We had a great experience at this place. If you are in Monterrey you should visit this place for authentic Mexican 🇲🇽 food. Juan Pablo and his team welcomed us for a great breakfast and cooking 👨🍳👩🍳 experience including a visit of the local market 🌽. This Salsa Verde is just delicious and traditionally made with tomatillos 💚 ( green 🍅 ) which reminded us of a mix of tomato and 🍋!
After having lived in Monterrey for over a year, I'd confidently say this is one of the best spots in town. Rustic ambiance, excellent & fairly-priced local food, very attentive staff. The place makes you feel at home. Bonus points if any of the owners are around: It's a family business and the family is awesome.
Delicious food, charming location, and top-notch service! The perfect music selection added to the great atmosphere. Highly recommend!
