“ I highly recommend coming here for breakfast. The prices are reasonable and the view is great! We took many pictures on the balcony area. When you get to the building you can walk down the hall and you will see an elevator on the right side. Go up the elevator and you will get to the restaurant. The bathrooms are to the right of the elevator (very clean and for multiple people) and to the left you'll enter the restaurant. The staff is very polite and professional. The menu has many delicious options for foods and drinks. We loved the food, they even brought us a plate of fresh fruits to start off. I accidentally spilled my drink but the staff were quick to help and clean it up. If you can't find the restaurant there should be a person outside of the building holding a menu with the restaurants name on it. Tell the person you want to eat here and they will guide you all the way up to the restaurant. When you're done you shouldn't have an issue finding your way out. This restaurant also has a lot of history, it's been in the area for a very long time. The food is delicious and filling. The beverages are super refreshing. Definitely try it ”

“ Cocina Central – A Quiet Zocalo Surprise We found this cafe by chance while walking near Zocalo—and it was a total hidden gem. Surprisingly quiet, with kind service and a calm vibe. The Mexican omelette was fresh, and they were still serving breakfast at 1pm, which made our teen really happy. Simple, delicious, and just the kind of peaceful break we didn’t know we needed. ”
“ Alex gave us great service. Mezcalito Jamaica was delicious and a taste of Mexico. Food exceeded expectations. Prices were not astronomical. Highly recommended. ”
“ When it's not crowded, get a table next to the windows f power a great view of the square while you eat. The staff are very friendly and attentive, and food came at a good pace. The beverages and drinks are good and are at a reasonable price. I had the rib eye with fries and my partner had jumbo shrimp. The restaurant is very clean and modern, so I felt very comfortable eating here, without worrying about the cleanliness of the place/food. I definitely recommend eating here, especially for the view. ”
