Located at No. 15-B Morrow Street in the old town. Opened in 1933, it is considered Cuernavaca's oldest restaurant. It occupies a historic house with a traditional courtyard and garden, and Diego Rivera and Charles Lindbergh were once regulars. Traditional Mexican dishes include mole enchiladas, Yecapixtla cecina, white pozole, and spicy chilaquiles for breakfast. Walnut-stuffed chiles are a seasonal item, the clay-pot coffee is well reviewed, and a brunch buffet is served on Sundays. Average spend is about MXN 600 per person, and it suits breakfast or lunch better. It is a few minutes' walk from the Palace of Cortés. Closing times vary by source, between 18:00 and 22:30, so check before going in the evening.
