El sazón del Cardenal es de destacarse. Recomiendo ampliamente. Toda su carta. Delicioso. Calidad y precio muy equilibrada. Amo ir a desayunar o comer.

Esta es una parada obligada si acudes al centro histórico, tiene variedad de platos de cocina mexicana y los sabores son muy buenos. Tuve que esperar alrededor de 40 minutos para que me asignaran mesa, pero la espera vale la pena. Quizá la única parte que no me gustó tanto es que encuentro el lugar un tanto ruidoso, sin embargo la comida vale mucho la pena.
