Have been there twice with mixed results. Service is consistently good but food is not. Atmosphere is great given that the place is in the middle of the National University Cultural Centre, South Mexico City. Food, as I said, goes from good, like some Habanero Pasta I tried once, to average, like the Enchiladas trio, to plainly poor, like the Tortilla Soup. Limited wine list but reasonably priced. Food prices a bit on the expensive side. All desserts I have tried have been good enough.

Desserts were pretty good. Staff insisted on not getting a tip which made me tip in cash.
