Truly amazing place. The outside approaching the ave is wonderfully decorated and inviting. The flowers and candles lead you down into the cave which extends the them and vibrance. The lighting in the cave amplifies the environment. The food is excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful and attentive. Visiting around Dia de los Muertos is highly encouraged.

The place is amazing, completely decorated with flowers, candles and traditional Mexican skulls. The food was good, well served and we'll presented. The service could improve: the restaurant was not full and we had to call for their team several times to be attended. Still a great experience

We were in Mexico City exploring and decided to visit the famous Teotihuacán pyramids. After a long morning of walking and taking in the sights, we stumbled upon La Gruta a restaurant we had heard so much about and decided to give it a try. The experience was incredible! The restaurant is located right within the pyramid compound, so you can explore and then enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner just steps away from history. We went for brunch around noon, and everything was amazing from the ambiance to the food and drinks. I highly recommend trying the Gruta mole by far the best mole I’ve ever had! The café de olla was exceptional too.
