Why Travelers Love Casa Mayordomo
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
I loved my family breakfast here, food has the home-made touch, they have natural fruit juice and the salsas to pair the food were tasty. Came here for their chocolate and it’s simply delicious. I had chocolate in water (not milk) and it surprised me on how good it taste. I want to come back to try it again. I just didn’t like the service as no one came to us when we arrived, we found a table for ourselves and had to call them to have their service even though the place was pretty empty The meal came so fast I didn't even have a chance to fart. There is no way in the world that two orders of chicken cordon blue could be made from scratch that fast. Frozen then deep fried. Small portions no flavor, would not go back.

Came here for breakfast on a Monday morning. The restaurant has a great atmosphere for breakfast especially. The staff was friendly, however they didn’t speak any English so it was a little bit challenging. I had the “huevos a la oaxaqueña” for the sake of trying something Oaxacan. It was tasty and the portion size was large! Everything tasted fresh.
