Another place that's well worth the walk off the Zocalo. The estofado was delicious. Can't beat the prices. Service was great.

Incredibly friendly and welcoming service and atmosphere! Our waiter explained all of the dishes to us and couldn’t have been nicer about accompanying our group’s dietary restrictions. The neighborhood was also really lovely to walk through. And the food was delicious- our favorite was the chilaquiles de frijol con pollo - the roasted chicken was amazing.
