Excellent place highly recommended

The breakfast was super delicious, however I wanted to check out the issue of classism in downtown restaurants and I totally found out. Just like the Tacuba café, they are super classist and, above all, the waitresses who serve you are grumpy. Apart from that, the food is okay, but the poor treatment of the staff leaves a lot to be desired. I would recommend going back to the place.

A classic you can't miss if you're in downtown Mexico City. My favorite: enchiladas Suizas, and a chuz for dessert.

I don't like to speak badly of places, but to be honest, I didn't like the hair in the fruit. Well, we didn't say anything, but there was another one in the soup; I don't know if it was just bad luck. 😓 The chicken wasn't very pleasant because it still had feathers 🍗😢

The food is nothing out of the ordinary, I ordered Pork Loin, it was a little salty for my taste, we also had a marinated synchronized, The name POPULAR is not reflected in the prices, the prices are on par with Toks, Vips, Sanborns, etc, the ATTENTION of the waitresses is not very good, most have a bad temper with their exceptions and if you have questions about the menu consider asking because they are going to screw you haha, the facilities are old, the car is generally clean, what saved the visit was the singer who entertained the dinner. For all the above, I do not think I will return, it is unlikely.

Yesterday, Sunday, July 6th of this year, my partner and I went and he was given a steak that smelled bad. I asked the waitress why it smells like that. She replied that it's because of the seasonings they put on it. Of course, I asked her to change it. The truth is that the quality of this place has already dropped a lot.

Not at all recommended. In short, the food leaves a lot to be desired, the waitresses are rude, and you can't pay by card.

The food is good, but the poor service from the ladies who serve you is not and that makes you not want to come back.
