As a passionate food reviewer, I believe this establishment beautifully encapsulates the essence of traditional Mexican cuisine paired with a vibrant atmosphere. The moment you step inside, you are teleported to a picturesque locale that radiates both history and warmth, as highlighted by our customer El pika viajero.

One standout feature of ¡Ay Dolores! is its menu, which celebrates the rich diversity of Mexican flavors. Take, for instance, the Guacamole ¡Ay Dolores!—a traditional take on a beloved classic, enhanced with a fusion of insects such as chapulines, escamoles, goma de maguey, and more, priced at just MX$138. This dish not only delivers on flavor but also embodies the unique culinary heritage of Mexico.

Another highlight is the Hurache, loaded with fresh ingredients like frijoles, nopales, and caramelized onions. You can customize it with your choice of cecina, pollo, or chorizo verde, making for a deliciously immersive experience at a mere MX$78.

For seafood lovers, the Pulpo a las Brasas showcases perfectly grilled octopus served on a bed of esquites—delicate and flavorful, it showcases the restaurant's flair for fresh and high-quality ingredients.

The ambiance is just as impressive as the food. Guests rave about the lovely decorations and live music, creating a lively dining experience. As rosalia peña shared, the atmosphere is infectious, allowing for peaceful conversations and a relaxed dining experience. Service here is commendable—illuminated by a genuine warmth that makes guests feel valued, as noted in the thoughtful gesture of returning a forgotten umbrella.

The place is super picturesque and I recommend eating inside the place, since it teleports you to another time. The food is delicious and has an affordable price, although some dishes could improve the seasoning. The drinks are super good, I definitely recommend visiting it.

One of the best pre-Hispanic food restaurants. It is not expensive for almost all its dishes and drinks. Most of the dishes are based on the wide variety of worms in our kitchen. The staff knows what they are selling and they kindly explain the content of each dish. ...
