"La Cueva is popular with Mexicans and tourists alike and for good reason. The food is fresh and tasty and it has a lovely setting in a lush garden. One of our favourite dishes was molletes, a comforting dish of melted cheese and beans on bread served with salsa."

Recommendations

"La Cueva del Chango is a very special place, because almost everything is homemade, even tortillas are “hechas en casa.” If you’re looking for something less spicy, you have to try the molletes, a homemade wheat bread with refried beans and cheese gratin with pico de gallo salsa on top (chopped tomatoes, onion and jalapeno chilli)."

"The chilaquiles (corn tortillas cut into quarters) with xatic chili make a superb breakfast."
"If you haven’t had this Mexican dish before you need to try it. It isn’t the prettiest, but the flavor is unbeatable and will trump a plate of huevos rancheros anyday."
"Chips, pico de gallo salsa and guacamole are - of course - a must."
"You can’t go wrong with any one of their breakfast mains. Mollete is a dish well worth trying."
"In case croissants didn’t get your heart racing, La Cueva del Chango definitely will. Imagine a restaurant inside of a jungle with amazing Mexican breakfasts and that’s basically La Cueva. They have one of the best molletes."
"The cheesy and very filling molletes were delicious as it reminded me of a hearty grilled cheese but with the added freshness of the pico de gallo sauce. Big chunks of avocados went hand in hand with the oozing molletes."
"One of the best places to get an authentic and delicious Mexican breakfast. Enjoy chilaquiles."
"Very reminiscent to nachos, the chilaquiles with chicken drowning in the cascabel chili sauce (in case you are wondering it wasn’t spicy) was both flavorful and plentiful."
