Talk about a hole in the wall... I was heading out on a…read moredrive from Toluca to the Condessa neighborhood in Mexico City and I was a little hungry. I drove past this place once, turned around passed it again and made it half way down the street before deciding to make another U turn to give it a try. I was not disappointed. I don't know if you've ever been served a meal in a plastic bag (i.e. The Boiling Crab in San Jose, CA or The Boil in NYC) but I bought half of a rotisserie chicken with potatoes, onions and peppers on the side...or in the bag. Let me tell you, this was the biggest surprise of my trip. The chicken was excellent! Savory and garlicky with the perfect amount of heat it was absolutely delicious. The best part is that for half of a chicken with the sides, it cost 33 Mexican Pesos...that's about $1.70USD! Unbelievable! I highly recommend this place. If you're ever in Mexico City, I strongly advise you to take the drive to La Leña.

I shared the Arrachera with my husband since it looked like it was going to be a big serving. Simple yet tasty. My Mom had some sort of steak with fries and my Aunt had a veggie taco. Service was fast, staff were nice. The restaurant was clean and welcoming.

I liked the nuevos arevueoos, which is basically scrbled eggs, and it includes a side of pasta and tortillas. I also ordered a side of the fruit dish which had all different types of fruits. I took that to go because the eggs and pasta were enough for me. I noticed that they have various types of chicken platters, and perhaps I will return for lunch sometime. The I side of the restaurant was a little bit modern, and all of the wait staff were dressed professionally. It was I retesting to see how busy they were just a day before Christmas.

Service was very slow and rude. Food took a very long time and when it arrived it was cold.

They came out and the meat was dry and the burgers vegetables were old and black. The server came by and dug out warm ketchup and mayo packets from his pockets. My husband ordered the chilaquiles and they were soggy and looked like slop. It wa a truly bad experience and we had traveled 4 hours to visit the basilica. We got sick and it put a damper on our day. AVOID THIS PLACE! Muy mal servicio, todo super lento. Meseros de muy mal gesto y tardaban en server. La comida fria y parecia solo ser calentada en micro. La verdura de nuestras hamburguesas vieja y negra. Los chilaquiles batidos y frios parecian vasca. Los baños sucios. nos enfermamos despues de lo poco q comimos. NO COMAN ALLI!
