"Ordering was an ordeal. Easy enough were the enchiladas verdes, made with a homemade green salsa, stuffed with chicken and topped with queso Chihuahua and crema. We would stuff ourselves with enchiladas verdes."

"We ate dinner at the nearby Café de Tacuba, a downtown institution whose food we found pedestrian until we tried the heavenly enchiladas de Tacuba, savory chicken enchiladas in an unusual spinach-cream sauce."

"I was recommended to come to Café de Tacuba for their famous enchiladas as a hangover cure, and it works! Major cheat meal though. Majorly decadent Enchiladas de Tacuba – a must order."

"And then there were the sweet tamales, of strawberry, pineapple or guava. They were fluffy and light as air, leaving us wanting more even when our bellies were absolutely ready to burst."

American Automobile Association

"Originally the palace of royalty, the café features hand-carved stone columns, hand-painted tiles and frescoes, making this place tremendously popular with tourists. The menu offers a variety of traditional Mexican dishes; the Oaxacan tamale is a treat."

"I tried the tamales verdes at Cafe Tacuba, and my world changed a little. Just the right balance of fluffy and spicy and tart – I never order anything else. In fact, I go to Cafe Tacuba for breakfast specifically for the tamales – not for the ambiance, not for the sweet bread, and not for the coffee."

Carole Terwilliger Meyers

"The tortilla soup is particularly delicious."
