Casa Barroca

Started great, good table beautiful place bread service with nice twist on butter presentation. Then it started to go bad, pasta tasteless meat overcooked not close to a medium rear or medium more a medium well to well done, spice over over sweet. It was sent back, dry pasta soup so so salty. Simply a disaster.

Make sure you go over everything in the room during check in. They charged us for allegedly stealing a robe that was never in the room. Meanwhile the valet took 40 minutes to bring our car around front. Overall room was pretty nice except the bathroom sink barely dribbled water.

Incredible location downtown Puebla, food is amazing and attention is flawless!

Had lunch here at the restaurant and was blown away by the service, delicious dishes (the Mosaica tuna dish was amazing), and the ambiance. Incredible desserts and great drinks (mezcal, aperol spritz, etc), too. Truly a gem.

This is actually a review of the hotel suites. I am so pleased with the comfortable bed, the hot shower, the deep bathtub, the towels, the room appointments. I would not hesitate to stay here again. One heads up of note. They have a working kitchen so the peace and quiet of the night was broken at around 7:30 by kitchen people noises and distant music. I travel with earplugs because my wife snores but just a warning that you’re going to want to bring some earplugs if background noises like that make for a bad sleeping experience. Especially if you were up late the night before lol. Note 2: putting rosemary and lime pieces in the water bottle in the room sounds like a cute boutique spa idea, but it is actually a pretty stupid idea and it would be better just to have plain water.

If you want to enjoy Mexican cuisine try La Barroca. First class food and service a unique atmosphere and affordable prices. Thank you for the excellent service and attention of manager Enrique and his staff and the courtesy of the chef. Highly recommended.

The lunch we had over here was brilliant. Carlos was our waiter and he did an amazing job by sharing his recommendations. It couldn’t be any better as we enjoyed the chicken breast with local moles, tortilla soup and a variety of starters. The prices were good as well. Gracias Carlos :-)

In the heart of Puebla's downtown, an old house nestles a magnificent restaurant that offers exquisite and novel dishes that preserve the regional ingredients, yet offering an authentic new mixture of flavors. One of the best if not the best in town.

Oh my! What a terrifically elegant dining spot in the heart of old town Puebla. We were there on a very quiet night so we got stellar service. That said, my guess is that the same would be true when they are busy. Traditional Mexican regional dishes were delicious.

The meal was so good I ended up eating dinner here and coming back the very next day for breakfast! Another reviewer mentioned it's one of the best meals he's eaten. He is not kidding. I'm not that easily impressed and I'm shocked with how good this food is. The chef here is extremely talented. I feel like this place should get a lot more recognition. The wait staff is top notch. The manager must've checked on me ten times. I was eating alone so I really appreciated it. No English spoken here really but we managed fine. I enjoyed working on my Spanish. The waiter I told to just tell me what to order. And man did he pick the right things. That huarache with escomol (ant larvae) was exquisite. The mole was easily the best I've EVER eaten. Period. Most mole to me is meh. This I cleaned my plate. And that churro dessert. Ay dios mio! Lactose intolerance didn't stop me from eating every bite. It's worth the extra trip to the gym. Imagine a churro doughnut on top of s'mores like marshmallow and Housemade caramel sauce. And churro ice cream! The combination of hot and cold. Soft and crunchy. Salty. Sweet. It's literally the perfectly composed dessert. You simply can't do better. Whoever this chef is needs to be recognized. He or she gets it! Oh and I went back for breakfast. Had to keep it light so I got salmon. I don't know what they put under the salmon. Tasted like some sort of mashed beets or something. It was incredible. The sauces incredible. Imagine turning simple salmon into a satisfying meal. Well done! I'll be back next trip!

I just returned to NYC from Mexico after a two week vacation. The food I had at Casa Barroca was the absolute best; the staff was incredibly attentive and helpful. Carlos was a wonderful host! The ambiance is inviting and lovely, whether you eat inside or outside. I had the most delicious salmon--truly an outstanding meal, but whatever you order, I imagine it will be sensational!

We were in Puebla for 4 days and had lunch one day and dinner another at Casa Barroca. Both were wonderful but the dinner more so, mostly because we chose more interesting dishes and our server was nicer. For the dinner I had Aguachile de Pulpo, a wonderful spicy preparation of octopus and habanero peppers. Then for dinner the Parmentier, which was duck confit over mashed plantain with cinnamon, light poblano mole, sesame seeds, verdolagas and peanut powder. Super yummy. Dessert was Dulces Besos, mousse de pinon rosa filled with chocolate cream accompanied by red fruit salad with chamomile and horchata ice cream. Cocktails, wine, and espresso were also very good. And the prices were extremely affordable for Americans, and with outstanding quality for the money. Superb service. Beautiful dining rooms. Very highly recommended.

This place refused to serve the nanny of my friend's child because they considered her low class. When we asked for water the waiter said he'd give it to us from the tap (nobody can drink the tap water here) and would not provide a menu to the nanny. Very disturbing experience and doesn't reflect well on the city of Puebla or of Mexican society. We walked out because it was so offensive. When we complained to the hostess, she didn't even apologize. Very upsetting to see the reinforcement of classism and a giant social gap in Mexican society. This place doesn't deserve your money.

Very nice environment and staff is friendly. The food was ok with a beautiful presentation but poor distribution of flavors. I had the in season Chile en Nogala and the chilaquiles poblanos. The Chile had most of its flavor near the stem where most of the pine nuts were and the chilaquiles were a bit bland for me but may be great for those who do not like very strong or spicy flavors. I would say this is a good option in Puebla.

Very clean, great attentive service. Do not turn down the bread basket, it's delicious! I had the salmon but try the enchiladas and the traditional Chile relleno. I'd recommend and come back!

Average at best. Service not great. Building magical. Menu is very comprehensive but one needs to be guided. If server not inclined. Your experience will not be great.

This gem of a boutique hotel restaurant bar is in the heart of everything you can imagine as first rate class act! Our breakfast could not have been more beautifully presented and incredible service- Jorge and Monica went above and beyond to give us the ultimate dining experience for breakfast. The highest recommendation for this gorgeous place for all new travelers to the area of Puebla.

This is the best restaurant in the center of puebla. Excellent service, and the food is amazing. If you ever come, ask for Daniel, he is the best server.

We had a wonderful breakfast here and noticed that they had a Chef's table. We inquired and they were able to accommodate us for dinner that night. The food was excellent. I would definitely return.

A highlight of our trip to Puebla! We had a wonderful breakfast, and wanted to come back for more so we asked about the chef's table for dinner that night. The chef normally likes a lead time of 3 days to prepare the menu, but was gracious enough to accommodate our last minute request. We were given a menu ahead of time of items not on the menu. Our daughter did not like one of the seven courses, so he changed it for her. The food was scrumptious and included fresh, local delicacies. The chef came out and described each dish for us personally. We would go back in a hear beat!

Book at Your Own Risk!!! They ruined my 40th birthday celebration!! They gave my room away to what I can only assume is a more influential person, since they reserved way after we did. No Notice. No email or call warning. With an incompetent manager named Monica who only gave half answers and excuses promising to do her best but didn't correct her mistake of giving the room away. For her it wasn't first come first serve, completely unprofessional because by this time everything around us was booked. Mind you the reservation was made in September, and we planned our trip according to the reservations we made with Casa Barroca for Dec 7 & 8. Witnessed our names crossed off the room with another persons name. With already mediocre service examples like having to wait 45 minutes to get our car from valet and still walked to the car several blocks away. The other room we did not want was not even as pictured in brochures. According to their page restaurant closes at 11pm. There was ongoing parties and loud music until almost 3am. Again no warning or notice of this. The fact that my BF had the Chef's Table & a beautiful surprise for me, didn't make a difference in getting the room we requested. Never the less I would never recommend to friends or family and would advice to book at your own risk as when you get here you may not be getting what it is you reserved and expected. This is a very sad review as I expected to plan family events and parties here as we had just visited them in July 2018 taking a tour of the rooms and amenities. Their restaurant food is excellent but as their hotel rooms and how they handled our case, completely unacceptable bad service!! Save your money and go to a place where they will care about your business & guarantee you get what you asked for. Or make sure you are important enough to bump someone off their reservation. I would reconsider going back here under different management, who doesn't have excuses but solutions in keeping repeating customers happy.
