Fifty years have passed since the grand opening and the restaurant remains as the space of a necessary visit in marvelous Mexico, both by the people that live here, and by foreigners and visitors from all over the country.
Through time it was necessary to renew the space, which is exactly what the Mexican Architecture Office of Sordo Madaleno did.
