This restaurant exceeded our expectations in food, service, atmosphere, and price.
The sopa veraduras (veggie soup) was fresh with brightly flavored broth. It immediately signaled to us that we were in for a quality meal.
The fillet of beef mole was tender and the mole sauce was spicy, rich and applied sparingly such that it did not overpower the steak.
The chile relleno, which I chose because it is a classic, also exceeded my expectations. I was concerned it would be too much cheese and cream, but it was in fact well balanced, and so good that I didn't even miss not having a meat myself.
The meal was so good that we stuck around and ordered two desserts: the mouse de mamey and the tres leches cake. The cake was good, maybe slightly sweet if one was to be extremely critical. The mouse de mamey was very interesting. Mamey is a local fruit that I would describe as being a mildly flavored cross between melon, passion fruit, and avocado. It was slightly similar to a sweet red bean paste if it were possible to mouse it.
Across the board the dishes were high quality, expertly prepared, interesting, and the service was hard both working and gracious. The only criticism I'd give of the service is that they were working a bit too frantically, though with great effort and care. It was a lovely meal. We are very glad we made the trek to this restaurant rather than just staying in at our hotel.
