The tomato salad with a mild goat cheese topped with ground almonds was superb , a must ! Also, the ancho chile stuffed with meat, and apples and covered with... More

Well, the glass wasn't small, but the amount of wine in it was. The setting was pleasant and the food was good when we finally got it. Unfortunately, our table was close to the entrance, right next to the musician's spot, so conversation was difficult. He wasn't there when we sat down but the occupied tables in the opposite corner... More

Buganbillia has moved twice. But in its present location at the Hotel Casa Linda, Mesones 101, across from the Angela Peralta theater, the courtyard is very pleasant, and the food delicious. The night we were there, they had an excellent guitar player and the staff was extremely pleasant. We very much enjoyed our dinner of two kinds of stuffed chiles.... More

I keep coming back in spite of the move to another location, an emotional attachment. Service may be a bit slow, but I'm not in a hurry and the sopas and grilled chicken are my favorites. A nice, quiet place for lunch and reading or with friends. The address is no longer Hidalgo 42, but is now located on calle... More

Oh my gosh. It was bad from beginning to end except for my chiles en nogada which were excellent. Right off the bat, they could not make a special "vodka margarita" (I do not drink tequila) because they only make up a pitcher of their type of margarita. Then my husband and our friend ordered the Steak Arrachera and it... More

Loved this place for years for traditional cuisine and lovely ambiance. It's moved and it's changed--not at all one of the best. Ordinary food, ESP as compared to the many new places in recent years.

Bugambilia (Sollano No. 21 (Atras de la Parroquia), tel. 415-152-0127). We sat in the courtyard for dinner and it was lovely. There were 3 other tables being served at the time—two of them with gingos. We enjoyed the meal and our evening there. Our server was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We asked many questions and he answered them informatively. We... More

I am a "part timer" in SMA, and there are so many restaurants there, that it still has taken me awhile to "make the rounds". We were invited to go to Bugambilia, a long standing restaurant there in SMA, and so we welcomed the chance to strike this one off of our list. I knew that the Bugambilia was known... More

Always come here for chiles en nogada. What a treat- like the wedding in Like Water for Chocolate. Like the new location but so many memories in the old one.
