It is a restaurant that, I remember, has existed since my childhood. With excellent attention. Their food is varied, with good seasoning. There are breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Their forte is coffee with milk and their bread, which is made on site. Their prices are affordable. Highly recommended.

I really liked this place, it is delicious, clean and has good prices. Their portions are good and the hot chocolate is delicious. Due to the distance I hesitate to return, but it is highly recommended.

Friends and people close to Peralvillo and its surroundings I highly recommend this place since it is not the typical market cuisine here you will be able to transport yourself to the feeling of home in addition to the hygiene and quality of each product they offer, the attention and service are excellent they offer you. A different menu every day and the place is also super pleasant to go alone or in company. Visit them. You will not regret it. Thank you very much for your attention to the entire working team that makes up the facilities.

It is a small space ideal for a breakfast for 4 people per table, if there are more they will be separated, otherwise it is quiet, the atmosphere is good, the food is good, there is very delicious bread.

Excellent place for breakfast, everything delicious, warm and friendly service, freshly made bread a unique experience. Very close to the basilica, but not in the food area outside, you walk a little further but it's worth it. Economical prices. The lady who delivers the bread was very kind and offered and recommended the best ones. La Malena and the pineapple filling a 10 for flavor, texture and quality

Great local "fonda" restaurant. Super friendly server who seemed fluent in English. Each dish came with noodle soup and rice or pasta. Plus we were served a jug of watermelon juice with our meal and jello dessert after our meal. The mole was legit. So much depth to the flavor. Great spot for tourists (like us) staying across the street at the Holiday Inn Express.
