“ Mole made with chocolate is a nice lightly spicy local option - try it. ”
“ Very good restaurant right at the zócalo in Cholula. My family and i ordered 2 dishes to share. We ordered plato Cholula which came with several antojitos (2 tacos dorados de papa, 2 chalupas, 2 tlacoyos and 2 tostadas). The second dish was enchiladas los ángeles which had 3 enchiladas with 3 direct moles. Both dishes were good, but las enchiladas with the 3 moles was extraordinary, my 6 year old kid specially enjoyed it. I definitively recommend this place. ”
“ Great food and service. I really enjoyed the breakfast here ”
“ Great place to have some Pueblan food, especially chile en nogada. While it is a somewhat fancier restaurant, the prices are pretty reasonable. Perfect for lunch after visiting Cholula. ”
