The Casa de los Azulejos ("House of Tiles") or Palacio de los Condes del Valle de Orizaba (Palace of the Counts of Valley of Orizaba) is an 18th-century Baroque palace in Mexico City, built by the Count of the Valle de Orizaba family. The building is distinguished by its facade, which is covered on three sides by blue and white colonial Talavera tiles from Puebla state. The palace remained in private hands until near the end of the 19th century. It changed hands several times before being bought by the Sanborns brothers who expanded their soda fountain/drugstore business into one of the best-recognized restaurant chains in Mexico. The house today serves as their flagship restaurant.
The counts of the Valle de Orizaba began construction of the palace in the 16th century. Descendants of this House of Orizaba covered the exterior of the palace in 1737 with the beautiful azulejos that are seen today.

The food has always been good and the prices are fair. What I just don't like and doesn't work for me is the waiter service in the bars area; there are only a few waitresses in charge of tables and the bars all together. Even though the waitresses work as hard as they can and push themselves to cover all this area, it's not enough for taking all the orders and delivering the plates on the appropriate time.

The house itself is magnificent. Eat at the restaurant. Keep it simple. Molletes are a must, and chilaquiles are good.

Beautiful building that is also one of the many in Mexico City that is sinking. The entire place is on a lean but is well maintained and impressive. We were there for lunch and pleased to find they have English menus. Had the Swiss enchiladas and chicken tacos. Both were delicious and price was very reasonable. Highly recommended!

This review is for the chocolate counter. After biting into one of the chocolates I bought, I realized it was full of mold 🤢. Another truffle was super dry, so I would have to assume most of their chocolates are not fresh at all. 4 stars for the restaurant itself, which was great value in a beautiful space.
