Augurio

If you're the type of person who likes mole, this restaurant is for you. They have different types of it and each dish is incorporated with it. I'm not the biggest fan of mole but I liked some of the dishes we had especially the lechon, the mole there was green and had a lighter taste compared to the others. They also have plenty of awards so I believe that proves a lot already. It's like a fine dining place but they don't have ac. The servers are very attentive and really worth the tip.

The food was amazing. I had the beef tongue tacos and el mole poblano with chicken. Both amazingly delicious. The homemade tortilla chips, bread and dips were all very yummy too. The only thing I didn’t like was the music. It was just some kind of really tacky dance tracks on repeat. It really wasn’t necessary. Service ok. Although they had an English menu, the waiters didn’t really speak English. But the food was excellent so I’d recommend it.

The space is beautiful and the service was excellent. The food tasted more like traditional home cooking. We tried the lechon and pork ribs with different moles. The mole poblano was good. Did not like the tres leches cake at all.

A must if you visit Puebla!! Food exquisite! Service A+! And it's such a beautiful place.

Masterpiece. One of the best meals I've had in Mexico. From the exceptional service, the lovely atmosphere, to the masterful execution of the dishes, this spot is legendary. Romeritas: Soft delicate shrimp patties in mole. Really interesting texture and wonderful flavor. Arroz con mole: We had the house mole in numerous ways, because it is just so good. A fascinating take on mole Poblano, this version uses no chocolate, but gets it's flavor and texture from the combination of dried chiles and textured with plantain. Sopa de habas (lima beans). Wonderful soup, with some great acidity and depth. A perfect start. Pulpo (octopus): Cooked perfectly, in an extremely deep, slightly spicy salsa. This was the winner of the night, especially with the house made tortillas. Lechón: A more manageable take on the classic, with a perfectly crispy skin, pops of freshness and acidity to balance the fattiness. Tender, cooked perfectly. Postre: We shared a merengue tart with fresh fruit, which was delicious, and complimented a small digestif to cap everything off. Service was extremely knowledgeable and thorough without being overbearing. Highly recommended as a special occasion. Pricey but not over the top.

A spectacularly great choice for fine dining in Puebla. I ate lightly, with a wonderful fideo seco, a chancla and dessert. A small bowl of their anise flavored mole came with chips, for sampling

My girlfriend chose this place for a nice dinner out. We walked over and we sat immediately. The restaurant has a few different rooms to enjoy. The huazontle dish I tried was delicious as was the mole my girlfriend had. Chips and salsa were flavorful and the drinks were delicious as well. The servers were attentive and then in typical Mexican dining style all but disappeared for quite a while. We had a delicious dessert however I did start choking on it and nobody bothered to bring or offer something to drink, it wasn't plague it's that I was dying from corn pops stuck in my throat. Beyond that everything was delicious and enjoyable.

Augurio was the recommendation of a local tour guide after disappointing gastronomy experiences at La Noria and Santóua Gastrobar with the inflexibility of the chefs to accommodate vegetarian dietary needs. Upon arrival I was greeted by Gerardo Vega the General Manager. I told him this was my last attempt at having a fulfilling vegetarian fine dining experience on my final day in Puebla. I shared my disappointment with La Noria and Santóua Gastrobar and Gerardo reassured me he would go to great lengths to make my time at Augurio memorable. The menu is full of vegetarian options and Gerardo and his team made the whole menu available for modifications as I needed. My server Rafael was timely, communicated with me and executed service above and beyond. I loved seeing Gerardo interact with all the guests, genuinely caring about their experience and addressing their needs. Gerardo’s employees described him as an excellent leader. Augurio filled my vegetarian belly with lots of deliciousness and I leave Puebla complete in my fine dining journey. Keep up the great work Gerardo and Rafael!

I was in Puebla for a few. Days and looked up a few lists, and asked locals where to get mole. This place was reasonably priced but has more of a fine dining feel. The waiters are a bit formal, in a nice way. I enjoyed being there, the mole was very good, but perhaps the show stopper was the knock me down chocolate flan. One of the best things I had in Mexico. So if you're looking for a nicer restaurant for mole, and other Mexican dishes, check out this place. I'm a fan.

Best dinner in Puebla and that's saying something in a city full of great food. Service was top notch, thank you to our waiter Rafael. They made me a dinner with the pipian rojo vegetarian. It was terrific. I hope they add it to the menu. Appetizer of tlacoyos was delicious, followed by enchiladas, one with each sauce, and the special veggie dish afore mentioned. Can't wait to come back

I don't spend a lot of time planning out my trip, but I do love researching where to eat and this place was high on my list for their updated versions of traditional Puebla food. Everything about this place was great, from the service to the food. Since I don't speak Spanish and most of the staff didn't speak English, Chef Arturo came out because he spoke good English. He gave me a full explanation of the moles and everything on the menu. He also sent out bites of food and different sauces for me to try. The house mole was probably the best mole I've ever had and I wanted to lick the bowl clean. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a nicer meal in Puebla!

Food is very basic, ordered all recommended dish and not tasty. The run out off the blanco mole which is what we were going to get. So the manager girl came and ask how can they made up, and she said how about order another steak. I thought it will be on house, but it's actually on our bill. That's the way they made up their problems. Then just say sorry and don't "made up" And finally, the biggest bummer is the server Joe. Both my husband and I agreed that he is the worst server that we have encountered in the world. He never smiled never greeted us, looked like we own him a lot of money. He didn't say anything just drop the menu on the table. Always tried to take our cup or dish away even after we told him to leave it. When we trying to order he just say everything we wanted was no, and pointed at the most expensive main course over and over. Btw, this 400 sucking pig dish is just ok. When we ask for the check, he just drop off the check without saying anything. During the card charging no words as well, just looks grumpy and silent. How on the earth this is an acceptable service. Why he can be server for the high end pricing restaurant. So for the first time in our life, we didn't leave a tip! Yeahhhh

We went to a number of Mexico City's finest restaurants, but this gem from Puebla beat them all. The mole poblano sauce was exquisite, a perfect explosion of sweetness, bitterness and spice, the bone marrow appetizer was one of the most perfect dishes I've ever had in my life, the pipian verde pork belly was another complex balance of delectable textures and flavors and the desserts were excellent as well. What we appreciated most of all, beyond the patient and attentive service, was that the chef didn't need to hide behind exotic ingredients transformed into unrecognisable forms, but rather, took traditional dishes and made them sparkle as brightly as they possibly could. With such reasonable prices for this kind of quality, if you're in Puebla for even one night, you should make sure dinner at Augurio is on your itinerary.

Augurio is the best restaurant in Puebla! I have been here for a month and I had the opportunity to visit several fine restaurants. This one is by far the best! I ordered tongue, and it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious, served over a bed of salsa verde and rice. Prior to my dish arriving, they brought to the table a sample of their mole. It was divine! A perfect balance of flavors. I will definitely come back to have the mole. Both, the service and the Margarita were excellent.

Had a big group and wait staff was super accommodating. We all ordered something different and were not disappointed. Even got to try the famous mole de caderas. Staff was very helpful explaining the long process required to be able to enjoy this particular dish. Overall, a great experience!

Highly recommended. We ate here during a week stay in Puebla. Really amazing spot to sample authentic pueblan cuisine presented in a modern setting. The food is inventive and delicious, with fair prices for what it is. Worth a try!

Great find just a 1/2 block away from Museo Amparo. It drew our attention Because it was filled and with mostly local people. It's location is in a boutique hotel and so the styling and the decoration is very nice. The waiter was professional and took command right away. We were given a sampler sope with chicken that was delicious and light. We started our meal with a gin and tonic that was fresh with swirls of citrus and cucumber. The dishes we ordered were a selection of appetizers, salads and soup's. Each were prepared skillfully and gave us a great flavor of the regional dishes.

This was the most delicious meal we had and the price point was quite reasonable. The menu is complex, staff is attentive and everything is scratch made. Highly recommended.
