Mexican food, especially Poblano snacks We only tried the Flautas and the cemitas. All delicious. We were left wanting to try the carnitas, the pozole (of course to compare it with that of Guerrero), the Menudo and the Birria. I hope there is time to be able to taste more of Puebla's gastronomy. Excellent flavor of the place, affordable prices; really recommendable.

The food is very delicious, I recommend going to the top of the terrace for the view. They serve you very quickly and are very friendly, they serve you in good quantity, the only bad thing is that the bathrooms are small. The prices are good, you spend about 200 pesos per person with everything and food. For the view, I highly recommend going.
