“ Nice place to have drinks. Food is ok not great. To sit down for a while in clean nicely decored building. ”
“ A restaurant which definitely needs to be renovated! It seems that the interior design wasn't changed for years! The location is perfect, but it would be better if they put some tables outside, because there's quite dark inside, especially on the basement floor. The service was polite and quick. The food tasted ok, quite regular. Don't expect much from it. They also have buffet options at the weekends at 198 $, which is elevated to my opinion for regular meals. Better make an order a la carta. ”
“ Deliciiso. Yummi ”
“ I visited this place in july 2021, the attendants try to do their job but the service is slow, regarding to the dishes the taste is not good the chilaquiles was a little burned, the meat was a little chewy. If you are in a hurry and no have high expectations regarding the food you want to have you can visit this place but if is not your case I suggest to find other place. ”
“ A good option for a traditional meal in the center of Tlaxcala. The place is in the middle of the way up to the Convento and bullring. It has wifi. ”
