What User likes about El Cardenal:
This place is no joke. The best meal we had in CDMX and that says alot. Our server Orlando was polite, helpful and so kind. The carnitas Oaxacenas were extraordinary as a starter and than we both had different Moles that were so complex, delicious and memorable all composed of over twenty different chiles and cacao. They brought us cheese and avocados that were so fresh and crisp. We did not want the meal to end but... View all feedback. What User doesn't like about El Cardenal:
The food is good but nothing extraordinary at least for breakfast same you can find somewhere else, and you have to wait a lot and service is slow. Lunch an dinner are really good with very good Mexican food. View all feedback.

Excelente lugar para ir a desayunar en familia. Ni se diga de sus conchas con nata, lo mejor para acompañar tu café.

If Rick Bayless says it’s good, I’ll try it. Ordered chilaquiles verde and pastries. Good breakfast in centro. Would recommend.

We stopped for lunch. This location is not as classy as Alameda branch. Samilar, but not the same, menu. Service was ok, but not great.
