Delicious turkey breast torta, also the soup it's amazing. Don't forget to try the pierna torta. If you go for breakfast ham and eggs are the best.

Classic meals great prices. Traditional food

This is by far one of the best places to have lunch in Mexico City; the food is awesome, the prices are affordable, and it's situated right in the middle of Downtown, surrounded colonial buildings and history.

I was here in 2017 and again today... best little lunch deli near zocalo... forget high fashion decor... a great working class lunch and supper place... everything cooked in house... specialty is roast ham and roast turkeys... roundly on view in the shop window to see... but tasting is believing... great friendly service for tourists...and excellent prices... spent 2 hours finding it but it was worth it. cant go wrong for a bite on the fly.

Saw this on YouTube Mexico street taco video and came over because....Where else can you find a turkey torta? Excellent turkey sandwich or torta de pavo horno, consomme, hot chocolate for my partner and cerveza para mi. Excellent simple and less than 200 pesos!.

The best place to eat Turkey, one of my personal top choices, good prices, you can drink a beer or a coffee or a chocolate! Also I recommend torta de pechuga, sincronizada y consome especial. Sandwiches quesadillas y consome.

The turkey console with lots of lime and some salt is absolutely delicious! Their turkey tacos are not far behind. You wouldn't give two cents for the place but food is really delicious

This is the best food I ate while in Mexico City for 5 months. I ate here at least twice a week. Being from the US, I went to Mexico assuming I'd have the best tacos ever. Unfortunately I wasn't a fan of any of the foods I thought were "traditionally" Mexican. Went to this place, and had the turkey sandwich and consomme and was blown away. So simple, so delicious. When I return, I wanna try other things on menu. These photos are mouth-watering.
