Service is excellent! You must try the  huatzontles with rice, they prepare as my type of sauce right next to your table, you can pick from several types is hot chilies and ingredients. The self playing piano provides very soothing music that goes along with your food. Obviously, hand made tortillas, as dessert you must have the xoconostles with ice cream!
