The pancakes are girls, but they are delicious if you haven't tried them you don't know what you're missing,,,
Busy establishment specializing in chorizo cakes with the traditional recipe from Malpaso, Zacatecas. It is a place that has lasted for just over a century with its signature dish that preserves the authenticity of this typical dish. Although the cakes may seem simple, in reality it is an experience that denotes the vehement commitment to perpetuating a centuries-old formula with Spanish roots. The chorizo is brought daily from the town of Malpaso in Villanueva and its artisanal preparation remains a secret, the bread is produced locally and highlights the combination of spices and pickled serrano chiles as an accompaniment to each order. The furniture is simple and consists of square tables spread throughout the living room and you are served from a small bar overlooking the kitchen and a refrigerator that contains a limited supply of soft drinks. The portions come in only two sizes and vary according to the price offered on the menu. This location is located in the Historic Center of Zacatecas, in front of the Fuente de los Conquistadores, right at a busy intersection where public transportation routes circulate, it is surrounded by all types of commercial establishments. The place is emblematic in the City, and has been frequented by different personalities throughout many generations; It is visited daily by tourists and local people, it has become a reference for Zacatecan gastronomy.
Some delicious chorizo slices, that's what cakes are called in Zacatecas.
The truth is that I expected little from the pancakes because they look super simple, but what a surprise I had when I tried them, they are delicious. I recommend ordering the traditional double (which comes with 6 balls). The single ones are 25, and the double ones are 35 pesos. If you just want to eat quickly, deliciously and cheaply, this is a very good place.
