Located in a beautiful colonial courtyard, this restaurant offers an experience that combines tradition and modernity. Some of their famous moles or seasonal dishes like chiles en nogada. The bohemian atmosphere and decoration make the food even more special. Every time I go I love to order the venison tzic that reminds me of my Yucatan.
