By the same owners of the excellent Iguanas Green’s in Cuernavaca, this is another beautifully decorated restaurant where I highly recommend the chicken with almond and chocolate sauce, and their delicious drinks and coffee. Everything at very affordable prices. The staff is so nice and the ambience so pleasant mixing food and art that this is a place where you want to spend hours.

We have eaten here in the past but stopped going because the service was so poor. We decided to give it another try and while the service wasn’t much better, the food was just short of awful. We arrived too early for lunch and I decided to have chicken enchiladas, hubby had arrancheras. We asked if the sauce was really spicy and told the waiter we didn’t like things really hot so no chili, please. Someone needs to tell the cook that “ not spicy” does not mean NO SPICES! I literally could have taken a jar of pasta sauce from the store and it would have tasted better. It literally was some plain tomato sauce. I’m not even sure there was salt! We were offered nothing else. No onions, no pico de gallon, no bread, no salad, nothing! The waiter never returned, not that it would have mattered. I also don’t understand why there were several fans in the front dining room ( where there are windows) but none in the back where it was quite stuffy. At least the restroom was clean! We probably won’t be back for a long time.

The place is quirky decorated, a messy mix of things from various cultures. The food is good (better than iguanas and Emiliano's, brother restaurants and more expensive too) The service is regular. They acept credit and debit cards. The place doesn't have access to wheelchair, no parking.
