My favorite restaurant and food in all of Puebla. The services was phenomenal. The bartender Daniela was not only friendly, kind, and knowledgeable, but she makes the best drinks in town! We ended up ordering one of each from the menu!! ???? Elliott, the waiter was an amazing conversationalist as was the other waiter whose name is escaping my mind. We had the mole, the chalupas, and the octopus entrées and they were all delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant is very traditionally Mexican but mixed with modern, chic hipster vibes.
We also met the head chef who introduced herself and apologized for having run out of octopus and offered the crab as an alternative. The presentation of the food, the explanation of where the dishes originated from, and the culinary pedigree of the dishes is truly unbeatable. The food was as authentically Mexican as it gets. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in Puebla and recommending this place to friends who visit.
Afterwards, we we’re craving churros and one of the staff members, Elliott, offered to walk us to a local churro joint so we wouldn’t get lost late at night. This was truly one of the best culinary experiences we’ve had in Mexico. Thank you Elliott, Daniela, the head chef and everyone at Maíz Prieto. Mil gracias!!
