It melted in my mouth almost like custard, in such a delicious way, and the flavor was perfect. WOW! The hot chocolate is also delicious, and frothed/served table side. Not too sweet. It was still their breakfast menu so we got mole enchiladas and some sort of enmolados with salsa verde. I preferred the latter, but it didn't have as much chicken on it as I'd like. I'd come back just for the sweet bread.

They were actually open today New Years Day, and there were at least 40 people seated outside waiting for their name to be called. This is quite the famous restaurant here in Mexico City. By the time it was our turn everyone was starving. The most awesome thing about this restaurant is the fast service. The servers literally sprint back and forth from the tables to the kitchen, and plus it's a team effort. I ordered the Chilaquiles de pollo, and my boyfriend ordered Enchiladas de pollo. All six of us enjoyed their world famous pozole with chicken, which I must admit, tasted quite good. This restaurant has their service down to a science, and they should patent it!

This was an opportune rest and sustenance stop made in the Centro area for some flautas (tacos…read moredorados/ rolled tacos) and pozole. It's a chain and located in a small mall area off a pedestrian shopping walkway/ mall. Take the escalators all the way to the top. Since you dine in, you have "free" access to their very clean bathrooms, making it another great lunch stop. We ordered 3 Flautas with cheese for 95 MXN and a small bowl of pozole for 92 MXN. The flautas were super huge, meaty, and ultra crunchy. The sheet of quesillo on top was a nice added delight. The pozole came with a side of tostados and a whole lime with a squeezer. The lime is absolutely required and adds to the layers of simple richness to the pozole topped with crunchy cabbage bits, radishes, and onions. The waiter definitely pressured us into get chips and guacamole, but the unexpected add-on was very reasonably priced and refreshing. Service was super quick and prompt. Plenty of seating is to be had here making for an even more convenient stop.

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.

I prefer the green sauce from the chilaquiles. I also ordered the fresh squeezed orange juice and it was very good. I was able to order some conchas to go. Best idea ever. I will be back!

Last time I went I got an order of flautas and some guacamole. The guac is just okay realistically but it's a massive portion for ~$50 MXN. The flautas were amazing. Definitely would order again. All in all it's simple food at a great price and an easy experience. What more can you ask for? Will absolutely return.

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%.
