Description

With hot pink walls and glaringly bright Edison lights dangling from thick beams of wood, this colorful restaurant is not bashful. The lengthy menu takes a playful approach to classic Pueblan flavors. There is the signature mole tasting, which offers a range of nutty, sweet and salty styles, but also there are inventive, hearty combinations like roasted bone marrow with fried sweetbreads, avocado cream and sweet corn. One could make a meal out of ordering rounds and rounds of excellent tongue tacos with tomatillo salsa. The cooking can be rich and heavy, so sharing is the best way forward. Fin

Review summary

Augurio in Puebla City offers creative Mexican cuisine with an average rating of 4.5/5. Food quality is the standout feature, praised for exquisite flavors, layered presentations, and unique cocktails. Dishes like classic mole poblano and innovative desserts receive high marks. However, service and pacing are inconsistent; some guests report missed reservations, slow meal timing, and poor staff attitudes. The atmosphere utilizes a historic building with simple, tasteful decor, though some find the wall art lacking. While the culinary experience is generally strong, negative reviews highlight issues with attention to detail and service reliability. It suits adventurous diners seeking gourmet local flavors, provided they manage expectations regarding service consistency.
