Fonda La Mexicana

We have eaten there twice: once for dinner three years ago because we read it had the best mole poblano in Puebla, which proved to be true, and once two weeks ago for lunch. I had cholupas, and my wife had enchiladas with green pipian sauce, and they were both as good as we expected. This is a small unpretentious place, but the service and food are both outstanding.

Service was superb. Very attentive waiter eager to please and handsome as well. We ordered mole dishes so we could experience local cuisine.....no disappointment at all. We were given three samples to try and all of them were wonderful. Relaxing atmosphere with easy listening music....Would go back again.

Very rude staff. not dog friendly, not people friendly. in the morning, we went with our dog at first and the guy told us no dogs. so we put our dog back at the hotel, and went back to the restaurant.. and he still rejected...us because we HAD a dog. ridiculous. and when we asked why (all in spanish), he just laughed and waved us off. maybe because we looked chinese? don’t know. terrible and will never return.

I had the enchiladas tres moles and they were each packed with rich, deep flavour, such a great way to sample the three moles of Puebla. The staff were friendly and hospitable, and even gave me a tostada to sample on the house when I...was waiting. Definitely check this place out when you’re visiting Puebla to sample some of the local flavours!

I didn't really enjoy our meal here. The waiter was grumpy, to start, and really didn't seem to care. Husband and I both ordered dishes that came with coffee plus either fruit juice or fresh fruit. We were told that they did not have any...juice at all to offer and the only fruit they had was papaya, which I don't really care for. I told the waiter this and asked if there was another choice and he said no. So we ordered waters to drink. Next came a large bread basket with pieces of nice bread while we were waiting for food. The food came and was OK, but neither of us received the fruit (my husband didn't say anything, so he should at least have gotten it). When we received the bill, we were charged pesos for the bread which we had not ordered. So it's just a meh experience for us. I resent anyone charging me for something we didn't request.
