Frommer's Review

One of the city's most famous restaurants, Café Tacuba dates from 1912 and boasts a handsome colonial-era atmosphere. Guests are welcomed into one of two long dining rooms, with brass lamps, dark oil paintings, and a large mural of nuns working in a kitchen. The menu is authentic Mexican with traditional dishes, including tamales, enchiladas, chiles rellenos, mole, and pozole. Wednesday through Sunday from 6pm until closing, a wonderful group of medieval-costumed singers entertain; their sound is like the melodious estudiantina groups of Guanajuato accompanied by mandolins and guitars. A trio plays romantic boleros on Mondays and Tuesdays from 8 to 10pm.
