The 50 best places to go out in Puebla

This library is basically just the one room but it's a beautiful room. When you leave this room, turn left because there is an exhibition that you can enter with your library ticket which shows the 20 most influential books housed in this library in honor of the 25 years the library has been a UNESCO world heritage.

This review is after a 2nd visit to Biblioteca Palafoxiana. Since our first visit to just the library, they have added an amazing exposición to the library. Unclear if all or part of this is permanent, but i certainly hope it is permanent so many more can continue to experience this amazing museum. This collection of literary works was truly AMAZING. The added expo highlights a portion of this incredible, now antique book collection featuring very early publications of Cervantes, Copernicus, Newton and more. There is also a separate section about the man himself, Palafox. This place is a must see. If you are real into this kind of stuff, plan on 1.5 hours to tour the library and full exhibition (if its still there).

Biblioteca Palafoxiana is absolutely worth a visit. The current exhibition adds a really interesting layer to the experience (note that all descriptions are in Spanish), but, the library itself is amazing — floor-to-ceiling shelves packed with very old books, some dating back centuries. You don’t need a tour but it would be helpful to explain some facts - or you can do your research beforehand. You can buy tickets when you arrive. It’s a beautiful place that makes you appreciate the history and knowledge preserved here.

This was a beautiful place to visit. The tour itself is maybe 15 minutes. The docents were amazing. They were kind and answered all our questions. I enjoyed seeing how well they took care of the books and the building. It really demonstrates how much they appreciate their history. I would absolutely recommend to take a visit here.

Interesting old library with historical significance. Although it's described as the first public library in the Americas accessible to anyone who wished to study, remember that at those times there was racial segregation and only white spiniards could live in the city of Puebla.

This library is very picturesque, but that's about it. You have to pay a fee to enter, and you cannot touch anything. You also can't go upstairs.

Looks good from outside, didn't go in... I feel libraries should not charge to go in. Cool building.

The Zócalo in Puebla is truly the heart of the city and a must-visit destination for anyone exploring this vibrant colonial city. As one of Mexico’s most beautiful and historic plazas, it offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and lively atmosphere. The square is surrounded by stunning colonial architecture, with colorful buildings and ornate facades that reflect Puebla’s rich heritage. The cathedral, with its impressive baroque design, dominates the skyline and adds to the majestic ambiance of the plaza. During the day, the Zócalo buzzes with activity—locals and tourists alike gather to relax, enjoy street performances, or sip coffee at nearby cafes. At night, the area transforms with beautifully lit buildings, creating a romantic and picturesque setting. The surrounding streets are lined with shops, markets, and restaurants offering delicious local cuisine, including Puebla’s famous mole poblano. It’s a great place to soak in the local culture, do some shopping, or simply people-watch. Overall, the Zócalo in Puebla is a vibrant, historic, and charming place that captures the essence of the city. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or just soaking up the lively atmosphere, it’s an experience not to be missed.

Puebla es a historic place and have an amazing cultural history. You can find nice place to eat and buy some gifts.

Fantastic decorations for Dia de Los Muertos all over this Zocalo. I had a great time walking around and taking photos of everything. It was super colorful, very beautiful, and so much fun to be had. The architecture is amazing and the sights and people made my heart sing.

3rd largest city in Mexico and absolutely beautiful!!! Add this to your list if you're visiting Mexico City. Make sure to go to the library and thr church in Centro. We took a tour here and it was excellent. Really enjoyed learning about tye history of the city and the architecture.

This place is amazing. I went for Día de los Muertos and it was such an impressive time there. Everything was amazing. Definitely felt safe even with so many crowds. It was awesome seeing the historic architecture and the preservation of the culture. Saw all types of people from Mexico and around the world. Definitely recommend and I will be going back again!

Alot to see and do here ! Food, stores, walking, browsing,tours, museums, people watch, ZumBa, activities.. something always happening. - Can't fly drones here without a permit

Had a wonderful walk around this area and went inside the church. So beautiful.

Centrally located near the Puebla historic center.Had a great experience eating here. There are plenty of options for everyone. Highly recommend the Mole options which include your choice of Mole and protein. Great appetizer and drink options. Service was very good and attentive.

Beautiful restaurant with great and delicious food. Very attentive service provided by Edgar who explained the dishes and suggested some amazing mezcal. We even bought a bottle after lunch. I ordered lamb meatballs in green salsa with black beans and red rice. We felt like royalty!

This is the quintessential Mexican restaurant. It serves traditional food from the state of puebla, focusing mainly on moles and antojos. I tried cemitas, guacamole and chalupas for starters. They were all great. For my main I had chicken with a mole sauce, which came with rice and beans. Desserts were also quite good: cremita and a meringue. The place is a must if you’re visiting Puebla.

Beautiful ambiance and exquisite menu. Had a wonderful (vegetarian!) chile en nogado, as it was in season. One of the murals in the patio is a collection of idiomatic expressions, visually represented. The mesero explained the whole painting to us - definitely ask, it's very interesting!

Food was amazing, service was great, wait staff was attentive. Restaurant was beautifully decorated

Superb food and presentation. I can't fault it. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. We had the mole sampler with duck and two different soups, both of which were excellent. Drinks were perfect, beautiful tableware, excellent service. Highly recommended

Traditional restaurant in Puebla in an elegant venue with a nice patio. Great service

This was a great place to buy souvenirs. I was able to find postcards, trinkets, pottery, etc. I was with a group of 5 and my friends bought ponchos, wraps, vases, jewelry, beautiful rosaries, etc. there was something for everyone. For those who are there with shoppers but are not shoppers themselves, there were plenty of benches to sit on throughout the area, plenty of places to get snacks, and bathrooms available to use for a few pesos.

If you are looking for a place to find some traditional Mexican trinkets-gifts, this is your area to look. They are open 7 days a week for a significant number of hours (check your Google listing for up to date times... and days ... JIC). This market is located northeast of the zocalo , just a few blocks north of Los Sapos. At times too you can find similar types of merchants in - near the Los Sapos area (not in the Pariian Market) selling similar items. Some , but maybe not all, merchants might be somewhat flexible and willing to haggle a bit on prices. Generally, proprietors are friendly, helpful, and interested in working with you to make the sale :-)

Very nice little open air market. Lots of varied trinkets and crafts. Picturesque if you know what I mean.

This place a traditional tourist place where you will find all traditional souvenir from puebla.

It's very colorful and attention drawing with colorful flags and a large sun mural painted on the ground. There are lots of stalls with a variety of items for sale. It's a great spot to buy souvenirs.

A place with many shops, lots of handicrafts and Mexican souvenirs; many people visit the area. Good prices and friendly people.

This is a very pleasant place to spend a few hours. A lot of the little shops are just selling the standard trinkets. I even found one that was selling the sweater I was wearing that I bought in Quito, Ecuador. But I also found some very unique shops like the Talavera shop that's sells talavera from their fabrica. And if you stroll on down to the artist part, there are some really interesting paintings. Then, of course, there's the Mole Poblano to sample ... and buy to take home.

All the family loved this place! So cool how close you can get to the animals 😂 so many nice places to take pics. And the restrooms are very clean. Lots of different places to eat. Highly recommend if you are visiting puebla with the kids!!

I was impressed! My first Safari in life! It was amazing to see different animals so close 🐘 Such a beautiful family experience! Highly recommend 🌟 The only problem can be lots of visitors, so 🚗 cars drive very slowly and under the sun 🌞 it can be a tricky time with kids in a car! So I would choose time to enter wisely. Maybe not weekends if you have opportunity! Area with Lions is just Breathtaking! 🧡🦁

A super cool drive thru zoo. After you drive thru all the way, there is a walking experience where u get to see even more animals and insects. Such a cool experience for the kids. The animals looked very healthy and well taken care of. Such a delightful place, will come back!

Amazing, better than expected. The animals seem to be better treated that in most zoos and this haves a nice concept that makes it different than a normal zoo. Loved the Cows with gigantic horns

Such a phenomenal experience! I 10/10 recommend if you’re visiting to make this place a stop!

One of the best experiences ever. Must do it while near puebla

Go on a Monday, bring your own car and take as much time as you need driving through to see the animals. Staff are accommodating and understanding, not strict about poking your head out of sunroofs.

This is a gorgeous colonial church with many beautiful paintings and statues both inside and outside. It is massive, like the ones you can find in Europe. I was fortunate to witness the conclusion of a mass where an elderly couple was renewing their vows. A restaurant across the street offers lovely views of the church.

Amazing place, beautiful and huge, a lot of restaurants around.

This is one of the most important buildings in the historic center of Puebla declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is the first large church that under fine architectural designs

This is an absolutely beautiful cathedral. It's free to visit and is fascinating inside and out. The twin bell towers and fine are fantastic architectural structures. But the design of the inside is fascinating. Near the main entrance it splits into two aisles with the organ in between, a big organ. Beyond that is the high altar with columns are statuary. But be sure to keep walking beyond the high altar. At the far end from the main doors is the resplendent Altar of the Kings.

Wheelchair accessible entrance/exit, but no restrooms here. FREE. Absolutely beautiful cathedral in Puebla. It's one of my favorites! It is one of the first temples of the Americas. The inside is covered in gold, so it is a beautiful site to see, welcome to all people. No flash photos or flash videos allowed. It is open on rainy days and shine! It has beautiful paintings and art on the walls, too. It is located in the town center and surrounded by many shops and restaurants.

A beautiful 16th century church in the historic centre of Puebla is worth visiting. It’s located in a place surrounded by by happening market place but stands tall n beautiful.

The Catedral de Puebla, a stunning example of Spanish colonial architecture, is one of Mexico’s most iconic landmarks. Located in the heart of Puebla’s historic center, this 16th-century cathedral impresses with its grand façade, towering bell towers, and beautifully detailed interior. Visitors are captivated by its ornate altars, intricate stained glass, and the impressive main altar designed by Manuel Tolsá. A visit to the Catedral de Puebla is both a spiritual and architectural experience, offering a glimpse into the city’s rich history and artistry.

Easy entry, nice view. There was a „radio“ in the capsule and the content was a bit annoying because it was just advertising. Some information about Puebla would have been nicer.

It seems new and very well maintained. . it is a very large Ferris wheel .. if I remember right it was 80 pesos a person they had some deluxe style seats for like vip people that were like 800 for 6 people . There was absolutely no one else on it when we went so there was no line and no waiting .. pretty good view .. it goes very very slow takes probably 10 or 15 minutes to go around .. you can see the majority of the city from the top .. I would pay to ride it again for sure.. I don't normally give 5 stars I am fairly conservative with them but this was worth 5 stars I think..

Amazing views! VIP basket has a glass bottom and very comfortable seats. View from the top is amazing, if you can try to catch the sunset! Totally worth visiting!

The view is good. But we went when all the cars were empty and yet they crammed everyone into one cabin... just so they can sell their vip tickets. I can understand this policy during busy times, but not when the wheel is empty. The seller didn't explain this policy when I was in the ticket booth.

Smooth experience, beautiful view of the city, and the ferris wheel isn't super fast, so you can take your pictures and videos but also soak in the view all at the same time. Staff were super nice, and the cost is only 80 pesos!!!

Very nice place, to affordable very fun

If you can go with friends the experience could be better, if you are going alone you're gonna share the cabin with random people.

Very impressive collection on artifacts. Definitely worth a visit. The only reason I didn't give it 5 star is that none of the exhibits have any English explanation. Everything is in Spanish only. If they want to become a world class museum they have to add English.

Very interesting collection. Nice architecture on top. Nice view over the city from museum café.

A must visit if you’re in Puebla. The museum houses a great collection of art from pre-colonial to contemporary, all well-curated and sympathetically presented. On the top floor there was a cafe. I took some amazing photos here.

Free entry on Sundays. Terrace/ rooftop cafe is always free to go up. It's one of my favourite museums in Mexico so far! I always had hard time understanding the art and history of Mexico because I never learned its history. Museo Amparo explains from terminology of historic era to details of culture, people, agriculture, art and so on in easy and simple ways! (Mostly in Spanish, I used google translator). I learned so much today. The staff there are 10/10 too. Very professional and friendly. They offer a clay making class for free, there's schedule for it. I enjoyed contemporary art sections as well. Terrace area is good for afternoon coffee or study. It's a must visit if you're in Puebla.

Beautiful museum. When I came, it was featuring alot of historic Mexican arts. Lots of different formats and art styles from paintings, sculptures, to video as well. Also some beautiful rest spaces here. Overall, really nice.

Creepy!! If you can get past the workers, this could be an amazing experience. Unfortunately, the people who work there are just creepy, unsettling, even disgusting. They follow you around, staring at you, completely ruining the experience and making it hard to enjoy or appreciate the art. Signage is either confusing or nonexistent, and the staff constantly direct you and hover over you, making everything more uncomfortable. What should have been an inspiring visit turned into a terrible, distracting mess. It was extremely uncomfortable. They seem to get people liquored up in the café, and those guests add to the chaos. One woman, clearly drunk, walked right in front of us and started texting on her phone, completely blocking our view. Meanwhile, the guards chose to follow a father and his daughter, us, who were simply trying to enjoy the art, as if we were criminals. They don’t intervene when people are actually being disruptive, and they ignore kids making out in corners of the museum. If you can get past the creepy staff, most of whom weren’t friendly or welcoming, the space itself is extremely well curated. Art and exhibits are spread throughout the museum, and many were genuinely captivating. We saw one Diego Rivera piece. Some of the modern art was, as expected, out there, not all of it great, but there was a decent amount of English-language information available, which helped. This could have been an amazing visit, but discussing it afterward, we all agreed: the behavior of the staff destroyed it. One guy in particular stood out, clearly a frustrated police academy dropout. He followed us into a small room with one chair and a film playing, then stood in front of us and stared the entire time. Then he followed us into the next room and continued staring. I even took a photo of him. This guy needs to find another job. If you’re hoping to take part in one of their art classes, be aware you have to sign up at the ticket booth, not that it’s clearly explained anywhere. I would love to recommend this place for the art and architecture, but I can’t. Any enjoyment is going to be destroyed by the creepy, overbearing staff. Go somewhere people actually want you to be, where you’re appreciated as a guest. You won’t find that here. Unless you’re willing to endure a very uncomfortable experience just to see some interesting exhibits, you’re better off going elsewhere. The day we went we were not charged because they had a special exhibit. The best part about coming here is it is down the street from an amazing churro shop. Two blocks up the street when you walk out to the right!

Amazing musuem and absolutely worth a visit while in Puebla. It has a mixed collection of mesoamerican and modern Mexican exhibitions.

We came here thanks to the advice of some poblanos. This was really a great experience of the topical Puebla gastronomy at a decent price. We tested several dishes and it was awesome I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Puebla to make a stop at that market for the true and authentic food of Puebla

When visiting Puebla, this spot is definitely in our "place to eat" list. The Cemitas from Rebecca Quintero are the best!!! I first eat here when Mrs. Quintero was alive and working together as a family business but they were located in the market on the other side of the street.

This place have some of the best Cemitas in town. I’m definitely going back.

Took an Uber just to try Rebeca Quintera's cemita sandwiches, and they were 100% worth it. One of the best meals we've had in Mexico.

One of the best places to have a typical cemita of Puebla en el restaurant Cemitas Rebeca Quintero. You must try the pork or the beef milanesa cemita. It's a most if you visit Puebla.

Went there for breakfast in search of the famous Cemita. This market hosts tens of local vendors offering a great variety of food. We are at Cemitas Alex and we got an awesome Cemita with coffee and Hibiscus water for less than $5 . Great Mercado to eat clean , high quality and low price food

I just got to say this , if you are hungry Stop by here, shop around you won't be disappointed. This Mercado de Sabores has little restaurants inside and if you come with a party up to 10 or 12 they will accommodate you at the spot. For big gatherings I will recommend to stop by in advance. If you visit Puebla Stop by this Mercado de Sabores it's near Downtown , by curious and ask everything before you order , you won't be disappointed.

This place is a Puebla staple. Don’t bother with other shots, just get the Pasita. Even as someone who doesn’t like raisins, this shot was still the best. The cheese is delicious, and the perfect complement. The service is friendly and accommodating as well.

A true icon in Puebla since the last century, this beloved spot boasts an exceptional selection of sweet wines and artisanal liqueurs. Every shot tells a story—rich, vibrant, and unforgettable.

Stopped in for a couple of their famous shots ! I forgot the man's name but he was GREAT .... Sat around and talked with him for a while. Definitely try the pasita shot and the Rompope shots.

This place is so cool! It is like being in Mexico during the cowboy days. Their alcohol shots are unique and delicious. Try everyone and your day will be so beautiful!

Famous for their "Pasita" shot. Did not disappoint. Tried a variety of shots and all of them were delicious. Ended up buying a couple bottles to go. Super friendly owner who gave us the history of this family owned business.

Nice little place in the historic center of Puebla. It is pretty small and seats no more than 15 people. Friendly service and unique shot-sized, mostly sweet, drinks. La pasita, i. e., Raisin liquor with cheese and a raisin inside is the clear star. There is a limit on how much they'll serve you per hour. No kitchen, but there is a small menu if items that they can whip up behind the bar.

Serious contender for best bar in the world (and I say that having been to bars in Germany, Brussels, Paris, Thailand, Japan, USA, Singapore, Belize and Amsterdam as well as other countries. La Pasita is highly original and has a truly unique and colorful history spanning over 100 years. If you are in Puebla this is the most essential place you must visit after the Cathedral.

It was a great experience, unfortunately the tunnels are now closed to the public. But the museum as well as the visit to the Patio de la acústica with all the exposed excavations are well worth the visit.

The access tunnel leading underneath the temples was closed. Nobody knows if they will ever reopen. Still the visit yo the world's largest temple still amazes. A must-see and visit. There is an on site musem and another near entrance to the ruins. Recommend both.

Big pre-Columbian pyramid (of which you don't see much, looks like a hill) with a yellow church on top, all of them free of charge. The view was nice but would have been amazing is it wasn't for the smog hanging around everywhere.

Very disappointing. Tunnels have been closed since covid apparently. You climb the pyramid just to find another church on top. The best thing about it is the view from the top. The ruins themselves are not worth paying admission to. You can see them as you are walking down the pyramid. You can go stand in a big field with no shade and pay admission but I think it's a waste of money. We took the bus from Puebla which was 10 pesos. Cholula is worth a visit for a few hours but that's about it.

Interesting to compare to other sites, like Mont Alban. Not as impressive, but interesting. Worth visiting for context.

Gorgeous, short steep climb. Incredible view. It's unfortunate that a cathedral spoils this historic monument, and the usual hawkers selling religious baubles are everywhere, but the Pyramid and the nearby ruins are spectacular.

Ready to walk hope so but is worth it loved

There are churches, and then there are sanctuaries that glimmer — this is one of them. Hay iglesias, y luego hay santuarios que resplandecen — este es uno de esos. I always carry my faith with me wherever I travel, and La Capilla del Rosario in Puebla felt like coming home to reverence. This golden chapel is hidden within the Templo de Santo Domingo, yet once you step inside, the light, the gold, the art — it commands your full attention and your deepest prayer. Built between 1650 and 1690, it was the first chapel in Mexico dedicated exclusively to Our Lady of the Rosary.  Because of its stunning gilded interior, the chapel has long been spoken of as the “Casa Dorada” — often called Puebla’s Eighth Wonder of the World.  Every wall, every arch, every dome is adorned with gold leaf reliefs, cherubs, angels, vegetal motifs, aquatic imagery (fish, shells, waves) — a design that seems to whisper of sea and spirit.  Below the paintings depicting the life of Mary, you’ll see Talavera tilework — each tile a bead in a giant rosary, framed by angels’ heads.  At the heart of the chapel stands a statue of the Virgin of the Rosary, sheltered under a golden baldachin (ciprés), with Saint Dominic and Archangel Gabriel above — a vertical direction of prayer, faith, and intercession.  Tradition holds that the Virgin of the Rosary also holds a special place in the hearts of mariners — the protector of those at sea. She is prayed to for guidance and safe passage over water — a fitting devotion in this chapel that evokes ocean motifs and divine presence. If you visit Puebla, don’t rush past this gem. Find a quiet moment inside, let the gold light wash over you, and whisper your prayers. It’s not only a monument of art; it’s a place where faith, history, and divine mystery meet. Hay iglesias, y luego hay santuarios que resplandecen — este es uno de esos. Michelle

Gorgeous 😍 not tickets necessary. Just tip the guide.

It's an amazing church to visit. The Rosario chapel is perhaps one of the best examples of the Mexican baroque period. It's well restored and well kept. Worth your visit when in Puebla

Free admission to enter the church. It looks beautiful from the outside and must be from the inside. It is located quite central and easy to find by walking. Entrance accessible for wheelchairs.

A sumptuous chapel located inside the Church of Santo Domingo. You may pay 20 pesos for entry and its money well spent. There is always a line to see the pace because they are only allowing so many people at a time. Tee church is nice but the chapel is over the top, colonial baroque, with gold everywhere. Most impressive.

Magnificent, a must see, I'm no expert but its interior is so ornate it seems as much rococo as baroque. Either way, wow it is gorgeous.

Absolutely gorgeous! The whole church has an amazing decoration. You gotta be there to fully appreciate every detail

This was our first time to Puebla and we decided to try this place out. First of all, it’s right in front of the church in the center of the city. The restaurant is super clean, well attended and the personnel that work there are very nice. When you walk in, you see the cooks cooking the meals. Pro tip: Ask to sit upstairs where you can people watch and take awesome photos of the church. The food is delicious. Try the Mole poblano. It’s a perfect taste. Our servers name was Erick and he was energetic, patient, respectful and attentive. He was not pushy like some servers are. I 100% recommend eating at this place. We had a group of 10 people adults and kids. The atmosphere was perfect and the food was great!

Loved the food, loved the atmosphere. And what a location, too. Right across the street from the church. Our table was next to a window at the front, so we had that beautiful view. And with the weather being pleasant that evening, all windows were open, which made you feel even closer. Highly recommend.

Absolutely loved it! Delicious! I would come back. The place is gorgeous and has great views of the Cathedral too. Try the Mole Poblano.

Naomi was so lovely and spoke English which was so helpful! The food was delicious, definitely be back to have more Chalupas!!

The young Team gave us a warm welcome, they were patient with guests, which spanish is really bad. But it works and we had fun while our visit. We've ordered 5 Enchiladas con Pollo with each Mole they offer - and the Manchamanteles con Pollo. Now I know which Mole is , respective are, my favorites. I won't let you know, go there and try on your own. The dessert was pay de Limon and panque de elote, both were excellent. The menue offers you many varieties to mix the flavours they offer, which is great in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this place. Ps: Yes, I mix cake with Stout Beer...yummy

Good food, good service, great view! I’ve come here three times during my time here in Puebla.

I must highlight the food is tasty. We enjoyed the dinner. Prices are a bit high. However, it's worth due to view from the first floor and the food. There was a minor detail. The waiters expect you to pay a big tip. It made our end of the dinner a bit soured.

This museum was amazing, architecturally. The exhibits were ok but I did appreciate the many video installations they had. What was quite bothersome was that the flow within the museum was not clear to anyone and the guards had to keep telling everyone “not that way”, “this way please”, or “that’s an emergency door, please don’t open it”. Also, I really enjoy drawing when in museums. Unfortunately, I was told I couldn’t bring my notebook in. I understand bags not being allowed. But not allowing a lone notebook was a surprise. All in all absolutely worth going on free Sundays to see the magnificent architecture and adjacent park.

The museum is great and I would not miss it if you have the time. Staff is anything but friendly. They are not there to guide or help but to scold you constantly. Be aware there are not guides on weekends and they seem Bothered when we ask because we did not know

What a wonderful architecture! Toyo Ito is a great master and did an amazing job in Puebla 🙏🏻

Fantastic beautiful museum itself, interesting exposition! Thank you, we didn't see anything cool like that in another places in Mexico! Great job 👍

I absolutely loved this museum. If you’re visiting Puebla it is a must see, particularly given one of the exhibitions explains beautifully how the city was built and the architectural baroque influences on the building in the centre of town.

Discover the stunning Museo Internacional del Barroco in Puebla, a masterpiece of contemporary architecture celebrating the elegance of Baroque art. This world-class museum blends dramatic design with immersive storytelling across its permanent collections. Currently, don’t miss the captivating Salvador Dalí exhibition, showcasing surreal works that reveal the genius of his imagination. A must-see experience that bridges centuries of artistic brilliance in one unforgettable visit.

The museum is architecturally world class. Its site includes a large park and the building is surrounded by ponds, which are lovely. I would say the collection is modest, but the presentations are enhanced by multiple screen projections.

The food was amazing. I had the beef tongue tacos and el mole poblano with chicken. Both amazingly delicious. The homemade tortilla chips, bread and dips were all very yummy too. The only thing I didn’t like was the music. It was just some kind of really tacky dance tracks on repeat. It really wasn’t necessary. Service ok. Although they had an English menu, the waiters didn’t really speak English. But the food was excellent so I’d recommend it.

If you're the type of person who likes mole, this restaurant is for you. They have different types of it and each dish is incorporated with it. I'm not the biggest fan of mole but I liked some of the dishes we had especially the lechon, the mole there was green and had a lighter taste compared to the others. They also have plenty of awards so I believe that proves a lot already. It's like a fine dining place but they don't have ac. The servers are very attentive and really worth the tip.

A must if you visit Puebla!! Food exquisite! Service A+! And it's such a beautiful place.

The space is beautiful and the service was excellent. The food tasted more like traditional home cooking. We tried the lechon and pork ribs with different moles. The mole poblano was good. Did not like the tres leches cake at all.

This is a little gem in Puebla. We visited on a Sunday evening after cocktails at Senonrita Caruso Centro. Augurio has a terrific menu and across appetizers, main course and dessert food was consistently good. We enjoyed Caldo de Habas, un Tamal y Chiles en Nogada. Our server allowed us to sample 2 recommended wines. Both solid wines. Dessert was Tres Leches. Mi novia said it was very good. The hostesses were very sweet and attentive. Our waiter was mostly responsive and attentive. The restaurant had a nice ambiance and for the area had ample seating. Highly recommended.

Augurio was the recommendation of a local tour guide after disappointing gastronomy experiences at La Noria and Santóua Gastrobar with the inflexibility of the chefs to accommodate vegetarian dietary needs. Upon arrival I was greeted by Gerardo Vega the General Manager. I told him this was my last attempt at having a fulfilling vegetarian fine dining experience on my final day in Puebla. I shared my disappointment with La Noria and Santóua Gastrobar and Gerardo reassured me he would go to great lengths to make my time at Augurio memorable. The menu is full of vegetarian options and Gerardo and his team made the whole menu available for modifications as I needed. My server Rafael was timely, communicated with me and executed service above and beyond. I loved seeing Gerardo interact with all the guests, genuinely caring about their experience and addressing their needs. Gerardo’s employees described him as an excellent leader. Augurio filled my vegetarian belly with lots of deliciousness and I leave Puebla complete in my fine dining journey. Keep up the great work Gerardo and Rafael!

A spectacularly great choice for fine dining in Puebla. I ate lightly, with a wonderful fideo seco, a chancla and dessert. A small bowl of their anise flavored mole came with chips, for sampling

A nice bar with a good vibe. The drinks and snacks were good and the servers were attentive. We enjoyed the music and the outdoors seating. Inside was a bit crowded and it was easier to hold a conversation outside. Our only complaint was that they were not flexible to substitute Tequilla for Mezcal in the Mezcal Pepino cocktail. I respect their right, but this is a bar and adding a shot of tequila rather than a shot of mezcal is so simple. It’s unfortunate as we did not order a second round. Other than that we like the place.

4 of us went for a drink here. Cool little bar. Nice atmosphere, nice decor, cozy. The staff were very friendly and helpful, they advised us about cocktails and made ones based on which ingredients we like . Going to return there tonight!

It’s a good place for groups. The place is mainly a restaurant with dj at nights. If you don’t get a table you still can hand around in the bar but their : pay at cashier, bring ticket, then order and wait for your drinks process can be painfully slow

So good and so personable! Will go the extra mile when you didnt know you needed it.

Friday night I went with friends to this cute bar for a drink and was pleasantly surprised by the nightlife here. The drinks were delicious, there was an excellent DJ, and the crowd was lively and friendly. Everyone was singing, dancing and drinking. We had such a great time!

Had a great round of drinks here! Friendly and attentive costumer service – the barman gave us tips for Puebla and told us about the San Pedrito location in Cholula, which we checked out the next day. The decor is quite beautiful and unique. We were lucky enough to go on a very quiet night – we were told the bar gets quite busy towards the end of the week/weekend.

Stumbled across this mezcaleria and glad we did! Such a great experience and some cool mezcals to try. Josue was super awesome and explained so much to us about Mezcal we didn’t know about. Can’t wait to come back .

(Translated by Google) A very quiet and beautiful place to walk with your dog on the weekends. I recommend going early because of the low influx, it is more relaxing to walk with your furry friend, clearly the later it is, the more people there are. It is important to bring a bag for dog waste since it is very clean and well-kept. There are also trash cans located throughout the area. (Original) Un lugar muy tranquilo y bonito para pasear con tu perrito los fines de semana. Recomiendo acudir temprano por la poca afluencia es más relajado pasear con tu peludo, claramente entre más tarde sea, hay más gente.

(Translated by Google) It's very nice to arrive early, it's good to avoid lines if you want to enter the museums, but you also have to wait a bit to get on the cable car, while you can walk around the fort among its meats that are very well marked.

I recently had an amazing experience at this place! The moles were absolutely delightful, and I couldn't resist trying the pork chop with three different moles. Out of all of them, the light brown mole stole the show for me—it was simply exquisite! The drinks were refreshing, and my family's dishes were nothing short of delicious. One standout was the Chanclas, which really impressed everyone at the table. Overall, it was a fantastic meal that I can't wait to revisit!

So in here the chile en nogada weighted half a kilo and was big enough to share. We share for two people and it was delicious. Only one cost $550, so once divided given the size felt fair for the price. The flavor!! The cream is truly made out of pecans, the filling had olives and other delicious things. I would 100% eat here again. The service was great as well! I left a bag and forgot it in the restaurant after I left and remembered after 15 min, came back to the restaurant and they had put it away for safety. Obviously I was able to get it back. We got there when it was like 30 minutes before closing and were able to finish our food just in time as well.

Great introduction to a lot of classic Puebla foods here, with seasonal specialty and in a great central location. We had mole poblana and sopa de pollo as well as the house special pollo frito. All were delicious. You can choose the type of meat you'd like with your mole which is a nice touch! (Leg every day!) Lovely setting in the historic centre but a very homely and nice feeling of home cooking.

We are vacationing here in Puebla and our taxi driver recommended this restaurant. Wow not just the food was excellent, but the ambiance was great! It has an old world charm and the service was the best. Ricardo took very good care of us! We plan on coming back to try some of there other specialties like their mole!

What a cute place! The taxi driver that took us to our airbnb from the airport recommended this place and it did not disappoint! We shared a chile en nogada and when I tell you it was scrumptious 😋 I mean it was perfection. If you go during season which is July thru September you have to try one. It is big and easily split they even cut it for you during preparation. We asked for a sample of the mole poblano and it was quite tasty. We both got margaritas the brown is tamarind. Pink I don’t remember.

I heard Puebla is known for their mole, and this place is supposedly one of the best places for that. I tried the entree that came with 4 enchiladas topped with 4 different moles. I was not a fan of the peach one. My favorite one was the green mole. My cousins preferred the original one. Overall, all the food was good. They had live music, and the service was phenomenal.

Had a wonderful class and meal with chef and staff. Very kind and hospitable, with the best cocktails in town, nit to mention the moles. Just wish i'd discovered it sooner. Thank you again to all involved.

Little or nothing in English, all in Spanish. No guides, no information, few or no explanations in English, everything in Spanish, how ignorant we do not share our culture because we are not interested in translating into English. Terrible!

Very interesting museum with multiple different parts ranging from Colonial paintings, to old cameras, taxidermy and many others.

The museum is nice. Medium size. I like the old scientific instruments. But no demo, or diagrams showing how they work. There're Spanish notes on what they are. The rest of the collection are paintings, mostly religious paintings. Some are quite large. Photos not allowed inside. Wednesday is free. I was there yesterday (Wednesday) and it was closed. The doorman told me to cone back the next day. Now is 30 pesos. No reason no sign as why it was closed.

A lot of interesting antiques to see

Wonderful! Authentic. A treasure. Natural objects. Medical, photographic, scientific instruments. Musical instruments. Classical, religious art. Salvador Dali drawings. Art decco, modern. Nice villa, former college. Take at least an hour, Google translate works well. Five stars.

Nicely museum but you cannot take photos.

Nice

Very delicious tacos gringa and al pastor!

The pastor was super flavorful and tender — highly recommend the gringa árabe with cheese, pineapple, and a nice soft flatbread. A fast, cheap, and tasty meal

I don’t recommend this place, and less after trying the delicious tacos form CasaTony! Here they serve Tacos al pastor, but the meat it doesn’t taste as good and it they were really dry. Staff was friendly but no beers!

GREAT value! Meat quality is great, cooked in front of you, service is on point. If your in downtown Puebla, you must eat here!

All I can say is wow, this is exactly what I dreamed about when I thought of Puebla and I was satisfied more than I thought I could be. Their Al Pastor will give you dreams

Terrible food bad service, not recommend!

These were the best al pastor tacos I've ever had. I will keep eating them elsewhere to make sure but this will require frequent visits back here. Make sure you get the arabe. I prefer it without the cheese. Service was top notch, food delivered fast and hot, all for under 100 pesos. I have nothing but good things to say.

Excellent early dinner before going to the arena. Staff was welcoming, knowledgeable and with great suggestions for both food and mezcal. Food was tasty, balanced and complex with great local products. The mezcalinas were absolutely delicious. Overall we had a really nice and fun evening before enjoying 2 hours of lucha libre!

Me and my dad came here for dinner. The drinks were really good. The atmosphere was comfy and clean, not too loud, just nice to sit and enjoy. For the appetizer we had a quesadilla with bugs in it, which sounds kind of crazy but it was actually really good. I got the tamale with mole for my main and it was super tasty, really full of flavor. They also gave us a complimentary elote which was a nice surprise. The service was good too. Everyone was friendly and checked on us the right amount, not too much but not ignoring us either. Overall it was a really good dinner and we were both happy we came.

An absolutely delightful experience. The corn on the cob with cheese and chilli was a taste sensation, as was the blue corn quesadilla with zucchini flowers and insects. The food is prepared and presented with such care and attention. Loved the cemitas and also the complimentary chocolate truffles coated with crushed grasshoppers. A dinner to remember, and I'd recommend this spot to others seeking not just refined food, but also great service and a wonderful experience.

Probably our favorite meal in Puebla. The food is more refined. They offer some wonderful, artisanal mezcals. Loved the chile en nogada and learned that it’s served at room temperature not piping hot.

As a passionate foodie, I can honestly say this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, everything was exceptional, the atmosphere, the staff, the presentation, and of course, the food. The menu was creative and beautifully thought out - every dish felt like a work of art, both visually and in flavour. You could taste the care and imagination behind every bite. The presentation was exquisite, served on stunning handcrafted plates that made the food itself feel like part of the decor. The staff were warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. We even had the chance to meet the owner and his son, who were so kind and humble - their passion for what they’ve created really shines through in every detail. The restaurant itself is gorgeous: elegant, artistic, and full of character. Every corner has been designed with love. If you love food — truly love food — this place is a must. It’s a perfect blend of creativity, heart, and craftsmanship. I left feeling inspired, nourished, and already dreaming about my next visit.

Absolutely outstanding experience! We visited Salón Mezocalli with a group and were completely impressed from start to finish. The atmosphere was excellent – warm, authentic, and full of character. The service was equally outstanding: attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the our visit. We ordered a wide variety of dishes from the menu, and every single one was exceptional. You can truly taste the passion and quality in every bite. I can wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend this restaurant. Anyone visiting Puebla – especially more than once – should definitely make Salón Mezocalli a must-stop on their list.

Tucked away in the heart of Puebla, Salón Mezcali offers an unforgettable dining experience that perfectly balances casual charm with refined service. From the first bite to the last, the food was exceptional — every entrée a delight. The mole stood out as a true highlight: rich, aromatic, and deeply traditional, while the guacamole was wonderfully fresh and vibrant. Vegetarian diners will be happy to find plenty of thoughtful options, each crafted with care and creativity. The atmosphere is chilled and inviting, yet the staff’s warmth and attentiveness made us feel truly special — treated like queens from start to finish. Salón Mezcali is a place that celebrates flavor, hospitality, and heart. A must-visit for anyone looking to experience Puebla’s culinary magic. Dominique- I just loved it! Thank you!

An absolutely historic place for Mexican history! All signs had English which was a great help, and arrows on the floor so you can follow the site chronologically. $48 pesos per entry but definitely worth it.

Excellent museum and displays. More extensive than we thought it would be. Display descriptions are in both Spanish and English. Rooms in chronological order tell the fascinating story of the beginnings of the Mexican Revolution. Don't skip this museum!

The Museo Regional de la Revolución Mexicana Casa de los Hermanos Serdán in Puebla is a fascinating historical site that immerses visitors in the story of Mexico’s Revolution. The house, once home to the Serdán family, preserves its revolutionary legacy with bullet-riddled walls and exhibits showcasing artifacts, photographs, and personal belongings. The museum captures the bravery of the Serdán family, who played a key role in sparking the uprising against Porfirio Díaz. Its well-preserved rooms and engaging displays transport visitors back to the early 20th century, offering a vivid glimpse into Mexico’s fight for justice and freedom.

If you love history and museums, this is a great place to visit. Located in Puebla's El Centro, just northeast of the zocalo, this museum offers a great documentary of one of the uprising events giving birth to the Mexican Revolution. In fact, it is in itself "self documenting" as this is the actual location where the events took place. Here, documented, are the details of the Serdán brothers and their spouses, as they planned their revolutionary uprising. The historical chronicle ends with a broader summary of the Mexican Revolution. It's near, too, Calle de los Dulces. So afterward, pop over and treat yourself to something sweet!

Very interesting views of the beginning of the Mexican Revolution. Many historical photos and documents on display. Beautifully restored furnishings. Some informational plaques in english as well as spanish language.

The house where the Mexican revolution broke out. The house was the home of the Serdan brothers - I feel the house and its decoration may have changed a lot since the Serdan's lived there - it is more like a monument than a time capsule from 1910. If you are not Mexican, you may not have heard of los hermanos Serdan - but they played an important role and are famous in Puebla. Apart from this museum there is also a tall column and statues of the brothers erected just north of La Paz - on 'Boulevard Hermanos Serdan'. 40 pesos to enter the museum.

Great museum in the very house where the history happened. You can see the bullet holes in the exterior. Inside you pay 48 pesos per person. Then you get to walk through the house and learn about the events that took place here, two days before the Mexican Revolution began. (This is really a precursor battle and story about the revolution itself.) In addition to the history of the Serdàn family, there is more about the events leading up to the revolution and the early years of it, through the end of the Madero presidency. It also includes some rooms that show what life in the house was like in 1910.

The Mezcaleria Miel de Agave was founded several years ago by renowned chef Liz Galicia and has been successful from the start. The food is locally sourced, with Chile en Nogades as a specialty. We started with typical appetizers such as chalupas and tacos, which are very finely prepared and far superior to street food. As it is currently in season, we also tried the chile en nogades. This is a very interesting dish, with apples and pears in the filling, giving it a sweet touch. To our taste, a counterpoint with more acidity or spiciness would have brought out the dish even more. Despite how busy it was, the service was attentive and very friendly. Highly recommended.

Best mescalería in Puebla. Great food and service too! Guacamole with chapulines are so good.

This is an incredible mezcal bar! There is an impressive range of mezcals on offer that is paired with an equally impressive level of knowledge and service from the bartenders. Anyone who is curious about mezcal, already enjoys mezcal and wants to learn more, or thinks they’ve already tried every available mezcal will be pleasantly delighted by the offerings here.

We interrupt this user's normal reviews to announce that he stopped into this Mezcal Bar in Puebla Central and asked for the most expensive, the bar tender's favorite, and the cheapest, as in "the one that makes you blind". Hiccup. Along with each shot came an explanation from Rafa the bar tender. Any errors in speling or grammar are a result of the most expensive, the bartender's favorite, or the cheapesr mezcal. Total cost for evening: $36

Amazing house crafted cocktails. Friendly service. Great place for a quiet afternoon meet up.

Quite interesting if you wanna try all kinds of mezcals. Cocktails are fantastic and service is good. Recommend

Honestly? The food was as good as the mezcal selection. I learned about Sotol, Bacanora, & Raicilla while munching on mole y la torta de salchicha

Noisy, messy, colorful but with a lot of delicious option to eat and very fresh produce and local products with a good price.

Excellent market wide variety of fruits vegetables and just about anything you could possibly need. Also many food and drink vendors.

Very colorful, great vegetables, fruits, fish and flowers.

I find Mercado la Acocota to be a typical fresh food market with everything one could expect to find at a Mexican market. I like the availability of fresh vegetables and fruits. These markets are my go-to place when shopping for fresh produce.

Very very dangerous place. There's a lot of drunkies and druggie in the businesses and surrounding area hygiene doesn't seem to exist there at all. The halls to walk through are very slim, difficult to walk thru in peak hours.

Super damn slow to get a chile en nogada. Mine took ages and my friends were cold when served. Apparently it's better to go on Sundays.

Look for Cemitas Juanita, best sammiches in all of Puebla. Super cheap and delicious. The market is okay but if you want to see it all be there before 6pm, many places close around 5-6

Wonderful area for tourists and locals with walking trails and historic fort on hilltop

Historical Zone, it's a great park it's huge and clean, one of the best places to get a date or to go in a familiar plan

Nice place to see the volcano 🌋. Very interesting.

Beautiful place, nice and clean. Great place to take pictures and learn some history.

Nice park. Lots of walking paths. Enjoyed exploring the area. Good views of Puebla from the heights.

A great feeling to be in that historic place, there are other museums and the view from there to the city of puebla is beautiful

A very nice park and green area around it. Beautiful view of town from up.

(Translated by Google) Everything tastes great 👍🏻👍🏻 I recommend them (Original) Todo con muy buen sabor 👍🏻👍🏻 los recomiendo

(Translated by Google) We ordered what they recommended and still had to wait an hour and a half. I don't understand if they lost the order and refused to accept the error, but the wait time was excessive. Furthermore, their attitude was indifferent. I WON'T RETURN (Original) Pedimos lo que nos recomendaron y aún así lo tuvimos que esperar 1 hora y media, no entiendo si se les perdió el pedido y no quisieron aceptar el error pero fue excesivo el tiempo de espera. Además su actitud era indiferente. NO VUELVO

(Translated by Google) Very good service (Original) Muy buen servicio

(Translated by Google) The tacos are very good, they are a good size and are 10 out of 10 👌 (Original) Muy buenos los tacos , son de un buen tamaño y son 10 de 10 👌

Cool place to buy locally made goods. Be careful with the prices for the antiques because they can be found much, much cheaper on eBay.

The story of the Alley of the Frogs goes like this: there was a river nearby where the frogs used to gather in this alley, especially when it flooded. I’ve heard a few different tales about this place. It’s a cool spot to walk around and browse for old relics, but nothing too special stands out.

These ancient alleys come to life at night! Specially in the weekends, beautifull to walk eat and drink! Here is a tip: don't order full servings of food, instead order entrees s9 you can bar jump all nighy and meet wonderful and kind people!

I love this area on Sundays. It's packed full of cool stuff to look at in a great neighborhood. Definitely a place to check out.

El Callejon de los Sapos in Puebla is a unique passage with restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and great boutique hotels. The lighting at night makes the architectural buildings come alive.

A very nice hotel..Quite in the historic center of Puebla city. Very clean nicely decorated. People are smiley, very kind and helpful. Highly recommend.

A unique lively street. This particular street has restaurants and antique merchants. The street is different from other markets in the city because they sell antiques and items that are not classic tourist items. Here you will find everything from brass candle holders and furniture to star was figures

Stunning all around, humble, beautiful and tasty. Ordering the Chilaquiles del Anafre con Arrachera was perhaps one the best decisions I have made this week. The chunks of steak- perfect and juicy, habanero in the sauce- distinct flavorful and subtle, chips- crispy and fresh. Every element world class. Excellent service. We ate breakfast here yesterday, one of the only establishments that opened early enough for us. My omelette was just as good.

I did not enjoy the food here. However, what was least enjoyable, was the fact that we were charged $0.03 pesos for slices of bread with a side salsa, that we did not order. When we brought this to our waiters attention, he said that the charge was added to the check for "control". He also made a comment about how $0.03 pesos is not a lot of money and then in a rude/sarcastic manner said that he would pay for it. I definitely will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone.

Came for a dinner. There were so many delicious looking items on the menu that we ended up ordering way too much just so we could try different things. The food is really good. I wish they had half stars because I’d give it 4.5 stars. The ambiance is nice. The service was good too. It’s about a six minute walk from the zocalo. The prices are more than a lesser restaurant, but still not overly expensive.

Mole Poblano was good and the pork ribs were tender. Crema Poblano was tasty. The beef was a bit tough but otherwise taste was okay.

I specifically seemed out the mole Poblano. A waitress welcomed me in. She disappeared after I was served. The mole was great but the rice was off. I pointed that out to another server and she took it back but never came back to check in with me. Felt dismissive. I wouldn't recommend based on service and a knowledgment of my complaint. The fact that it was so empty should have been my red flag.

This restaurant is part of the Hotel El Señorial (which is also a great option if you'd like to stay in the historic district of Puebla). We ate here 3 times and every time was a delightful experience, the chef here delivers a combination of deliciousness and beauty in his/her dishes. We just couldn't help coming back. The waiters and waitresses were also super friendly and attentive. All in all, if you are in the area, "El Anafre Rojo" will not disappoint, just drop by, no need for reservations (at least we didn't need any).

The food is delicious, mostly from Puebla but the menu also includes other kind of Mexican food, very well prepare and in creative styles. The environment is very comfortable and sophisticated. And it is in a great location in the center of the city. Finally, it has very economic prices for what you receive. Expect a bill of no more than US$25 for two people with drinks (non-alcohol), appetizers, soup and main dishes.

Make sure you go over everything in the room during check in. They charged us for allegedly stealing a robe that was never in the room. Meanwhile the valet took 40 minutes to bring our car around front. Overall room was pretty nice except the bathroom sink barely dribbled water.

Started great, good table beautiful place bread service with nice twist on butter presentation. Then it started to go bad, pasta tasteless meat overcooked not close to a medium rear or medium more a medium well to well done, spice over over sweet. It was sent back, dry pasta soup so so salty. Simply a disaster.

This is actually a review of the hotel suites. I am so pleased with the comfortable bed, the hot shower, the deep bathtub, the towels, the room appointments. I would not hesitate to stay here again. One heads up of note. They have a working kitchen so the peace and quiet of the night was broken at around 7:30 by kitchen people noises and distant music. I travel with earplugs because my wife snores but just a warning that you’re going to want to bring some earplugs if background noises like that make for a bad sleeping experience. Especially if you were up late the night before lol. Note 2: putting rosemary and lime pieces in the water bottle in the room sounds like a cute boutique spa idea, but it is actually a pretty stupid idea and it would be better just to have plain water.

If you want to enjoy Mexican cuisine try La Barroca. First class food and service a unique atmosphere and affordable prices. Thank you for the excellent service and attention of manager Enrique and his staff and the courtesy of the chef. Highly recommended.

Incredible location downtown Puebla, food is amazing and attention is flawless!

The lunch we had over here was brilliant. Carlos was our waiter and he did an amazing job by sharing his recommendations. It couldn’t be any better as we enjoyed the chicken breast with local moles, tortilla soup and a variety of starters. The prices were good as well. Gracias Carlos :-)

In the heart of Puebla's downtown, an old house nestles a magnificent restaurant that offers exquisite and novel dishes that preserve the regional ingredients, yet offering an authentic new mixture of flavors. One of the best if not the best in town.

The Santuario de la Virgen de los Remedios is located at a high altitude, and the air quality in the area can be challenging. The hike up to the church may be strenuous for those who are not accustomed to such conditions, but reaching the top is a worthwhile experience. The site is well-maintained, offering beautiful views, and the church itself has a magical atmosphere. Don’t forget to explore the back room of the church—you might be pleasantly surprised!

Really came to see the buried pyramid and the tunnels, but they were closed. Which sucked. So I hiked the long way up to the church, which is quite a climb in the hot sun. Nice church, amazing view. Wanted to check out more of the inside, but it was Sunday and there were a lot of people praying and I did not want to intrude. Lots of interesting vendors around, a very chaotic area to say the least.

This is a great hike up the site of an ancient pyramid. I thoroughly enjoyed knowing it was underneath the ground we walked on and the few parts that were exposed are impressive. I wish the tunnels would reopen and that the city would consider more excavating of the pyramid.

This church is beautiful inside and there are sweeping views of the city. It is a very steep hike with stairs though, so keep that in mind.

Beautiful! You need to be in a little bit of shape to be able to make the walk up to the church. I'm not sure if they have an alternative way up to the church for the wheelchair bound or elderly people as there is no way some people would be able to get to it.

A very beautiful church with a gorgeous view. Definitely worth the visit.

Wow!!! Simply stunning church on top of a historic site! Must visit spot if you are visiting Cholula, Puebla!

As a restaurant guest @ La Casa del Medrugo you are able to access their museum free of charge. A must visit you shouldn’t miss if you are in Puebla.

I had a fantastic experience in this museum! Everyone should go! It’s above the restaurant so you walk up the steps. I didn’t know what I would see in the museum as I was not dining in the restaurant and opted to take my own tour at first. However, Manuel gave me a fantastic, throrough, & fun experience detailing everyday Poblano life and the skulls of Prehispanic lords. It’s so worth paying 50 pesos to get the guided tour, and if you come on a Wednesday they let you in for free. The souvenuirs are cool too. I got a book about the excavation. Everyone is super friendly! This is a must see location for all the fantastic history native to that building and architecture alone. If you want something unique to Puebla don’t miss this!!

The museum is an odd hybrid of copies of ancient Egyptian artifacts and brief descriptions and ancient Mexican artifacts..But, downstairs is an elegant, ambient restaurant with fantastic food and excellent service at a surprisingly reasonable cost. We loved it so much, we made reservations for the following night. It's sublime.

It’s a very nice place to visit and probably dine. The best part was that restaurant manager at the end came to get feedback, which is a super good sign for any organization. As I said the ambiance and decorations are good with special taste but here are some point for improvement 1- we were there for dinner and there was a live music in place. The music was sooooo load and not that much pleasant. 2- food in general were soooo sweet which may not be so much desirable for everyone

Amazing experience and greatbservice. The food was generally good. Good drinks.

Fabuloso! Wonderful display and presentation. I learned so much. Thank you.

Jazz and music in the evenings while you taste delicious and local food

My friend and I walked in and got a lovely table by the window. The cocktails were creative and excellent. We shared 3 starters, and it was plenty of food for two people with smaller appetites. But the mains looked very tempting - next time!

Very innovative restaurants! The grilled cauliflower is sweet but awesome. 24-hour pork has a just-right texture and is perfect. The mochi cocoa dessert is flawless, with a good balance of sweet & salty, mochi & ice cream. Love it. The street view is lovely and service is very good

Service was perfect. We got a detailed explanation of each dish and the waitress was happy to answer all our questions. I can't remember what it was that we were given on the house before our starters but it was delicious. It was a tempura for a vegetable I cannot remember the name now. As starters we got the tongue carpaccio and a quesabirria. Both excellent. I did not love my main. The braised beef was nice but it was a bit bland. I did not enjoy the hummus it came with. It was very lemony and in my opinion it did not marry the beef. The flavours were too contrasting. Also the dish needed some crunch. The other main we had was the octopus which was very nice but the portion was quite small. For dessert we tried the peanut and corn. I did not enjoy the flavours of the dessert. Presentation in all dishes was spot on. I think I was just unlucky in choosing my main. I would go again.

Well sometimes 5 means 6. So far the best restaurant both in Mexico in this trip (and so far) . Cauliflower- I hope that I will be Abe to recreate. Aged cheese 🧀 was so rich in taste. And I do not normally eat tongue but my daughter really want to try it and … it was VERY good . A bit more expensive then the normal Mexican restaurants but in US standards it it Michelin for the price of …. Way less

Service and the food were unbelievably good. We enjoyed every bite of it. I highly recommend it to everyone

They have been in this new location for 2 years. Place is comfortable and modern. Cemita menu is diminished from the previous locación, there are not as many cemita choices available than before but still the cuisine is good. As many high end restaurants portions are not abundant , but they compensate in taste. It’s not a cheap bite but we’ll worth it.

Different small place, tasty author dishes. Portions are small but appetizers are great. Music was a bit too loud but once the place got full they turned it down. Service was nice and a reservation seems necessary around Puebla lunch time (3PM).

The Restaurant in this Hotel boutique is my favorite in Puebla. I make a point of coming here every time I am in town! The "degustación de moles" is amazing! I also love the mole Rosa (mole de piñón). Excellent service and marvelous food! Gourmet and creative, fresh and original.

It was a highly anticipated stay in late June and early July of 2025 based on all the nice but old reviews. But it turned out that we couldn't even get the basic services such as hot water in the showr and the bathrooms. It was brutal to take cold showers and wash hands in cold water in this cool/cold city even during the summer time. Staff were nice but no one was around at night so we had no one to turn to. This beautiful hotel was empty and it felt like a ghost town at night and early morning. It seems like this nice place has been abandoned for a long time, while other places nearby were hustling and happening. Breakfast was very basic and nothing special. But the manager was nice to offer us some refund due to the unavailability of hot water. But that was three months ago and still no refund. Highly recommend you stay in other places, and this one from the "past" and still in the "past".

I had one of the best Mole Poblanos here. The building is gorgeous and the patio just lovely

Wonderful boutique hotel with just a few rooms, great staff, very nice breakfast in a lovely courtyard, and a truly exceptional location in the heart of the town. Our room was super-sized and well appointed, with an upstairs sitting area.

Fantastic place and the best location in downtown Puebla. Great staff very attentive to guests needs . Hot Breakfast and if not enough plenty of good places around to eat or grab a snack. Only drawback is road noise made by cobblestone roads early in the morning but other than that a place I would go back to in my next visit

An excellent hotel in close proximity to the zocalo. In a heartbeat I would again stay in the room Samarcanda which features a comfortable loft sitting area. The room is well maintained with beautiful high ceilings and hard wood floors. The hotel courtyard is a relaxing retreat from seasonal afternoon rains and be certain not to miss breakfast. While I generally skip breakfast, the food here was one of the highlights of my trip.

One of the finest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. My beautiful room had stylish décor and extravagant bathroom. Each morning it was a great pleasure to have breakfast in the lovely courtyard, featuring seasonal fruit, toast, egg dishes, juice and coffee. The location in the historic center is superb. Most importantly, the hotel staff members are experts in customer service. I had a personal emergency during my stay. The hotel manager and restaurant manager went out of their way to show tremendous kindness to me, which I will never forget. I am so fortunate to have stayed at this wonderful hotel.

Avoid, better options for a comparable rate! My recent stay at the hotel was horrible and I continued to encounter issues despite being moved to another room. I like staying at design hotels because they restore the historical structures and usually provide better services. However, la Purificadora is poorly managed and repetitive problems throughout ruined the experience. The first room was really nice and I was looking forward to relaxing. However, the a/c unit was pouring water onto the floor and there was a pool of water on the floor. The a/c was directly over the closet and one of my bags got wet, luckily I laid my clothes on the chairs. The windows are not sound proof and loud music was playing from the bar next door throughout the night. The second room was smaller with no terrace, which I did not care if it was quiet. However, they were doing construction at 7 am on Sunday morning and woke me up. In addition, the shower head was not properly placed and sprayed everywhere. The shower floor also flooded and water ran into the common room. The front desk indicated that they will send someone, but they only fixed the shower head. I made a few complaints at the front desk, but management never got back to me. I have videos and photos, but I am unable to share in this correspondence. Overall, many of the issues I have encountered were due to a lack of effective management throughout the property. The restaurant was also all over the place and there was a lack of organization to ensure people are greeted as they walk in and seated, it was a free for all. Needless to say my vacation was ruined. I was unable to rest and returned feeling exhausted from my stay due to the accommodations. The cleaning and service staff were great, but management needs to step up to ensure maintenance of the property! I definitely will not be back!

The hotel staff is amazing, very helpful and polite. The dining room service and food is also very good. Location was perfect for sightseeing and local history. We used the sitting area in the evenings and enjoyed the fire features and drinks. Highly recommended.

A very creepy place- some modernist fantasy in an old structure. The food in the restaraunt is dismal and the staff is incompetent. The airconditioning sounds like a freight train. Lovely view of the parking lot or the park where music is incessant.

What a unique Marriott property! Attached to the convent next door. Very modern, with clear glass stairs and some floors. Very disconcerting when you first experience it. Enjoyed a week here and exploring Al that Puebla had to offer.

Rooms are dated. Loose tiles on the floor. A/C is very loud if it works at all. Glass box in the middle of the room is unsettling when trying to navigate in the dark.

My 3rd visit. It's a very attractive place on a good location. It has a big terrace with a glass pool and one can eat/drink enjoying a really nice view. I like the pool concept but on my last visit it looked as if the pool is bending, I don't know if it's the type of glass and/or usage but it's something important for the hotel to check out.

This hotel is like an oasis in a busy city. It is beautiful, clean and quiet. Exactly what I needed. I highly recommend getting a room with a balcony if possible. It made the experience magical.

The architecture of the building is nice, but the displays of items is minimal and the lighting is just awful. Glares on practically everything. The entrance fee is reasonable but I wouldn’t make a special trip here just for the museum.

Wonderful museum with many beautiful rooms. A must-visit in Puebla.

Nice historic details of the lives of some of the leaders. The artifacts and settings painted a realistic picture of the lives. Easily accessible.

The place is sepectacular not only because of the incredible facade it has making reference to a Great Sweet originally from spain wich is El Dulce De Alfeñique mede with sugar paste egg white and almonds. The construction belongs to the las third of the 18th century and since 1790 it has been or carries the great name of La Casa De Alfeñique. My experience in this museum was a lot of fun because at the beginning i didnt know where to start since the museum is very large, then i started the tour I could learn many things about the structor of the house and I could see how the old Puebla. Adress 4 Oriente,corner with 6 Norte Col. Puebla Centro C.P. 72000 Puebla Pue. Hours Tuesday to Sunday from 10.00 am to 6.00 pm General admission price $40 Discounts $20 under 12 years old students teachers and INAPAM with credentials and disabled people. The museum has satairs and a elevator for disabled or elderly people. Anyway I really hope that this information has served you and I hope that you take the time to visit this great museum it is really werth visiting it at least once in your life since you can see just a little of what it was like the old Puebla at that time.

One of the few unique museums in DT Puebla, different expositions, beautiful portraits!

You Must! Reflects the clasic way of life in this city at 19th century ...Un lugar imperdible

Originally, the museum was the home of some wealthy family. Today it's a museum with displays on regional history and art. Unfortunately, the displays have no English explanations, so if you're not fluent in Spanish, you won't get much out of your visit. It's too bad about this because Puebla is such an amazing city with such a rich history. Architecturally, though, the museum is stunningly beautiful. So even if you don't enter, check out its exterior. If you're a student or teacher, you get half price (from 40 pesos to 20 pesos).

Excellent breakfast and brunch spot, lovely location, food is very good. We enjoyed the enchiladas, the flautas, and the pastries. Personally I’m not a fan of the coffee beans they use to make espresso, they deliver high acidity which is not what an expresso should have. Also, the portion for the cappuccino is more of a macchiato, too small

Perfect place to have a coffee, some breakfast or lunch, bring your laptop and work from there. Upstairs there’s a library if you want some quiet time! Great place

Great food, great atmosphere. Amazing service from Alfredo.

Loved this bookstore/cafe. The book selection was awesome and so we the coffee & breakfast! Definitely recommend if you go downtown

Get ready for the best tacos of your life, Tacos Placeros De Cecina!

This cafe is outstanding, one of the best places I’ve eaten in Mexico in years!! We had breakfast here, we WILL go back later for dinner. A great ambiance, great service, great selection of dishes. The food is of exceptional quality and freshness! The prices are very reasonable! This will be our mainstay place to eat in Puebla!

It's a great place to spend your whole afternoon reading and feeling you are at a french cafe instead. Lots of people that visit have this vibe and it is honestly so relaxing! You can work there if you are in need of a coffee shop type of environment, besides there is great music playing and the background noise is at the perfect level to let you focus and still capture the mind that wanders in search of a sound to catch on. Recommend it a lot. It is not that pricey to spend a lot of time there and enjoy perhaps a book presentation. They have a letterboard at the entrance that allows you to know a lot of events happening at the surroundings or inside the place.

The service was pretty good, but the food was incredibly...bland and small in portion. We ordered a rib and you can tell it has been sitting there for probably a day since it had turned stale and dry. The spaghetti probably only comprised of few strand of noodles per dish, and the Lechero was so watered down it almost tasted like milk flavored water. But, it is incredibly budget-friendly here, and the only reason I didn't give it one-star. (Cash only) so you are getting what you are paying for. Just don't have high expectations.

Service was exceptional, the staff was friendly and always attentive. The food was good but could've had some more flavor. The restaurant decor is unique. Classical to Puebla.

Love this restaurant! I’m here for a week for business and I’ve eaten here twice in 4 days because its so delicious. Adrian on the wait staff made me feel welcome and helped me with the huge amount of menu items, I had chiliquiles for dinner delicious next time I had mole poblano. Yummy! Best chicken I’ve eaten in Mexico don’t miss this place, its a former palace and has loads of ambiance, Dolores keeps it super clean, thank you for the photo!

the 3 mole enchiladas was phantastic and an absolute steal at 79mx. extensive menu with most of the classic dishes at a very low pricepoint. great budget place

I visited this in a jam-packed Sunday afternoon. Simple yet tasty food was served surprisingly soon. A wide assortment of peppers, salsas and seasonings (including parmesan gratin) will accompany whatever food you order. For its low price, you get a good bang for your buck

Excellent restaurant. It's an unobtrusive restaurant with a nice atmosphere and excellent food (Mole Poblano). Great prices!

Nice, Mexican restaurant, quite big despite the narrow entry area. Very good is the menu, that has a photo of each dish, so even without Spanish you know what you'll get! We had each a drink, the enchiladas tres moles and a red pozole. While the enchiladas were good, especially with the green mole, the soup was disappointing. We got a bread with it, that wasn't great, but also tacos, that were decent. The total price was below 300$, so quite affordable. We didn't like, that all the cutlery was packed in plastic. It seemed like a big waste.

Recommended by Google and glad we went! The decor is a rustic modern which provides a comfortable dining ambiance. I had the Huarache de Hoja Santa con Pork Belly y Mole Poblano and couldn’t recommend it enough, I love the crunchy pork belly skin complimented with the mole. We also had the oxtail which was equally as impressive. The meal was complete with corn ice cream with a red wine reduction glaze and a cocktail. By far the best meal I’ve had on this trip and I look forward to coming back again soon!

Best dessert of my life - Calaverita Maicera - Día de Muertos special. Creamy, crunchy, toasty, smoky goodness. Our tacos were also delicious. 😊

Excelente! The food was delicious. Must try thr pork belly with mole. The oxtails were fantastic as well. Superb service!

We had a lovely meal. Amazing unique flavors. Generous portions. Friendly service and a great low-key relaxing vibe. Highly recommend.

Just ate here and the service as well as the food were very good! The menu was also available in english, which helped me a lot.

This was the 1st place we had a meal in Puebla. What a fantastic meal we had!!!! The rib tacos were outstanding. The mole was great. To finish it all we had a delicious blue corn ice cream. Could not recommend this place any higher. It's a must.

They serve some more modern Poblano food here. We tried the pork belly mole which was crispy and crackling with a very tasty mole base. Super flavourful and different than others we’ve had. Check out our channel for a full review of our experience: Hungry Two Travel.

An ornate Jesuit basilica church located a few blocks from the Zocalo. Entrance is free. Not as large or impressive as the cathedral but certainly worth a look.

A lot of church , pick up one u like

Is an impressive temple, you can observe several sacred sculptures of different saints and different paintings with related religious topics, the main altar is dedicated to the lot merci and behind of him you can observe the 12 disciples of Jesus, is a good place if you like sacred art or if you want to do a pray.

Remarkable, outstanding church where the spirit and soul of the China Poblana remains. A great chamber you can visit inside the church in the southeast corner, where the remains of the alluded woman are as well. Enjoy the visit!

This is a beautiful church ! and was always open to the public. Which made it easier to go anytime to 🙏 pray.

Beautiful well lit. Eucharistic adoration. Not as crowded and touristy as others. A good place to pray.

Gorgeous church façade!!

Small and cozy place to try some of the local and Mexican craft beers. Worth a visit if you are nearby. Prices are reasonable but a bit higher than usual. Can recommend taking a 5 beer sampler flight and then going for one of the local stouts.

Possibly the best place for local craft in downtown Puebla. Passionate and knowledgeable staff will walk you through anything you're looking for.

The craft beers were from different states in Mexico which made for a good experience. However the appetizers were lacking authenticity.

Cozy place with nice music but I wasn't that satisfied with the beer they had 5 or 6 on tap and few more in bottles.

Highly recommend the craft beer sampler if you're a beer lover. The service is awesome with friendly waiters.

Great beer, great food, great service. This is one of my favorite bars in the city

Nice place to have a good Mexican craft beer

Please update the hours on Google. Wasted trip :-(

It'd be nice if you had updated the hours so we don't travel all this way just to find out that you're closed for remodelling..

Still closed today and according to the police woman out front they don't have a date yet for reopening.

The planetarium is closed for remodeling. They should update the info on Google and save people time and money :/

Closed.

Visited the planetarium while exploring Puebla. Very reasonable ticket prices. The exhibits address space exploration and astronomy. The IMAX film is fun. Not being a native Spanish speaker, I had some confusion about how to enter the auditorium, but I followed the crowd and it worked out.

(Translated by Google) One of the photo assistants at the entrance got upset because I didn't want to take my picture. She gave me a dirty look even though I didn't sign or accept any privacy notice for the use of my information and/or photos. In the end, they sell it as an optional extra for between 200 and 350 pesos, depending on the format you choose. They should respect that and ask. Most of the guides are friendly and happy to explain things, while others don't do anything. The museum is a bit small, but it's fine for kids so they don't get tired. The bathroom cleaner was also a bit rude. The $80 general admission includes the screening. I liked it, although some parts were out of focus on the projector and it looked blurry. (Original) Una de las encargadas de las fotos que te toman en la entrada se molestó porque no me quise tomar la foto, me hizo mala cara a pesar de qué no firmé ni acepté ningún aviso de privacidad para utilizar mis datos y/o fotografías, al final te la venden opcional entre 200 y 350 pesos, según el formato que elijas, deberían respetar y preguntar. La mayoría de los guías son amables y te explican con gusto y hay otros que no hacen nada, el museo está algo pequeño pero para los niños está bien igual así no se cansan. También la señora del aseo del baño algo grosera. El boleto general $80 incluye la proyección, me gustó aunque algunas partes estaban mal enfocadas en el proyector y se veía borroso.

Cool teatro that I happened to pass by when walking to a restaurant but very nice at night with all the lights, would definitely come back during the day to visit if I’m ever in Puebla again

Beautiful place where you can enjoy a good play. I paid 660 pesos to see a popular Mexican play

Sound setup was awful. Voice saturating and clipping while at the same time being drown by the sound effects, which were not saturating. Show: Demente

Architecturally beautiful theatre with great performances.

Good

A great part of Puebla History. Beautiful building. Always crowded.

It is a Beatiful,glamorous and Clean place

Place closed due to renovations. Check before going. Still, the scenery was ŵorthwhile.

Sept 21, 2025: Museum is closed for upgrades 5 stars because in theory, it's dope.

It's so short, and I don't even speak Spanish so I couldn't read anything :[

Small museum with eclectic mix of items on display - extinct animal bones, human skeletons, artwork from pre- and post-conquest times, flags/weapons/uniforms from battle of Puebla era. Photos below - San Augustin, Carlos III, Coyotl (Aztec/Mexica). Free entry sunday - 70 pesos otherwise.

One of my favorite museums of Puebla! It's small but it contains the necessary elements to learn and understand the history of Puebla. There are also very important pieces of history here that you won't find elsewhere. It's location is also perfect since it's surrounded by other cultural areas, like the forts and the planetarium. Go visit, what are you waiting for!

A big section of the museum is closed for renovations until the end of September.

Personally spoke with staff: CLOSED FOR MAINTENANCE AND RENOVATIONS UNTIL FEBRUARY 2022!

This are really good tacos, you can’t go wrong with whatever you order, everything we had was good and everything else looked quite good. It’s tacos with an average quality, good prices and a very well decorated place. About $100-120 MXN per persoN.

Great vibe and amazing gringas!

This is a chain, so don't expect the most traditional flavors; however these are pretty decent if you want to check them out.

Very famous chain for Burritos. I was in Puebla for some office work and got to know about them. Being a food lover and frequent traveller, I went there to try some local food. Just loved it. Taste, ambiance, service, hygiene everything upto the mark. Go on serving people and All the best.

This is a great taco restaurant. The people is so friendly and the place is also very creative. I asked for shrimp soup and it was really hot (spicy) be aware of this. Everything else was excelent.

Good taste of tacos, very bad service. I had to ask 3 times napkins until I stood up and got myself ones. Never coming back, definitely

We stopped there for lunch and it was amazing. The food was delicious and the price was great as well. Friendly service and a wonderful atmosphere. Wonderful place to eat.
