    We ordered fries without the parmesan and cheese-sauce, just plain fries, and got served something that looked and tasted exactly like two medium sized McDonalds fries for which they dared to charge us 180 Pesos. The lemonade they offered us while walking in and to which we agreed before looking at the menu was at 140 pesos each. This is the biggest rip off we have had in all of Mexico-City so far. We will for sure never come back.

    Place was colorful and kids friendly with lots of games to play with. I had soy latte which was too bitter for me and very small portion. My friend had Chilaquiles which was super tasty. And the smoothie was too sweet for my friend lol. Lots of families with small children were enjoying the cafe.

    Finally ended up getting a table here for a late lunch. No wait and great place to hangout. We played a board game (which we borrowed) while eating our lunch. The food was delicious and the service was good. Plenty of spaces to hangout in whether it be upstairs, the back terrace or the inside. Oh and the fries were perfectly fresh and hot

    An aspiring games café, but could take some advice from La Caravana. The food was ok, but prices were inconsistent. My friend has Celiac, and the only option for her was an overpriced salad (it was basically just a plate of lettuce). The games are pretty limited: mostly party games, with a few strategy games thrown in. The café would benefit from having staff who can recommend games and teach the basics to help people get started. I think it would be better if instead of saying that people need to buy food in order to play a game, they should just charge a cover fee for playing. Lovely location on the park.

    Fun atmosphere, with folks playing card and board games. Food was so-so, standard burgers and mexican dishes, nothing amazing but not bad at all either. Come here to meet friends and chat, not for extreme cuisine.

    Came to have some drinks and play board games with my friends, the ambience is pretty cool, you get a ton of options for board games, the drinks are fun, the food is so-so, definitely a good idea to come here with a lot of friends ☺️

    If I could leave 0 stars I would . We started hosting a board game group here and the manager on Wednesday is a complete a hole. We bring 15-25 people but they are greedy and wanted to charge us 12.50 usd to just play , when it’s mostly empty. The food is overpriced and the service is awful.

    Altho they got our plate wrong after I just pointed at the menu and all 13 of our friends finished eating WAY before our pizza arrived... they gave us free french fries in waiting and the pizza was DELICIOUS! Worth the wait! We enjoyed playing Uno, Jenga, and the Picture Headband game with a table of 14 people (took 30 minutes to wait to get a table - not bad!). We had a blast!

    We tried booking before arriving since we know it gets busy, but apparently they don't do that anymore. The Chicken wings for "sharing" are barely enough for one person. Overpriced tbh. Burguers are a better option since they come with many fries. Drinks are good, we had a Barrilito. Service is nice but it's a bit overcrowded so don't be surprised if waiter bump into you while eating.

    The vibe of this joint is pretty cool, but let me break it down for you. Back in the day, you could just grab some drinks and play the games, no problem. But now, they're all about that food consumption, man. And here's the kicker: the water they use to whip up their grub ain't even filtered. You can totally verify it by asking for a glass of water, and trust me, it tastes hella nasty 🤮

    Solid choice to grab breakfast in the neighborhood. Good service and there are board games for game nights!

    Great place to play board games and have some desserts. I had the cheesecake here and it was decent.

    I love the decoration, the table games you have access to, but the food was not sooo good, just the standard one.

  • 1/5 Sarah S. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered the simple "bisquet con mantequilla y marmalada" and it ended up LITERALLY being a hamburger bun that was heavily buttered and seared on a grill in an attempt to mask it's true identity. The marmalade was a packet of Heinz strawberry jam. Compared to the caliber of cafes in the area it was way below par. The only plus was that it faces the park and it has a unique interior (which didn't matter in our case since we sat outside). Appalled that we were served a hamburger bun on a plate and charged over 60 pesos for it. Recommend to SKIP

    A great place to play board games and have a lot of fun with your kids or nephews or nieces or in family, I loved it, because if you can eat and have fun at the same time is money well spent

    Surprisingly. Having an American menu and look in the middle of La Roma, I thought it was going to be bad—shame on me. Had a burger and fries and they were awesome. Also, the it’s pet friendly and opens till late. I will come back
