Vive la experiencia, vale la pena Excelente lugar. Desde el servicio, la atención, limpieza del lugar y paciencia para atender personas tercera edad. La comida es creativa con el sazón de lo tradicional. Quedé sorprendido gratamente.

Costo aproximado por persona: $200.00-300.00 MXN ($11-17 USD) Es un restaurante a la carta con varias opciones, desde lo clásico como milanesas hasta comida de la región. Yo pedí un consomé y unas enfrijoladas del convento. Ambas opciones estaban deliciosas y saciantes. Dos aspectos negativos: el servicio no fue rápido y el sanitario me pareció pequeño. ¿Regresaría? Sí, no me parecieron precios elevados y lo que pedí me llenó más de la cuenta.

La comida es deliciosa y el lugar es muy bonito; sin embargo, el servicio no fue el mejor. Desde mi experiencia, el mesero que nos atendió no tuvo un trato adecuado además nos proporcionó un vaso estrellado. Espero que puedan mejorar el servicio, ya que el lugar y la comida tienen mucho potencial.

Me gustó bastante. Precios accesibles. Solo la sopa de tortillas tenía incorporada la crema y le quitaba un poco de sabor del caldo original. Pero en general muy rico todo. El personal atento. Me encantaron las enchiladas tlaxcaltecas.

A good option for a traditional meal in the center of Tlaxcala. The place is in the middle of the way up to the Convento and bullring. It has wifi.
