Un lugar bonito, tranquilo y bueno para desayunar, comer y cenar. Los alimentos son bastos y de buena presentación. El servicio de los meseros amables, excelente opción si andas en el centro de Talpa y quieres un lugar más acogedor.

Es un lugar super bonito, se ve como mirador, se siente un ambiente muy tranquilo, la comida es rica, el servicio es muy bueno. Y lo mejor, el propósito del café es apoyar a una casa de descanso de sacerdotes, así que mientras consumes haces también una obra de caridad.

I had a medium Americano coffee and an ice cream on Domingo afternoon when all the other shops were closed. It was delicious. I would recommend coming here, and trying These and other food and drink items. The staff was very helpful, very attentive.

Visitamos Cafetería La Cruz en su sucursal de Talpa de Allende y la experiencia fue bastante grata. Probamos dos platillos: panela al pesto y un club sándwich, y ambos nos sorprendieron por sus porciones generosas y la calidad de los ingredientes. El pan que acompañaba la panela tenía un intenso sabor a ajo, lo que lo hacía delicioso y combinaba perfectamente con el pesto y la suavidad de la panela. El lugar tiene un ambiente muy agradable, ideal para una cena tranquila después de recorrer Talpa. Además, los precios nos parecieron bastante justos en relación con la calidad y cantidad de comida. Gastamos menos de $500 pesos en una cena para dos personas y, aun así, tuvimos que dejar algo de comida porque las porciones eran muy abundantes. Si bien la atención del personal podría mejorar un poco (por momentos nos hubiera gustado pedir algo más, pero no teníamos la atención de los meseros), esto no opacó la experiencia general. Definitivamente es un lugar que vale la pena visitar y al que nos gustaría regresar para probar más de su menú.
