It is a "Turist trap" the restaurant has soaring prices and the quality of the food is horrible. Nothing tastes right, part of the order arrived cold or unfinished. In the service the waiters and their assistants do what they can but have no training. And the worst part is that once you intend to invoice on their portal, it turns out not to work; it is impossible to get the invoice. In short the experience is to help own and strangers... and in tourist area is really expensive of Mexico abusive and without interest in its visitors.
Gracias por compartir su experiencia. Lamentamos que su visita al restaurante dentro del Bazar de Sábado en San Ángel no haya sido satisfactoria. Durante el recorrido se brinda tiempo libre para que cada visitante explore y elija dónde consumir dentro del bazar, el cual reúne diversos establecimientos independientes. Aun así, valoramos mucho sus comentarios y los tomaremos en cuenta para el seguimiento con los proveedores de la zona, así como para orientar mejor a futuros visitantes. Agradecemos su retroalimentación y quedamos a sus órdenes.

The day started off meeting our lovely, knowledgeable and funny guide Sergio. We visited some of the oldest and most historical neighborhoods in all of Latin America, stopped for the *best tacos ever* in a local market before exploring the San Angel bazaar and then the Convent of Carmen. At every step, Sergio was there to give us fascinating insight or crack a joke. By the end of the day, we were sad to say goodbye. This itinerary is perhaps a little bit off the beaten path compared to the headline attractions of CDMX but it was a lovely, relaxing, informative change of pace. Highly recommended.
