La Penumbra Saltillo Reviews
Excelente el lugar, siempre deli, calientito (y lleno en la hora de el almuerzo) recién abrieron el sótano y aún no me doy la vueltecita. Conozco la penumbra desde hace más de 10 años y siento que antes no la valore .
Descubrimos este lugar por accidente y se ha vuelto nuestro favorito de Saltillo. La comida es de muy buena calidad, la presentación de los platillos y el sabor muy rico. Se nota que saben lo que hacen.
Decidí ir a este lugar ya que traía antojo de comida mexicana, llegar fue fácil, pero al momento de entrar es un pasillo largo y no se veía movimiento, fue un poco confuso para mi, si no fue por las indicaciones de un cliente que el lugar y las mesas se encontraban más al fondo, para darme el menú fueron rápidos, la chica que tomó mi orden no es que no haya sido amable pero sin un Buenas tardes solo me dijo "ya esta listo para ordenar?" un tanto seca, de tomar pedí un agua de tamarindo, la cual si estaba buena y fueron rápidos para dármela, de comer pedí unas enchiladas Rojas, venían muy bien servidas, acompañadas de arroz y ensalada básica, la enchilada era pasada por chile rojo, la cual estaba buena, en cuanto al arroz aunque esponjado estaba, le faltaba un poquito de sabor. El lugar y la decoración en general estaban meh, siendo una casa antigua, da esa sensación del México de antes. Tenían buena selección de música a un volumen moderado que permitía platicar. En general la experiencia fue buena, un buen lugar y económico para disfrutar comida Mexicana. Lugar 4.5/5 Servicio 4/5 Comida 5/5
La verdad no me quejo en lo absoluto de la comida, es riquísima y dan porciones bastantes grandes pero el servicio es muyyyy lento, puede que tarden un poco con la comida pero pues hasta eso lo acepto por la porción quedan, el pozole increíble más la música que ponen de ambiente. Los meseros que me han tocado muy desganados, y no ponen atención a lao clientes por andar platicando con sus compañeros. Excelente experiencia para ir a comer rico y echar buen chisme con buena comida, precio accesibles y buena música 🙏🏻
El mejor lugar para comer , desayunar , y aún muy bien precio y excelente servicio.
I went to eat there with my girlfriend and honestly, the price, service, and atmosphere were all incredible. We were super satisfied with the food, and the price was truly what impressed me the most. I hope they keep it up for a long time. Congratulations!
I give it 5 stars because it's still an affordable place, but also because the food has a homemade flavor typical of northern Mexico, and the restaurant's conditions have improved a lot. I gave it 4 stars for the food because it's a shame they stopped serving the traditional Mexican coffee; its aroma was noticeable as soon as you walked in and brought back memories of my grandmother. Even so, it's worth visiting as a typical Saltillo restaurant. CQ🇲🇽🇪🇸
We went for the first time today and it's definitely going to become my favorite restaurant. I'm very particular about food and I was definitely surprised by how delicious it was. The quality-price ratio is also excellent, and the atmosphere is relaxed, although the space is quite small and a bit warm, but the food is worth it. I highly recommend it!! 😊 It's almost always a bit busy, so it's best to arrive early.
Relax
Very good place to eat! You can have gorditas, breakfast plates, caldos, sopas, etc.
Good food!
Deliciooooso
Amazing tasty and cheap Mexican food restaurant
The gorditas were delicious, as was the coffee. The service was very friendly and prompt. The only thing was that it felt a bit messy, as I had to sit next to a dirty fan.
Well, it's a traditional spot in Saltillo, right in the center! We went on Sunday before noon and it was packed. We waited 20 minutes for a table to become available. The food is homemade, the gorditas are delicious, the prices are reasonable, and it has a family atmosphere. The guy who served us was okay, not very attentive, but he didn't forget about us either, haha.
A very quiet place, delicious food with a homemade touch. Service could be improved. The atmosphere is warm, its architecture helps a lot, and the basement area is a unique experience (just that there's no cell phone service). Tickets per person $200-250. There's no waiting time for reservations (except for special dates).
The place is nice; I like going there for the corn gorditas. They have a variety of delicious stews, fresh orange juice, and flavored aguas frescas. The service is slow and unfriendly. I've been there before, and I can say the food is good, but the service isn't. The basement they opened is great; I loved the place.
Solía ser el lugar con las gorditas más deliciosas de Saltillo, volvimos hoy y quedamos 💔 ya son mini gorditas, ni 1 solo guiso estaba rico, las salsas insípidas. Que lástima que hayan perdido su sazón 😭
