Tlayudas El Negro

First time ever eating a Tlayuda and I was very impressed with the flavor..oh my! The staff were so helpful since we couldn’t speak Spanish well. They walked us through each item. The atmosphere was very serene especially after passing the grill on the way in. Will definitely come back for validation.

I just had a filling lunch here and I'm stuffed! I ordered the Tlayuda premium (300 pesos) that came with carne asada and ribs. It also came with sides of avocado and onions. The meal is huge, you get two plates one for the Tlayuda and one for the meats! First the Tlayuda was crispy and the cheese was so good. It's so cheesy that you could do a cheese pull with it. By itself along with the provided salsas, it's a meal in itself. Now the meat was tasty and not fatty. I really enjoyed the carne asada, it has the fresh off the grill taste. Combining the meat and the Tlayuda made it a wonderful meal. I also had an agua de sabor, lemon flavor. It was like a honey lemon iced tea. It was really refreshing. The restaurant was not busy at all an hour after it opened. It's a large space and was very comfortable. Overall I recommend coming here for lunch or dinner. It will fill you up. If you're two people, I highly recommend just ordering one Tlayuda premium and sharing it. We ended up taking some home since we ordered two. If you're in the neighborhood, I definitely recommend giving it a try!

This was a big place but not even a quarter full. They had a Jackie Chan movie playing loudly on a tv on the back wall which didn’t do anything for the atmosphere. Our meals were very big but the meat was dry, the drinks were fine and service was good with the staff being friendly, the toilets were mediocre and not the cleanest they could have been. Would probably not revisit.

First off I like my food, loved the live performances but the service was extremely lacking, especially towards the end when the restaurant was getting empty, my cuñado & I ordered 2 shots but were waiting for orange slices. We couldn't wait anymore since we had to go so we took them neat and asked for the bill. My wife and cuñados tlayuda was folded??? Never seen that before but they also said it was "meh" (tasajo y cecina.) Trago de mezcal was fairly priced and decent burn/flavor. Probably not going back unless someone wants to. Let me know if you know of a spot I should check out 😁

The place is very clean with live music and the waiters are very friendly and helpful while deciding what to buy. But, the food itself I’m not a big fan of. It might be just me and my tastes, but I felt the tlayuda was a little dry. I shared a single tlayuda with a friends as it was huge.

Very tasty dishes, not only tlayudas but also the other items are really really good, service is attentive and quick, live music is nice too.

Suitable for vegetarians. 😊 They were very accomodating to top the tlayudas with nopal (cactus). Great place to try warm tlayudas against the background of live music and jamaica (hibiscus) drink for a good price! Very smoky location and poor ventilation unfortunately. Other food like tostadas was not served warm. Pay in cash or expect to be charged 3% extra for credit card payment.

Absolutely delicious Tlayudas and fantastic value for money. Only a 15 minute walk from the city centre and half the price charged. I would recommend the ribs
