Fodor's Review:

This genteel institution near downtown's Plaza Santo Domingo has been serving colonial dishes in an atmospheric town house since the late 19th century. Feast on stuffed cactus paddles, thousand-flower soup, pot roast, and the house specialty, chiles en nogada (stuffed poblano chile peppers bathed in walnut sauce). Among some of the best homemade Mexican desserts in town are the flan and rice pudding. The place is open for breakfast and is always full at lunch; it closes at 10 PM.

In their season, establishments claiming to offer traditional fare come and go. We recommend La Hosteria de Santo Domingo for consistent traditional quality. Giant beets in the produce section prompted me to write tonight. We are trying to recreate the delicious pickled beet salad on offer at Hosteria. Most of the ancient gourmand delicacies they serve cannot be reproduced. In the distrito historico with other antique establishments like Cafe Tacuba, Hosteria is legendary, serves excellent traditional dishes and offers a classic atmosphere with piano and voice virtuoso most evenings. If you appreciate "Old Mexico" don't miss this charming little restaurant.

We went there for lunch and it was rather quiet. Very good, old-style service, good food and excellent margaritas.
