We stopped by late at night since we remembered it was right next to our previous hotel. There was a long line, but we added our names to the list, and in about 10 minutes they offered us seats at the bar. Our server, Sandra, was fantastic—she quickly offered us drinks, and we ordered the naranjada (super refreshing, made with real juice) and a hot chocolate (so good!). For food, we tried the poblano soup (creamy and delicious), the sopa azteca (similar to tortilla soup but even better), the mole enchiladas (vegan style), and a sweet piece of bread—ojo de buey, which was absolutely yummy. If you happen to be in the area, you definitely need to pay them a visit. The prices are also very affordable. You’re welcome. 😊

Amazing breakfast spot with delicious traditional options at an affordable price.

Food was delicious and the day of the dead bread was really good. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Mexico City to stop here they have lots of options for food

Keith Carne

I have so much love for this place. Sort of a diner but largely focused on Mexican dishes. I had the Plato Economicos 11 — Bistec chilaquiles. My wife had Plato 12. Vegetarian options and good for eggs! No frills but friendly and efficient service.

Paul Guevara

Great service and attention from the service crew. Best of all, this restaurant satisfied my craving for Tamales Oaxaqueño around the Centro Historico area.

Maybe the best Mexican food I had during my stay in the city. The staff was very friendly and the kitchen and the tables were very clean. There was some waiting time of ~30 minutes.

I first came to this restaurant over 10 years ago and was impressed by the easygoing atmosphere, the excellent service, and the delicious food. I was just in CDMX again last week, and went to Cafe La Pagoda four times in the five days I was there. The quality of food and service has not changed one bit. I highly recommend it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. There’s usually a wait to be seated no matter what time of the day you go, but it’s well worth it. You will not be disappointed! Tip: Don’t forget to try the sopa azteca and the café con leche.

Very lovely and traditional Mexican cafeteria/ restaurant, its apparently very popular to the locals and tourists, it’s crowded at all hours and you have to make line to get a table, but wait time is very short, because you can only stay for no more than an hour, they also serve fast and the food is very tasty! Highly recommend the Chamoyada with mango and Tamal.

Everything made with love and brought to you warm. This place is so nice and vintage that my wife fell in love with it. The food was all delicious! But especially their bread/pan dulce! Highly recommend this place!

Muy linda experiencia, lindo servicio y muy buen lugar para distraerse. La gente que frecuenta este lugar a menudo va a distraerse y se encuentra gente de varias edades, la comida que sirven es buena y a buen precio y tienen diferentes tipos de bebidas pero los precios varean y algunas si están algo exageradas pero la gente que trabaja ahí en especial los meseros son buenos y atienden muy bien la verdad se merecen su propina, aunque las desventajas que le encuentro es que no tiene estacionamiento y los baños no son muy agradables pero fuera de eso es un buen lugar para ir en compañía de amigos o pareja, lo recomiendo.

Lugar bonito para convivir y pasar el rato. La atención en todo momento del personal es buena, la música variada y los precios accesibles; es de los pocos lugares donde no te incluye el servicio"obligatorio en el ticket" felicidades. Solamente pondría más atención en la limpieza de los baños y el volumen de la música (en algún momento ya no escuchas a tus acompañantes).

Agradable lugar, excelente servicio, solo les falta especificar los paquetes que entran en el come lo que quieras por $199.

Muy rica y peculiar la comida, es una idea atrevida pero deliciosa, el lugar bien ambientado y ubicado. El uno detalle para que mi visita fuera inolvidable es que les falta tacto a los meseros, nunca fueron groseros pero les faltaba entusiasmo.

Un buen lugar para degustar comida rápida. El precio de todo está cerca del promedio. Si compras alimentos en paquete no avisan si se les ha terminado algo y si no lo comentas no te reponen el alimento. El personal no se da abasto con las mesas y el servicio puede ser algo lento pero siempre te tratan con muchas amabilidad. Cobran por el servicio.

Delicious food, great service.

Went there super early in the morning because it’s open 24 hours. Had the enchiladas suizas and they were spicy and super cheesy, so I really enjoyed them. However, the waiters had such a hard time with the bill. It was the most complicated transaction ever lol. Anyway, worth a visit if you have to eat super late or super early.

Nessa Nguyen

We love the tamale here. The combo is pretty good value, comes with a main, fried beans, coffee AND delicious baguette. I also love that they brought the pastries to the table for us to pick.

Victor Moncada

It seems tourists skip this place for some reason. The place makes you feel like you traveled to the past (in a good way). The food is cheap and great. Had chilaquiles verdes with a coffee and it was great. The pastries are good and taste very homemade. Sometimes it gets busy and you can wait a little. I’d be back here 100%

Maria Pyszka

Soup very tasty, eggs also. Small advice - if you have English menu - the waiters supposed to learn some English :) forgot about my Acuafresca :( have been there at like 4am - big plus for being open at so strange hours. Tresleches.. didnt expect strawberries but that’s just my mistake (there was a picture)

It was a busy place. It's not exactly Mexican cuisine to me...the food was ok. Our party had chicken, beef, ham and cheese sandwich, and tamale. We also had flan - the chocolate one, cappuccino, and the original flavor. They are also just ok. Otherwise, the service was good and the atmosphere was chill.

Lamentablemente lo único agradable es la terraza, precios excesivamente alto y la variedad es escasa. No te dan la cuenta como tal, cosa que me sorprende para ser una cadena. Servicio pésimo como si te hicieran un favor el servirte o tomarte la orden. Baños en malas condiciones

He ido varias veces y he notado que el servicio a ido decayendo, las últimas 2 veces, incluyen cosas de más en la cuenta, y al querer aclararlo se portan muy groseros. La música llega un punto que se vuelve super aburrida, ya que le bajan de volumen como si hubiera terminado todo a lo que los empleados del lugar comentan es a causa del dueño ya que no le gusta la música fuerte ni la variedad. Mis amigos y yo hemos decidido ya no volver a visitar este lugar. Si visitas este sitio recomiendo pongas atención a tu cuenta.

Es un lugar de nicho, es decir, para cierto público que antepone la ebriedad a la calidad. Me explico, la cerveza de barril está rebajada y no te pueden vender cerveza por unidad, sino a partir de cubetas. La comida es rancia y con mala presentación, por otro lado, el ambiente oscuro con luces neón da la sensación de un lugar de mala muerte y roban cosas al mejor descuido. Si te gustan los lugares por la calidad, estilo y camaradería, este lugar no es para ti.

There was always a wait line so I had big expectations...the food was meh, service was truly lacking.

Micheal Box

I was on the waiting list and somehow was removed so I had to wait almost 50 minutes then another 20 to order. Received my food before my drinks and they didnt even bring everything I ordered but still charged me. Only thing good was the tamale which was fantastic. I was really excited to eat here but met with disappointment.

Edward Sequeira

Service was ok, but food was terrible! It’s a 24/7 dinner but food was awful don’t bother trying. The enchilada de cochinito pibil was ok but too small

Llegamos y nos apresuraron a ordenar, nos llevaron los platillos y no se volvieron a parar ni para limpiar la mesa, las alitas despedazadas y con plumas todavia. Al final nos querían cobrar el 15% de propina de un servicio que no nos dieron.

El peor lugar para tomar, pedimos un tritón y nada de vodka, se le dijo a la mesera "le echó" y estaba igual, se le dijo que no tenía y nos trajo al "encargado" y no trataron super más, nos corrieron del lugar por decir la verdad y aparte nos cobran "servicio" muy elevado, pésimo por cierto, amenazando que traitisn otras tres personas más. Horror del lugar.

La comida está buena, nada extraordinario, pero es buena, la atención igual buena a secas, pero eso no quiere decir que por sus pantalones te quieran cobrar forzosamente el 15% de propina, eso debe ser a consideración del cliente pues NO ES OBLIGATORIA. Después de haberles dicho que no es forzoso que se les deje el 15% las jetotas fueron evidentes. Obvio no regresaré, pero tengan cuidado con eso. Ya es un clásico de esos lugares cobrar lo que se les da la gana.

This was the worst meal I’ve had in Mexico. The food and service felt decades out of date, and nothing here represents true local cuisine. If anything, it reflects a place that simply lacks quality and taste. As someone from abroad, you won’t get an authentic or worthwhile experience here. There are countless places in Mexico with far better food and far better service. I strongly recommend avoiding this restaurant.
