Lonely Planet review for Café de Tacuba

Before the band there was the restaurant. Way before. A fantasy of colored tiles, brass lamps and oil paintings, this mainstay has served antojitos (tortilla-based snacks like tacos and gorditas ) since 1912. The atmosphere is just right for a plate of pambazos (filled rolls fried in chili sauce) or tamales with hot chocolate.

    Bland food and bad service...do no go there except for pics

    huipil1 does not recommend this,

    We found the food to be bland (near tasteless), which is an insult to Mexican cuisine. The service staff was unmotivated, uncarring and short-changed us. With so many other places in the downtown area, please eat elsewhere and truly savour the Mexican culture. Out of all the restaurants that we patronized in Mexico City, including our hotel restaurant (Emporio Reforma), this was the only complete disappointment, so don't believe the hype. The tilework is nice, but not well maintained, so take pictures, but do not waste your time here expecting good food, much less service.
