to walk out and take a picture of the plaza below. I chose the pulpo adobado. Grilled octopus, a spicy avocado sauce and biryani rice. The octopus was nicely charred and the creamy avocado sauce went well with the charred octopus. The octopus was grilled perfectly it had a nice char outside and was tender inside. I tried a bit of my friends Chamorro de Verdi (pork shank) in mole sauce. The pork shank was braised beautifully and fall off the bone tender. The mole sauce was flavorful and not overly sweet. The portion was also huge. The meal came with bread accompanied with 2 types of butter regular and a coco infused butter. Both had salt on the side which added a bit of flare to it. I preferred the regular butter but enjoyed trying the chocolate one, it reminded me more of a breakfast pastry or a dessert. Overall great meal, service, ambiance and nice view.

I ordered chilaquiles verdes with arrachera 8/10 because the food came out lukewarm--if THAT! Service sucked 4/10- I felt like because I was a "foreigner" attention wasn't given to me at complete capacity, I'm native to Mexico even if I don't look it. The food runners gave better service & attention than the actual waiter. I would've liked to sit closer to the overview of El Zocalo but at least photo opportunities were available. I expected better from this place & maybe a revisit will enhance the rating experience. Ambiance 10/10 because it is beautiful & gorgeously decorated all over; everything else could be elevated!

This spot is perfect for a date night but the food was just okay. I liked everything we tried, except for the fish which was a bit dry. Service could be improved though, or maybe it was just our server. She was pretty short with us and cleaned our plates quickly (which I normally wouldn't mind but I was just getting used to the slower pace of Mexico City, where dining can take as long as you want it to). Then when the bill came, she demanded a 15% or 20% tip, when every other place we had been to ASKED if we wanted to tip and started at 10%. This was a bit of a turnoff and left a bad taste in our mouths as we left.

So Mexico City is a city that is truly a foodie's paradise-One can't throw a rock without hitting…read morea Michelin rated restaurant. Another thing this city has is very inexpensive spots you can eat,like pop ups or stands that serve such high quality food at very cheap prices. The third thing I found about this city is where this restaurant fits in-They have restaurants that are historic,that opened over 100 years ago-Cafe de Tacuba fits in that category,having opened in 1912. This restaurant is located in Centro Historico-just a few blocks from Zocalo.Its location is a very busy touristy part of Mexico City. When we arrived there was a 30 minute wait,but once we walked in it was obvious why as it was truly a work of art in there. The walls were adorned with amazing paintings and murals and interior designs elements that transported you back to Mexico in the 1950s and earlier. It was gorgeous. I don't want to call it a fancy place with all the stigma that sometimes represents but it was a fancy place without all the stuffiness of a fancy place. It was a very warm and welcoming place to dine at. There was a lady walking around with a platter full of conchas and churros that one could indulge in while waiting their main meal. I had to get a churro-it was so delicious. We also got chicken tortilla soup-it was so rich and tasty with the perfect blend of Mexican seasonings. I had a pretty good cafe con leche as well-you could really taste the high quality coffee beans they use in their coffees compared to what I'd been getting all trip in the streets. Now when you visit this restaurant and you could only try one dish-that dish begins and ends with Enchiladas Tacuba(355 pesos/$20.35) That's what I got and it was awesome.Its basically a chicken enchilada dish with a creamy spinach based sauce topped with cheese-flavor bomb to the fullest. 9.5/10 Item I wouldn't clarify this as an inexpensive meal compared to other places we visited in Mexico City,but I would call this place an incredible dining experience where one can just feel the importance of the building one is having this meal. Heck Diego Rivera had his wedding reception here in 1922. I for sure would recommend anyone who has the pleasure of visiting Mexico City,must add Cafe de Tacuba to their itinerary-it's such a rich experience.
