Excellent to enjoy with the family! It is also a very good option for a work meeting or with friends, since the atmosphere is very calm. They have treated us very well since our arrival, with exquisite dishes.

A small place, but with enough space, truly one of the best places, you feel the warmth in addition to very rich dishes with handmade black tortillas, natural fruit water and affordable prices, I highly, highly, highly recommend it.

100% recommended. The food is delicious, the portions are very good, fair prices. The place is small, but cozy, always very clean, especially highlighting the service offered by its waiters. Always attentive, fast and very friendly. My #1 option for breakfast with the family. I don't remember if they already accept card payments. But it's the only thing they need. And some games for children.

I was surprised by the speed-quality ratio, as it's hard to find both that maintain such a high level. The service was exceptional with each and every one of the staff. I find it affordable, and I would definitely like to return when I visit your beautiful land again.

The mushroom soup deserves my recognition. It has a delicate and comforting flavor, with fresh ingredients that stand out in every spoonful. The seasoning for me was almost perfect. It is the ideal accompaniment to any meal. On the other hand, the barbecue did not surprise me, the different proteins included in the dish were well cooked, for my taste in particular the nopales and onion probably needed a little more cooking, but nothing to worry about. The service is attentive and friendly, making the experience comfortable and enjoyable.

A JEWEL OF TULANCINGO Today we visited Restaurante El Caballito and the experience was excellent from start to finish . We ordered a molcajete, eggs in mora sauce with nopales, Swiss enchiladas and enmoladas with flank steak... everything was delicious! You can see the care in the preparation and the quality ingredients . The service was exceptional: the waiter was super friendly, attentive and always making sure we didn't miss anything . And as a bonus... the tortillas are handmade! that gives a homemade and delicious touch to everything. Definitely a place we will return to. Highly recommended!
