Restaurants near Mandalas Hostel

We sat in the main salon in sight of the bar under the towering foyer with its interesting light fitting and we appreciated the colorful decor. Drinks and food were reasonably priced - M$140 for spritz and M$160-200 for glass of wine - tho’ wine pours here are not too generous. Mole served with chips was amazing and the choux amuse bouche a nice touch. I had the octopus in poblano sauce - octopus was perfectly cooked although not grilled like U.S. so may not be best choice if you don’t like the membrane feel on the outside, but perhaps best cooked octopus I have ever had - appreciated the few small potatoes - veg not a big thing here. My wife had chicken breast - turned out to be bone-in thigh with mole and rice. Chicken was again very well cooked and came with a very generous portion of fantastic mole.

This place is where the fisrt chile en nogada was made. It’s a must visit if you’re in Puebla. The murals are about the important people from Puebla. The yolixpa digestive at the end was amazing! The Mexican wine was delicious!! Highly recommended.

We really have a great time wine person was excellent she did a great referral outstanding service by her and the server !!! We will definitely come back food amazing

We love this restaurant , awe’ve been there a few times in CDMX, without any issues. My experience in the Puebla location was not great regarding the service. We ask multiple time for mineral waters and tortillas; We had left overs on two dishes, I asked our waiter to put them in a to go container but he trow it out, a manager came to say sorry and offered drinks to us.
