“ We had a great time at La Villa. We all had egg dishes that came with frijoles frito and they were especially delicious. The waiter offered us a choice of Bolillo with butter or tortillas and salsa to accompany our breakfast dishes. We chose the Bolillo and it was delicious. The view of the town Square from this restaurant on the terrace is very nice. However, there is also seating inside the restaurant or inside the courtyard of the building. ”
“ Stopped by this morning for some chilaquiles verdes con huevos estrellados. Overall everything was delicious. I loved the fresh bolillo provided with our coffee and the view of the plaza from the outdoor seating but the best part was the 5 star service provided by our server! ”
