El Repollo Rojo
$-$$, Eclectic, Col. Remance
Fodor's Review:
Better known as the Red Cabbage (its English name), this restaurant is by -- but doesn't overlook -- the Cuale River. It's hard to find the first time out, but it's worth the effort for the international comfort food. Homesick Canadians fill up on chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry sauce, while Italians indulge in pasta with fresh tomatoes; there are even a few Russian dishes. Frida's Dinner includes an aperitif of tequila followed by cream of peanut soup, white or red wine, chile en nogada (a mild chili decorated with colors of the Mexican flag), a main dish from the Yucatán or Puebla, and flan for dessert. Romantic ballads fill the small space, and the walls are crowded with movie posters and head shots of international stars. Here's the quandary: some patrons rave about the service, and others lambaste it.

I am sorry to read the bad report. One never knows but we love it here and go very often. Hi to Lola and be sure to check out the banos. BTW, I adore El Arrayan and Carmen!!! garyrbeck restaurant reviewerRude waiters - food not worth the money

I recently went to this restaurant on a recommendation of a friend. The minute we walked in the door, the host was incredibly rude, correcting my mother on her spanish pronunciation (when HE was actually the one who misunderstood HER). The food - nothing to write home about. One of us ordered the specialty - stuffed peppers with raisins and pine nuts. Only it arrived with no raisins and no pine nuts. Spend your money somewhere else. El Arayan is a MUCH better restaurant, for example.Out of the way but worth the trip

Lola has recently remodeled her somewhat funky little bistro - lovely! Updated but retaining the same charm. Wonderful margaritas and the best guac in town but stray off the standards and try the amazing chilis en nogada, the albondigas or the carne en su jugo. You'll need reservations during high season or expect a lengthy wait.
