“ A wonderful surprise on the road through the beautiful Tehuacan-Cuicatlan biosphere reserve. Very inventive menu with classic fare, “traditional” ancient recipes and Chinese food! We had sesame chicken and noodles with shrimp and vegetables, both delicious. Owner/chef is a gem. Worth a detour! ”
“ Delicious food, beautiful building, lovely lady, went above and beyond to cook us what we wanted. We called her to make sure she was open before going. She was home but walked to her restaurant to open for us. At breakfast, we told her what we wanted for dinner. She went grocery shopping for the food items and when we came back after exploring the botanical garden, she made us her “special chicken”. Came back the next day to eat brunch and dinner again. ”
“ Such a wonderful place to eat home food in Tehuacan! I and my friend go there twice in a day because the restaurant host is very kind and the food is very delicious. I strongly recommend to eat there if anyone plans to visit at Tehuacan. ”
